Wobble stool and base
A wobble base provides a curved floor-contacting surface with one or more alignment posts that align the wobble base to the bottom of a seating platform and one or more holes separate from the alignment posts through which one or more fasteners may be placed to attach the wobble base to the seating platform, thereby providing a wobble stool. The wobble base can be configured to convert an existing stool into a wobble stool by replacing one or more floor-contacting members with the wobble base. In a second embodiment, a seating platform, such as a stool, is provided with both traditional floor-contacting members, such as feet or casters, and with a wobble base that allows the traditional floor-contacting members to be removed and replaced with the wobble base, and allows the wobble base to be removed and replaced with the traditional floor-contacting members.

Joining and levelling system for parts of furniture and furnishing items with the shoulder on the floor
A joining and levelling system for furniture and furnishing items with a bottom and a shoulder positionable on a floor includes a front body and a rear body each having a connection group and a blocking group, adapted to stably interconnect the bottom and the shoulder, and a levelling group. The connection group, the blocking group and the levelling group can be actuated from the front of the furniture, the front body and the rear body being each positionable in lateral contact with the shoulder and beneath the bottom, actuation points of the connection group, the blocking group and the levelling group of the front and rear bodies being positionable on a horizontal plane parallel to the floor and to the bottom, adjacent to each other. A symmetry axis of the connection group coincides with or is substantially close to a center line of the front and rear bodies.
Retractable furniture caster system
An example article of furniture includes a number of furniture legs having mechanically coupled thereto a respective furniture caster having a rolling component. The furniture casters are movable between (i) an extended position in which their rolling components at least partially extend below bottom surfaces of the furniture legs and (ii) a retracted position in which their rolling components are positioned entirely above the bottom surfaces of the furniture legs. Push-pull cables are mechanically coupled to the furniture casters, and at least one actuator is mechanically coupled to the push-pull cables. When actuated, the actuator applies a pushing force to the push-pull cables, thereby causing the furniture casters to transition from the retracted position to the extended position. When the actuator is not actuated, the pushing force is removed from the push-pull cables, thereby causing the furniture casters to transition from the extended position to the retracted position.
MODULAR SYSTEM
The present disclosure provides a modular system comprising standardised sets of parts including tile elements (304) and connector elements (314) which can be assembled together simply and quickly to build a secure and completely customised storage solution or, for larger version of the disclosed system parts, furniture solution, according to the needs of the user. The system allows for effectively infinite variations while maintaining simplicity of design and easy of both assembly and disassembly.
Freestanding support structure
A freestanding support structure includes a first leg member having a first base portion having a free end extending along a first base axis and a connected end and a first support portion extending upwardly from the connected end of the first base portion along a first support axis to a top end. A second leg member includes a second base portion having a free end extending along a second base axis and a connected end and a second support portion extending upwardly from the connected end of the second base portion along a second support axis to a top end. A base platform is connected to the free end of the first base portion and to the free end of the second base portion and a top platform is connected to the top end of the first support portion and to the top end of the second support portion.
Cone assembly and method of manufacturing such assembly
A cone assembly for furniture or interior accessories is provided. A plurality of cones is arranged in a linear array to form the cone assembly, wherein an inner cone is received by at least one outer cone; and wherein the outer cone is made of a first layer of material being different from the material of the inner cone.
Leveling foot installation tool
Various embodiments illustrated herein disclose a leveling foot tool which comprises a first base and a threaded rod. The threaded rod comprises a cavity to insert a screw nut and bolt assembly. A socket driver is installed over the screw nut and bolt assembly. The leveling foot tool is mounted on a drill. The first base of the leveling foot tool has one or more holes through which one or more screw nut and bolt assemblies are threaded. A leveling foot, which is to be installed comprises a second base and a threaded rod. The second base of the leveling foot comprises one or more holes to receive the one or more screw assemblies of the leveling foot tool. Using the rotational and the translational motion of the drill, the threaded rod of the leveling foot is drilled into a threaded hole of a leg of a machine.
Detachable five-star base
The disclosure belongs to the technical field of support structures, and in particular relates to a detachable five-star base. In the disclosure, the clamping plate, the arc-shaped groove plate and the support block are arranged on the center block, and the connecting groove, the arc-shaped connecting plate and the jacking block are arranged on the detachable foot to achieve the effective disassembly and assembly of the five-star foot. The disclosure has a reasonable and effective detachable structure of the five-star foot, the detachable feet are easy to be engaged and positioned before disassembly and assembly, the resistance is moderate, the operation is convenient, the support strength after installation is large. The friction and fixing effect between the detachable feet and the center block is good, the detachable feet are not easy to rotate and fall apart, and the number of detachable feet can be adjustable.
METHOD OF MANUFACTURING A BASE PLATE MEMBER FOR A TABLE AND A PRODUCT THEREOF
A method (10) of manufacturing a furniture base plate member includes the steps of providing a hollow longitudinally elongated metal profile roll formed from a sheet of metal, which includes an upper side and a lower side; pressing the upper side and the lower side of the metal profile against each other, such that at least one section of the upper side and the lower side abuts each other, such that two channels are formed by said pressing and having at least one opening at each longitudinal end of the metal profile; and arrange support members having insertion members extending into said the longitudinal channels at said openings.
