An article of manufacture for providing brackets for use in a moving and self-storage system is disclosed. The bracket has one or more plates coupled together to for a flat surface for attaching to items used to construct storage objects, a plurality of through holes in the plates allowing attachment mechanisms to secure the plates to the items used to construct storage object, and two or more orthogonal plate members extending outward from a bottom edge of the one or more plates, the orthogonal plate members being configured to engage a bottom surface of the items used to construct storage objects when the one or more plates are attached to sides of the items used to construct storage objects.

A system for fastening panels in a perpendicular manner is provided. The system comprises a semicircular base frame attached in a recessed manner into an edge area of a first panel, a similarly shaped semicircular top frame fastened atop the base frame, and a dial magnet assembly resident in the top frame. The system also comprises a slider mount assembly with an embedded magnet and attached proximate an edge of a second panel that receives insertion into a cavity created by the fastening of the top frame to the base frame. The slider mount assembly also receives attraction to the top frame based on a turning action of the dial magnet assembly in a first direction and binds to the fastened top frame and base frame based on the received attraction. The binding of the slider mount assembly to the fastened frames binds the two panels in a perpendicular manner.

Modular building blocks may be used to provide furniture or other items. Each modular building block has a number of interleaved layers that provide first and second arms of the building block. Each modular building block comprises a first engageable finger section formed from one or more of the interleaved layers and a second engageable finger section formed from two or more interleaved layers. The second engageable finger section of one modular building block receives the first engageable finger section of another modular building block allowing various arrangements to be assembled.

A joining device for parts of furniture and furnishing accessories, including a casing or container body suitable for being inserted in a seat formed in one of the components of the item of furniture to be joined and provided with an expansion bushing externally projecting with respect to an open end of the casing or container body and suitable for engaging with a further seat of a further component of the item of furniture to be joined to the component wherein the casing or container body is inserted, the joining device which includes a cam mechanism for a linear and reciprocated motion of an actuation unit co-operating in an expansion deformation movement of the expansion bushing and in a backward and traction movement of the same expansion bushing, with the cam mechanism and the actuation unit housed in the casing or container body and actuated by a tool.

The invention discloses a column-beam connecting assembly capable of being manually assembled, including connecting columns and connecting beams. The connecting column is formed with an arc channel along the axial direction. The arc channel opens to the surface of the column as a groove. A number of pairs of anchor slots are shaped on both sides of the groove, and the anchor slots of the same pair are at the same height. Mounting parts for snapping into the anchor slots are shaped on both sides of the connecting beam. Half T-shaped jointing heads are provided on the outer ends of said mounting pans for connecting to the arc channel, and said jointing heads are either in the shape of a column head matching the arc channel, or in the shape of a hook head. A frame structure assembled by the connecting parts is further disclosed.

A modular furniture assembly includes: a base member having a frame assembly, a transverse member having a frame assembly, a foot configured to contact a support surface, and a mounting platform having a plurality of apertures therethrough. The mounting platform is configured to be mounted on the base member frame assembly and the transverse member frame assembly, thereby connecting the frame assemblies. The foot is selectively mounted on the mounting platform, such that the foot is configured to contact the support surface when the modular furniture assembly is in an upright configuration. The mounting platform connects the base and transverse member frame assemblies together and also acts as a platform for receiving a variety of different types of feet.
