A panel assembly for a building includes a panel configured to extend between a first surface and a second surface. The panel is movable along a predetermined path relative to the first surface and the second surface. A first pin and a second pin are coupled to the panel. A first bottom face plate is positioned on a first side and defines a first slot. A second bottom face plate is positioned on a second side and defines a second slot. A first top face plate is positioned on the first side and defines a third slot. A second top face plate is positioned on the second side and defines a fourth slot. The first pin is movable in the first slot and the second slot, and the second pin is movable in the third slot and the fourth slot for guiding movement of the panel along the predetermined path.

This invention generally represents a folding and transforming furniture, such as a transforming tabletop and seating surface apparatus that stays clean and used indoors, outdoors, within vehicles, aircrafts, water vessels, for commercial and recreational purposes. The invention refers in particular to an automated assembly of folding tabletop surface, seating surfaces, covers, general frame and extension assembly embedded compactly within a substantially horizontal surface, and controlled by internet of things system, controllers and electrical circuits by receiving signals from embedded sensory equipment to activate electrically, pneumatically, hydraulically and gravity powered mechanisms.

A resilient platform assembly has a playing deck with horizontally disposed deck panels. Each deck panel has a pair of foot flanges on the bottom of the deck panels. Receiving shoes are attached to the deck panels and configured to receive the foot flanges of the deck panels. A transverse member, perpendicular to the horizontally disposed deck panels, includes a plurality of notches. Each notch is cut in the transverse member in a predetermined spacing pattern. The receiving shoes are installed in the notches and the deck panels are attached to the transverse member through the receiving shoes. Resilient mounts connect the transverse member to a support assembly and allow relative motion between the transverse member and the support assembly. The resilient mounts include a first spring capture assembly attached to the support assembly, a second spring capture assembly attached to the transverse members, and a plurality of springs disposed between the first spring capture assembly and the second spring capture assembly.

In some embodiments, a system includes a set of moulding sections, at least one electrical conductor affixed at least partially within one or more of the set of moulding sections, and one or more joints between various ones of the set of moulding sections. At least some of the one or more joints are arranged to preserve electrical conductivity, via the at least one electrical conductor, between the various ones of the set of moulding sections.
