TURNBUCKLE FOR DISPLAY CARDS, SIGNS AND THE LIKE
A device according to the present invention having a turnbuckle for manually locking and unlocking a display holder used to display information on vehicles and on structures. The turnbuckle is paired with a base. The combination of the turnbuckle and the base are removably coupled with the display holder where the turnbuckles are turned to lock the display holder in place. The combination of the turnbuckle and the base provide for increased frictional stability of the turnbuckle and the display holder. The display holder provides a sleeve or surface upon which information may be placed in or printed upon. The combination of the turnbuckle, the base and the display holder provides for a fixture. The turnbuckle may be paired with multiple embodiments of the base, support multiple embodiments of the display holder, and incorporated in multiple embodiment of the fixture. A method of pairing the turnbuckle with the base is provided as well.

Connectors for collapsible bed frame and collapsible bed frame having same
Disclosed are connectors and collapsible bed frames. A collapsible bed frame includes lateral and longitudinal bar units. Between each of two adjacent lateral bar units, a first longitudinal bar unit is disposed at a first side of the collapsible bed frame and a second longitudinal bar unit is disposed at a second side of the collapsible bed frame. The first and second longitudinal bar units and the two adjacent lateral bar units are rotatably connected with each other by connectors that enable the collapsible bed frame to contract and expand while the lateral and longitudinal bar units are connected with each other.
CONNECTING ELEMENT FOR A PIECE OF FURNITURE, PLUG-IN SYSTEM COMPRISING SUCH A CONNECTING ELEMENT AND METHOD OF ASSEMBLING A PIECE OF FURNITURE
Connecting element for a piece of furniture for connecting a first furniture component, for example a side wall, to a second furniture component extending obliquely to the first furniture component, for example a shelf support or a shelf, without additional material-locking means and without additional fastening means, including: a first functional section for a first snap-in device which, in the assembled state, forms a first form-fit of the connecting element with the first furniture component, a second functional section for a second snap-in device which, in the assembled state, forms a second form fit of the connecting element with the second furniture component, a receiving area in which, in the assembled state, a section of the second furniture component is received, and a third functional section for a third snap-in device which, in the assembled state, forms a third form fit of the connecting element with a cladding element which covers the receiving area at least partially, preferably completely, towards a visible side of the piece of furniture, and/or a fourth functional section for a fourth snap-in device which, in the assembled state, fixes a rear wall of the piece of furniture.
Pedestal leg assembly
A pedestal leg assembly includes a pedestal leg and floor base. The leg includes a plurality of teeth near the bottom end of the leg and a connecting bolt in a threaded engagement with the bottom end of the leg. The floor base includes a recessed portion having a slot in its bottom surface to receive the bolt and a release mechanism configured to pivot between a lock position and a release position. In lock position the release mechanism engages at least one of the teeth to prevent rotation of the pedestal leg in at least one direction. When pivoted into release position, the release mechanism is moved away from engagement with the teeth to allow rotation of the pedestal leg in both clockwise and counterclockwise directions. The pedestal leg assembly may include a powered connection to receive input power and/or a communication signal at the floor base and transfer the power and communication signals to a supported table top surface.

Rotation joint structure with two-stage lock
A rotation joint structure includes a fixed joint, a movable joint, a first limit member, and a second limit member. The fixed base has a locking groove. The movable joint is pivotally connected with the fixed joint. The movable joint has a first slideway and a second slideway connected to each other. The first limit member is movably mounted in the first slideway. The second limit member is movably mounted in the second slideway. When the second limit member is locked in the locking groove, and the first limit member stops the second limit member, the movable joint is locked and cannot be rotated. Thus, the movable joint is disposed at a two-stage locking state.

SEALING CORNER BRACKET FOR RECEIVING TWO FRAME MEMBERS AND CABINET INCLUDING CORNER BRACKET
A corner bracket may include first and second retainers configured to receive respective ends of first and second frame members, such that the first and second frame members are substantially perpendicular with respect to one another. The first and second retainers may include structural and sealing portions, wherein the structural portion includes a first material and the sealing portion includes a second material, with the first material being relatively more rigid than the second material, and the second material being relatively more elastic than the first material. The corner bracket may also include first and second exterior surfaces at least partially including the second material and first and second door panel interfaces configured to provide a seal between the first and second exterior surfaces and interior surfaces of first and second door panels in a closed position. The corner bracket may be incorporated into a frame for a cabinet.
