A doubling-up fitting includes an expansion sleeve which has a sleeve base with a sleeve base opening and has at least one expansion tab which can be spread radially outward. An inner ring is axially displaceable in the expansion sleeve towards the sleeve base in a tightening direction in order to spread the at least one expansion tab radially outward. A threaded bolt with a screw thread and with a bolt head engages behind the inner ring in the tightening direction. A threaded part has a widened head and can be screwed to the screw thread of the threaded bolt. The opening diameter of the sleeve base opening and the clear opening diameter of the inner ring are each greater than the bolt diameter of the threaded bolt.

A seating furniture with a base member, an armrest member and first and second mounting devices that fix the armrest member to the base member in a horizontal direction. The first mounting device is slidable in parallel to an inner surface of the armrest member between an upper position and a lower position. When positioned in the upper position, an angled part of the first mounting device is rotatable relative to the armrest member between a locking position and a release position. In the locking position a first flange portion of the first mounting device is positioned such that an upper edge of the base member may be received into a gap between the first flange portion and the inner surface of the armrest member, whereas in the release position the first flange portion is positioned to release the upper edge of the base member from the gap.

A motion control and lock mechanism for wooden furniture such as a climbing triangle is provided. The lock mechanism provides secure stop against further motion and holds the furniture in the open or closed position. The lock mechanism is easily fabricated with a CNC router while cutting plywood furniture panels.

An adjustable height desk is disclosed herein that is configured for easy assembly and disassembly. The desk includes panels joined to form a support core for supporting a working surface. The desk also includes a planar base that is easily attached to and removed from the support core by way of protrusions on panels of the support core. The protrusions have locking holes formed therein. Through holes in the base receive the protrusions. Locking pins are inserted through the locking holes to form a compression fit. The locking pins can be sized for movement through a locking hole and for creating a compression fit when inserted into a locking hole. One end of the locking pins can be configured with a hook portion for mating with a locking pin insertion/removal tool. The tool can be utilized to insert and remove the locking pins.

A self-bracing, two-way moment frame precast system for industrial support structure and method of erecting a precast industrial support structure without temporary or permanent bracing or shoring are disclosed. This is accomplished by utilizing a moment frame element in two directions to create free standing tower that requires no bracing during erection or in service. The system also utilizes a connection that allows the erection crane to achieve alignment during erection such that the entire system can be erected by a ground based personnel.
