Modular cabinet assembly
A modular cabinet assembly has at least a first sub-cabinet and a second sub-cabinet. Each sub-cabinet includes a back board having at least two separate back board pieces that are pivotably connected to each other, a left side board pivotably connected to one of the at least two back board pieces, and a right side board pivotably connected to another of the at least two back board pieces. At least one shelf board having opposite ends is removably connected to the left side board and the right side board of either the first sub-cabinet or the second sub-cabinet. A first end board is connected to either an upper end of the first sub-cabinet or a lower end of the second sub-cabinet. A first connector removably connects the left side boards of the first and second sub-cabinets, and a second connector removably connects the right side boards of the first and second sub-cabinets.
PLAYLESS HINGE SYSTEM WITH RELEASABLE HINGE PIN
A hinge assembly suppressing periodic motions and abrasive wear that supports an axial load and integrated a releasable hinge pin with retractable latch pins. The connector arms for the hinge assembly may include bearings, smooth outer surfaces, and tight fittings to help suppress the periodic motions and abrasive wear. Adjustable mounting apertures reduce stress on the hinge system. A hinge aperture for each member enables an axial load arm, such as thrust bearings, to pass through for reducing periodic movements during pivotal operation. A lock arm can also pass through the hinge apertures. The lock arm uses a locking pin to fasten the members together. A smooth outer surface inhibits abrasive wear and creates a smooth pivoting motion. Non-circular mounting apertures may enable adjustable mounting for reducing stress on the system.

Each sub-cabinet includes a back board having at least two separate back board pieces that are pivotably connected to each other, a left side board pivotably connected to one of the at least two back board pieces, and a right side board pivotably connected to another of the at least two back board pieces. At least one shelf board having opposite ends is removably connected to the left side board and the right side board of either the first sub-cabinet or the second sub-cabinet. A first end board is connected to either an upper end of the first sub-cabinet or a lower end of the second sub-cabinet. A first connector removably connects the left side boards of the first and second sub-cabinets, and a second connector removably connects the right side boards of the first and second sub-cabinets.
Closet add-on armoire conversion system
A closet door-to armoire conversion has a panel with the depth being at least six inches, height being greater than a height of the closet entrance. A plurality of shelf mounting holes is disposed on lateral sides of the panel. At least a shelf and a hanging rod is interior to the panel. Rollers are attached to the panel bottom, supporting and permitting rolling of the panel(s) from the closet entrance. A handle or gripping area is on the front face of a panel and a plurality of hinges are attached to the interior side of the closet armoire and to the closet door jam side. The hinges allow an attached panel to move away from and pivot from the same side of the closet entrance, wherein the width and height of the closet armoire is wider and taller than the closet entrance so as to cover the closet entrance.

Hinge, in particular for a piece of furniture
A hinge, in particular for a piece of furniture, comprises an inner hinge portion that can be attached to the furniture carcass or to a door hinged to the carcass, an outer hinge portion that can be attached to an outer door, a connecting device that connects the inner hinge portion to the outer hinge portion so that they can pivot relative to each other by three receiving members. The inner hinge portion has a main body that can be attached to the furniture carcass or to a door hinged to the furniture carcass. A lower receiving member is movable, preferably slidable, relative to an upper receiving member which is mounted, preferably rigidly, on the main body.
FITTING FOR MOVABLY MOUNTING A PIVOTING ELEMENT
A fitting such as a hinge can movably support a pivoting element relative to a stationary carrier. The fitting includes a first fitting portion to be fixed to a carrier, a second fitting portion configured to be fixed to the pivoting element, and a hinge lever pivotally supported about a hinge axis. The hinge lever hingedly connects the first fitting portion and the second fitting portion to each other. A spring device can move the first and second fitting portions into a closed position and/or into an open position relative to each other. A portion, preferably an end portion, of the spring device is supported on a support element, and the support element supporting the spring device is rotationally mounted, preferably on the hinge lever.
TABLE TOP AND SKIRT WITH FOLDABLE LEGS
A foldable table and table legs comprises a tabletop comprising a plurality of tabletop sections each of which are interconnected by a hinge mechanism allowing the tabletop fold into a small, compact package. Detachable and foldable legs are configured for coupling to a table skirt comprising four segments which fold down from a storage pocket on the underside of the tabletop. The foldable legs interconnect with the table skirt once it is folded down from its storage position. The tabletop and foldable legs may all be folded into a compact, portable and packable configuration.
QUICK ASSEMBLY FURNITURE
A kit is provided that, when assembled, forms a unit of furniture. The kit includes side panels that can rotate about the z axis along the hinge and which have one or more support surfaces to support a base panel. A top panel is connected to the side panels and back panel by a plurality of position members. The kit comprises a plurality of flexible fasteners to reverse-ably lock the side panels to the base panel and to lock the side panels to the top panel and restrict the side panels from z-axis rotation and restrict the base panel and top panel from y-axis rotation. Also provided are methods of assembling and manufacturing the unit of furniture.
Door for a refrigerated merchandiser
A door for a refrigerated merchandiser including a case defining a product display area. The door includes a door frame that is attachable to the case, and a glass panel assembly that is coupled to the door frame. The glass panel assembly includes a first glass panel and a second glass panel that is spaced apart from the first glass panel by a gap. The glass panel assembly further includes a conductive coating that is applied to the first glass panel, and a heater element that is coupled to the first glass panel and that is in electrical communication with the conductive coating. The door also includes a connector that extends through the first glass panel and the second glass panel and securable to the glass panel assembly, and the connector is configured to electrically connect the heater element to a power source.
