An apparatus and method for easily and permanently leveling an appliance is described. The apparatus involves a modification to the appliance to support shims, and preferably the two-part adjustable leveling shims. Alternatively, a template for affixing two-part adjustable leveling shims is used between the appliance and the mounting surface.

A household appliance (1) has a housing (2), a treatment chamber (3), a door (4), and a securing device (5). The securing device (5) includes a first fastening device with a first holding element (10) in the bottom section (8) of the housing (2), and a second fastening device (7) including a second holding element (11), which can essentially be firmly connected to an installation location (12) of the housing (2). The first (6) and the second (7) fastening device are suitable for and configured to establish an operative connection to each other by coupling the first (10) and the second holding element (11). A holding device (9) associated with the first fastening device (6) on the housing (2) includes a guide (23) for guiding the first fastening device (6) into operative connection with the second fastening device (7) even after positioning the household appliance in the installation location.

Described are seat track fittings (100) with a stud (102) having a spacer (104) separated from a lower flange (106), and a locking mechanism (110). The locking mechanism includes an elastic fitting (112) having an upper arm (116a) and a lower arm (116b) connected by a resilient member (120). An end of the upper arm and an end the lower arm are coupled to the stud, with the end of the upper arm positioned above the spacer, and the end of the lower arm positioned above the lower flange. An activation mechanism (114) is coupled to the elastic fitting to transition the seat track fitting between unloaded, unlocked, and locked positions.

An anti-topple device for preventing a cabinet from swaying or falling over includes a pedestal, a screw, a first adjusting member, a second adjusting member, and a connecting member. The pedestal is fixed on the floor and the screw is fixed to the pedestal. The first adjusting member and the second adjusting member are slidably mounted on the screw and the connecting member to make the cabinet height adjustable. The connecting member secures onto the two beams of the cabinet positioned at the bottom of the cabinet to hold the cabinet firmly against the floor. The two beams flank the screw on opposite sides to firmly fix the cabinet to the floor.

A desk apparatus is provided with a pair of leg members, each having two main leg member parts that are installed on a floor surface and extend in a vertical direction and that are connected to each other by means of a crosspiece portion at upper portions of the main leg member parts, and a pair of inner connecting rods and a pair of outer connecting rods that extend along a width direction and connect the upper portions of the pair of leg members. The inner connecting rods are connected together by bridge members so as to constitute connecting units. The connecting units are attachable to and detachable from a top plate support, and a first top plate unit is attachable to and detachable from the top plate support. This allows for the provision of a desk apparatus in which the first top plate unit and the connecting units are replaceable with different top plate units and different connecting units, and the aspects of the desk apparatus can be changed in accordance with a user's demands by keeping replacement of members to a necessary minimum.
