A control structure device for racks or buildings. The device is able to limit forces developed within itself or a structure (e.g. building or storage rack) it connects with and is seismically supportive of as it endures ground or base motion input from a seismic event. The control structure may comprise a relatively inflexible rocker frame which is pivotably connected to a foundation. Rotation of the rocker frame causes a flexural member to flexurally displace to limit force and energy in the system.

A telescopic leg and method of assembly for the telescopic leg, which is generally configured to raise and lower a work surface while supporting it. The telescopic leg includes at least two segments, one of which includes a visible cap through which one of the segments is inserted to trim an opening that matches the profile of the segment doing the trimming and can create an interference fit.

An earthquake force limiter and energy dissipater for racks or buildings. The device allowing stable yielding action of a flexure plate to enable control structures or standard structural frames to form a stable cycling high displacement elasto-plastic mechanism in resistive response to a seismic ground motion input. The stable flexural yielding of the plates limits the magnitude of in forces developed within the control structure of which the plates are part of; or within a standard structural frame found in racking structures or general building structures, which the plate is typically directly supportive of. The design reduces prying action or tensile or compressive membrane forces developing in a plate of the device; so that the plate can maintain a stable constant resistive force while yielding to high transverse displacements.

A compact front adjustment system for leveling feet for furniture (M) with a bottom (12) and shoulders (11), comprising: at least two front feet, a right foot (13d) and a left foot (13s) and at least two rear feet, a right foot (14d) and a left foot (14s), wherein each of said rear feet (14d,14s) comprises an adjustment mechanism in height, which is accessible from outside the foot through respective holes (21d,21s) and which can be maneuvered by means of a maneuvering tool (18). According to the invention, a respective supporting and guiding unit (17d,17s; 22;25) for said maneuvering tool (18) is provided in combination with said rear feet (14d,14s), said unit being assembled on said bottom (12) of the furniture (M) in an intermediate position between said front feet (13d,13s) according to an axis X which is aligned with said holes (21d,21s) for access to the adjustment mechanism in height of the respective rear foot (14d,14s).

A storage furniture assembly comprises a first furniture frame panel (10a) extending in a first frame panel plane (P1), a second furniture frame panel (10b) configured to be connected in a fixed relationship to the first furniture frame panel (10a) to extend in a second frame panel plane (P2) at an angle to the first frame panel plane (P1), and a furniture foot assembly comprising a set of furniture feet (26), wherein said first furniture frame panel (10a) is provided With a first set of furniture foot attachment interfaces for attaching said set of furniture feet, and said second furniture frame panel (10b) is provided With a second set of furniture foot attachment interfaces for attaching said set of furniture feet (26), thereby enabling the furniture feet (26) to be attached to either of the first furniture frame panel (10a) and the second furniture frame panel (10b).

A modular desk system may include a plurality of configurable components including, for example, a top panel, an all-purpose hook, a cup hook, a storage shelf, a connecting shelf, a connecting planter box, a connecting divider, a connecting platform, a desktop organization member, a channel, a kickstand base, and/or a support frame. The components may be configured and/or reconfigured to create a desk. The configuration assemblies of the modular desk system may be paired with and coupled to other desk units and/or furniture.

A racking system is described. It includes, for example, a racking unit for holding goods thereon. The racking unit includes at least one leg. The system can include at least one protective shroud. Each protective shroud is arranged to least partially encircle a portion the racking unit leg. The protective shroud is arranged to be rotatable about the racking unit leg.
