The desk may include different desk components to be used in the construction of a custom desk including drawers of various size, storage compartments of various size, various leg supports, and various desktop finishing surfaces which may removably attach to the fame using magnets. There may also be attachment frames and desktop surfaces of varying size, which can optionally be linked together to build desks of T and L shapes, among many numerous possibilities.

COUPLING SYSTEM AND CONSTRUCTION INCLUDING SAME
20210259408 · 2021-08-26 ·

The present application is directed to a shelving system having a coupling system comprising a tab coupler and a socket coupler, said tab coupler comprising a locking tab extending from a locking face along a locking axis and configured with a round, T-like sectioned shape; said socket coupler comprising a U-shaped locking socket projecting from a mounting face of the socket coupler along a coupler axis and configured with a U-shaped tab arresting groove; the coupling system is configurable between an unlocked position whereat the locking socket slidingly receives the locking tab so that the locking axis and the coupler axis coincide, and a locked position upon rotating one of the tab coupler and the socket coupler about the coinciding axes, entailing snugly arresting of the locking tab by the locking socket, preventing sliding displacement and axial displacement along the coinciding axes.

MAGNET, PIN, AND SPRING ASSISTED LOCKABLE HORIZONTALLY AND VERTICALLY ALIGNING ERGONOMIC NOVEL LATCH MECHANISMS
20210100363 · 2021-04-08 ·

A number of magnetically assisted latch mechanisms are presented, where the latching and unlatching action is done with reduced user effort, therefore promoting speed and efficiency without sacrificing the strength of the bond of the connected components. The latching mechanisms are designed to secure panels or other similar small and large mostly flat components. The latching method is done by a rotating component that takes all the separating load once rotated into the locked position. The rotatable lock, or hammer, is also locked itself into position to prevent accidental movement by the hammer.

Bed frame designed for quick assembly
10989240 · 2021-04-27 ·

The present invention is directed to a bed frame designed for quick assembly. In an exemplary embodiment, the invention may comprise a wire lattice that forms the support surface for a mattress and, if necessary, box springs. The wire lattice can be secured to a perimeter frame using brackets which hook onto the lattice and also attach to the sides of the frame. The bed frame may include vertical supports or legs that can be quickly attached to the frame. Each leg may include an attachment plate and a catch extending above the attachment plate. The leg can be secured to the bed frame by sliding the attachment plate into a receiver attached to the bed frame. As the attachment plate is being inserted, the catch may engage a series of corrugations formed in the receiver. The catch may press against a corrugation to lock the leg into the receiver.

The disclosed device is a connector that slides into a T-slot in a first panel, and a stepped slot in a second panel. The connector includes a perpendicular head to lock into the T-slot, and an upward protrusion to slide into the stepped slot. A protrusion locks into a depression with the stepped slot, locking the connector in place.

Furniture system

A furniture system has a longitudinally extending member (2), a component (4) comprising a mounting member (10) and a component mounting system for mounting the component (4) on the longitudinally extending member (2). The component mounting system includes a support member (7), a clamp member (11) and a fixing member (12). In use, the support member (7) is adapted to be located between the component (4) and the longitudinally extending member (2). The fixing member (12) extends through the clamp member (11) and the support member (7) to engage with the component mounting member (10). Engaging the fixing member (12) with the component mounting member (10) causes the clamp member (11) to engage with an engagement formation (24) on the longitudinally extending member (2) to clamp the support member (7) between the longitudinally extending member (2) and the component (4) to mount the component (4) on the longitudinally extending member (2).

Furniture snap connector
10920816 · 2021-02-16 ·

The present invention generally relates to an improved furniture connector designed to firmly attach two portions of furniture without the need for tools. The connector is designed to fit into a void within a first surface in much the same manner as a prior art cam connector. When a connector stud in a second surface is inserted into the improved furniture connector, a flexible tab accepts the stud and holds it firmly along a chamfered edge within the connector. Disassembly is then possible as the flexible tab can be released to remove the connector stud.

Overhead storage system and method
10905234 · 2021-02-02 ·

Free standing storage system for garage spaces and the like, without requiring any attachments, and no tools are required. The system includes positioning vertical supports, each having ends with extendable threaded footers that can vertically abut each support against both a floor and ceiling. Posts can have a generally rectangular configuration with two short spaces between two supports on a left side and right side, and two long spaces between the two supports (posts) between the left and right posts. Accessory bar(s) can be positioned between the left and right side pairs of vertical posts. Fasteners, can attach parts together. A pair of telescoping horizontal beams positioned between the left and right side posts. Shelves with wire racks or boars can be used with the horizontal beams.
