The connection group and the blocking group can be actuated from the front with respect to the furniture, the front and rear foot units being positioned beneath the bottom and facing the shoulder, and the bottom and the shoulder not resting on the floor. The front and rear foot units are disposed in an identical body for both the front and the rear foot units, and actuation rods of the joining device are arranged in the rear foot unit and positioned between the front and the rear foot units.

METHOD FOR ESTABLISHING A SIGNAL INDICATIVE OF THE PRESSURE-CONDITION IN THE AS CONTACT-SURFACE BEFITTED RUBBER-ELASTIC BODY OF A MACHINE FOOT, AS WELL AS MACHINE FOOT WITH HYDROSTATIC PRESSURE SENSOR
20200355562 · 2020-11-12 ·

The invention relates to a method for the establishment of a signal which is indicative of the pressure-condition of a machine foot, as a fixed surface of a rubber-elastic body, where a load of the machine foot is transferred from a cap to a substrate through the rubber-elastic body, which is pressurised by the increasing load, such that the distance between a free upper surface part of the rubber-elastic body and an immobile part is determined by an electro-mechanical transducer establishing an electrical signal corresponding to the distance which is used as the measurement for the rubber-elastic body's pressure-condition and thus the machine foot's load.

HEIGHT ADJUSTED SEISMIC BASE ISOLATION SYSTEM
20200315350 · 2020-10-08 ·

A seismic isolation system includes at least one adjustable foot attached to a container. The at least one adjustable foot has a height at least sufficient to support the container such that the container does not touch a surface on which the container rests. The seismic isolation system further includes a sliding pad affixed to a portion of the at least one adjustable foot facing the surface. The sliding pad is configured to provide a coefficient of static and kinetic friction between the sliding pad and the surface that prevents relative movement of the sliding pad and the surface in normal operation and allows the sliding pad to move relative to the surface during a seismic event.

Modular cabinet with hidden clamping system
10786076 · 2020-09-29 ·

The present invention includes a system for quickly and simply manufacturing semi-custom cabinetry utilizing a hidden pin joining system. The hidden pin joining system allows panels of the cabinet to quickly and securely join together, with significant load bearing ability. The different joining pin designs allow for different ways of discretely joining pieces together to create custom cabinetry during installation. The specially designed drill bits allow the system to work seamlessly. Using CAD/CAM machinery, the drill bits can cut stock pieces that can be taken to installation sites, and formed into custom cabinetry for kitchen, closets, or any other desired shelving units.

Seismic baseplate

A mount may include a base having a socket. A leveler may be positioned within the socket and may be configured to be adjustably engaged to one of a plurality of posts of a shelving system. A fastener may secure the leveler to the socket. The leveler may be adjusted to change the height of the post in relation to other of the plurality of posts in the shelving system, and thereby level the shelving system.

The Portable, Collapsible, Free-Standing Bar is an improved portable and compact free-standing bar. Its distinctive features include its ease of assembly, stability, well-crafted finished-wood appearance, collapsible design, compact storage, and ease of transport and shipping. It can be assembled easily without tools, and is designed meticulously to minimize weight, maximize stability and portability, and minimize the space that it occupies when collapsed and stored. These user-friendly features make the bar a useful contribution to an improved social experience in many venues, including weddings, tailgate parties, etc. The bar design is comprised of a bartop formed by a plurality of selectively adjoining bartop pieces and a plurality of frames pivotally interlocked by at least one hinge, which allow the bar to be collapsed into a space-efficient unit on wheels for storage, transport, or shipping. The bar can be alternately be assembled in an open position for using the bar and disassembled to a closed position for transporting or storing the bar, wherein in the closed position the bartop pieces are nested within the frames, and wherein said frames are collapsed to a compact folded configuration forming a parallelepiped. Another aspect of the bar's design is a swivel footing rotatably attached to a base support of each frame that adds significant stability to the bar when in the open position without adding to the width, or overall size of the collapsed bar is the closed position.
