Cabinet assembly
A cabinet assembly including a first frame having a first open channel, a second frame spaced from the first frame with the second frame having a second open channel, and a plurality of beams extending between the first and second frames and interlocking to each of the first and second frames. Each of the beams include a bottom side, a top side opposite the bottom side, and a pair of opposing recessed portions extending from the top and bottom sides. Each of the recessed portions has an upper surface and a lower surface with the upper surface being disposed below the top side. A portion of the bottom side and the entire recessed portion is disposed within the first open channel. The top side is disposed outside the first open channel to interlock the beam to the first and second frames.
Modular structure for cardboard tower-like displays
The invention relates to a modular structure for a cardboard tower-like display, made up of shelf modules (a) each of which is made up of a cardboard sheet with a four-sided central area (10) whose corners form incoming vertexes (12) and whose sides are folding and flapping lines with respective flaps thereof; together with straight tubes which feature stud modules (b), with the same cross section than the perimeter tubular edges (11) of each shelf module (a), and connecting elements in the shape of corner studs (c), each of which has a central part (30) with arms (31), (32) and (33) projected into three orthogonal spatial directions which fit into the concurrent ends of the tubular edges (11) of each shelf module (a), and the ends corresponding to the tubes which constitute the stud modules (b).
Tubular Framing System and Method
A Tubular Framing System and Method. The system and method enables users to create structures from tube stock, such as carbon fiber or other composites without the need for a specialized workspace or customized tooling. The system allows the user to create joints, attachment points and mounting points for tubular and sheet composite material. When assembled, the joints between tubular segments and the attached termination fittings provide unparalleled tensile strength without the need for adhesives or special testing for verification. The system includes base assemblies, mid-span bracket and mounting assemblies and a wide range of versatile connectors that can provide the user with the flexibility to easily and rapidly create a wide variety of structures from strong and lightweight composite tube stock and aircraft-grade aluminum connectors.
SEALING CORNER BRACKET FOR RECEIVING TWO FRAME MEMBERS AND CABINET INCLUDING CORNER BRACKET
A corner bracket may include first and second retainers configured to receive respective ends of first and second frame members, such that the first and second frame members are substantially perpendicular with respect to one another. The first and second retainers may include structural and sealing portions, wherein the structural portion includes a first material and the sealing portion includes a second material, with the first material being relatively more rigid than the second material, and the second material being relatively more elastic than the first material. The corner bracket may also include first and second exterior surfaces at least partially including the second material and first and second door panel interfaces configured to provide a seal between the first and second exterior surfaces and interior surfaces of first and second door panels in a closed position. The corner bracket may be incorporated into a frame for a cabinet.
STRUCTURAL CONNECTOR AND STRUCTURAL SYSTEM
A structural connector for assembling a plurality of structural members includes a main shank, a first bolt extending though the main shank, a first plug threadedly engaging a first blot shaft of the first bolt, a second bolt extending through the main shank and the first bolt shaft, and a second plug threadedly engaging a second bolt shaft of the second bolt. Each of two shank ends of the main shank, a first bolt head of the first bolt, a first plug head of the first plug, a second bolt head of the second bolt, and a second plug head of the second plug is configured to threadedly engage a structural connecting end of each of the structural members.
Modular frame
A modular frame comprising a connector (3), a first frame member (1, 2) and a second frame member (1, 2), wherein the first frame member (1, 2) comprises one or more engagement members (5, 7) profiled to key with a first slot (6) on the connector (3) and a second slot (8) on the second frame member (1, 2).
Modular Structural Support Apparatus and Method of Constructing the Same
A modular structural support system, comprising: a plurality of vertically disposed frame support beams, a plurality of horizontally disposed frame support beams, a plurality of fastener devices, fastener devices rigidly connected to the ends of the horizontally disposed support beams and rotatably and selectively lockingly attachable to one of the vertically disposed support beams.
Display Stand
A portable and self stabilizing stand which can display a wide array of objects and which can be expanded or contracted by the user to accommodate a large array of object types and sizes. The stand is easily assembled and disassembled without requiring specialized or generic tools or fasteners.
Coupling system and construction including same
A 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.
MODULAR STORAGE AND WORK STATION
A connector for connecting discrete modular storage units defined by plural hollow elongate support members having longitudinal ends including apertures into which vertical connection members can be inserted to connect adjacent modules. The inserts may be of a predetermined length to connect two horizontally adjacent modules or a length twice the predetermined length to connect two horizontally adjacent modules. For vertically and horizontally connected modules, the inventive connector may be utilized to connect modular shelving units having both an in-line and perpendicular configuration. The connector ideally comprises two identical insert members joined to each other in a desired orientation, so that the modules can be connected in different configurations, whether in-line, staggered or perpendicularly. The inventive connector also vertically connects the horizontally configured shelving modules to a variety of vertically disposed and configured shelving module units in a desired configuration. The connectors can be used to provide for an end connection at a top or bottom of the configuration in a dual insert connector, enabling a tab member to engage onto and retain an adjacent hollow tubular member or, in a single insert embodiment, to provide for insertion of a caster for resting on a floor.
