Filed:

May 5, 2000

Appl. No.:

09/566212

Inventors:

John E. Larson - Hamilton MT 59840
Wayne R. Veltri - Stevensville MT 59870

International Classification:

F16M 1126

US Classification:

2481885, 248161, 248599

Abstract:

The present invention is a height adjustable pedestal having a gas spring which is easily separated from a furniture component support. The height adjustable pedestal of the present invention can be used in chairs and table. The present invention also provides a method of releasing the tapered upper section of the gas spring from the socket in which it is retained. The method involves no impact forces. The pry lever can be used to apply a force directly on the top of the gas spring cylinder. The invention allows the gas spring to be released simply without the possibility of damage to the gas spring, or other chair component.

John Larson - Hamilton MT, US

International Classification:

F16M 11/26
A47B 9/00

US Classification:

2481885, 248404, 108147

Abstract:

Easy to assemble and disassemble tables have continuous frame members with at least two tapered sockets which support table legs. The continuous frame members are identical and thus can be used interchangeably as table bases and table top supports. The center of each taper within the continuous frame member is in the same position. Tapered sockets within each frame member insure that legs inserted into those sockets are parallel to one another. The parallelity of the table legs is further enhanced by inserting the other end of the table leg into a corresponding frame member in which the tapers are identically spaced. The tables are easy to assemble by inserting the tapered table legs into the “self-holding” tapered sockets in the frame members. Easy disassembly of the tables is facilitated by quick release mechanisms which press the end of the leg seated in the socket to displace the leg from the socket.

Inventors:

John E. Larson - Hamilton MT, US

International Classification:

A87B 9/00

US Classification:

108147, 108150, 248404, 248161

Abstract:

A height adjustable structure comprises a base, a height adjustment column disposed above the base and supported thereon, and a table top or chair seat support disposed above the height adjustment column. Alternatively the height adjustable structure comprises two or more base sections, a height adjustment column disposed above each base section and supported thereon, and a table top or chair seat support disposed above the height adjustment columns. Each height adjustment column comprises a telescoping spring height adjustment lifting mechanism. The telescoping spring height adjustment lifting mechanism is typically a gas spring. Actuation mechanisms which actuate or unlock each lockable telescoping spring height adjustment lifting mechanism are used to allow the user to easily make height adjustments. The actuation mechanisms may extend above the table top. Connecting bars may be used to connect more than one actuation mechanism.

Abstract:

A wheel work chair has all the attributes and style of an office chair but is equipped with wheelchair-type supporting wheels The chair is height adjustable with the upper portion of the chair moving relative to the lower portion of the chair. Wheels connected to the upper portion of the chair move with the chair seat as the height of the chair is adjusted. Wheels connected to the lower portion of the chair remain on the ground as the height of the chair is adjusted. A static surface is provided on the arm of a height adjustable chair to support the weight of a user while that chair is being raised.

Appl. No.:

10/005002

Inventors:

John Larson - Hamilton MT, US

International Classification:

F16M011/20
A47G029/00
A47B009/00

US Classification:

248/188100, 248/188500, 248/371000, 108/147000

Abstract:

A height adjustable pedestal having two or more height adjustable telescoping columns can be raised or lowered freely without binding. The telescoping columns engage a furniture component through at least two pivots and at least one slider. Pivotal and sliding engagement of the furniture component with the telescoping columns allows the furniture component to slide and pivot freely over the column precluding axial misalignment of the telescoping members of the columns due to non-parallelity between columns, or misalignment caused by columns moving at disparate speeds. Engagement of the furniture component in this manner also allows the telescoping columns to be adjusted independently of one another providing, for example, a tiltable table top or chair seat. Further, the table to or chair seat can slide in relationship to the height adjustable telescoping columns.
