7/583037

Inventors:

Joseph A. Maxwell - Burnsville NC

International Classification:

A47C 1500

US Classification:

297244

Abstract:

A seating cluster for airport and similar seating areas, comprising a table positioned on a supporting surface, with six seats attached to and supported by the table adjacent each other in spaced-apart relation above the supporting surface. Each of the seats have a seat bottom having a front edge, opposed sides and a seat back. Each of the six seats are attached to the table with the front of its seat bottom positioned at an oblique angle to the front of a seat bottom of a first adjacent seat whereby each seat and its respective first adjacent seat are angled slightly to each other to facilitate conversation by occupants. Each of the six seats are positioned seat back-to-seat back with a second adjacent seat whereby occupants of each seat and the second adjacent seat are seated substantially back-to-back.

Abstract:

A sled having a planar platform with tubular runners mounted for pivoting and sliding at points fore and aft of the platform. Because the runners can pivot and slide at the fore and aft points, the entire length of the runner can be bowed for increased maneuverability. The runners are of low friction plastic tubing for speed and are mounted by means of clips which allow for sliding, pivoting, and easy replacement of the runners.

International Classification:

A47C 1500

US Classification:

297244

Abstract:

A seating cluster for airport and similar seating areas which includes a table for being positioned on a supporting surface, and eight seats attached to and supported by the table in spaced-apart relation to each other about the perimeter of the table in spaced-apart relation above the supporting surface thereby by defining a luggage storage area underneath the seat bottom. Each of the seats has a seat bottom having a front edge, opposed sides and a seat back. Each of the eight seats is attached to the table adjacent its respective inner side with the front of their respective seat bottoms positioned at an obtuse angle to the front of a seat bottom of a side adjacent seat whereby each seat and its respective side adjacent seat is angled slightly to each other to facilitate conversation by occupants.

Abstract:

An expansion joint for joining first and second adjacent segments of direct glue down carpet mounted on respective underlying adjacent first and second floor segments. A first subchannel is mounted in the first floor segment along a joint line of the adjacent first and second carpet segments and a second subchannel is mounted in the second floor segment along the joint line of the adjacent first and second carpet segments in parallel relative moveable relation to the first subchannel. A first cover supports the first of the carpet segments on the first subchannel and a second cover supports the other of the adjacent carpet segments on the second subchannel. A tension bar is positioned in the second subchannel for movement to and from the first subchannel, the tension bar for holding the free edge of the first carpet segment under tension during relative movement between the first and second subchannels thereby allowing expansion and contraction of the adjacent first and second floor segments without stretching or buckling of the overlying direct glue down carpet segments.
