Filed:

Aug 30, 2001

Appl. No.:

09/942889

Inventors:

Thomas Graham - Ocean NJ

Assignee:

Component Hardware Group, Inc. - Lakewood NJ

International Classification:

A47B 9100

US Classification:

2481888, 2481884, 248157, 248414

Abstract:

The leg support is constructed of a split plastic housing into which a tubular plastic foot is threaded. Metal sleeves of non-corrosive material are slidably mounted on each of the housing and foot to provide an aesthetic appearance. The internal thread on the housing is a buttress thread with a not quite perpendicular load receiving flank. The external buttress thread on the plastic foot has a mating upper flank. The leg support is able to withstand relatively heavy loads.

Inventors:

Thomas Graham - Ocean NJ, US
Martin P. Burns - Forked River NJ, US

Assignee:

Component Hardware Group, Inc. - Lakewood NJ

International Classification:

A47B091/06

US Classification:

16 42T, 16 19, 16 32, 16 38, 16 43, 403377

Abstract:

The caster leg assembly has a slidable collar mounted on a shank that is threaded onto a stud fixed within a hollow table leg. A resiliently deformable ring is positioned between a shoulder on the shank and an inwardly turned end of the leg. A locking nut is threaded onto a threaded portion of the collar to abut the inwardly turned end of the leg. After the shank has been adjusted along the length of the stud, the locking nut is threaded against the end of the leg to cause the collar to be drawn in a direction out of the leg thereby compressively deforming the ring to frictionally engage the collar and leg. This, in turn, locks the shank against rotation relative to the leg.

Inventors:

Thomas Graham - Ocean NJ, US

International Classification:

A47J 47/00
F24F 7/00

US Classification:

454173, 454358

Abstract:

The vent port employs a pair of mated housing parts that define a space for two criss-crossed flap valves. Each flap valve is formed of an aluminum bracket with an aperture for the passage of air and a silicone flap that closes over the aperture. The flap valves are oriented so that gravity enhances the closing of the flaps. Resistors are mounted on the brackets to heat the brackets at a low wattage.
