48 Composite assembly of interconnectable furniture US11059211 2005-02-15 US07347493B2 2008-03-25 Theresa A. Mulmed
A composite assembly of furniture units each have a solo utilization, which can be seating surface area or table top surface area. The furniture units are made with an irregular contoured surface. When the irregular surface of a first furniture unit is brought in proximity to the irregular surface of a second furniture unit, the composite assembly assumes a joint utilization which differentiates from the solo utilization of the furniture units. The joint utilization of the composite assembly enlarges seating surface area or the table top surface area over the solo utilization. The furniture units are versatile because each can be used in its solo configuration or combined into the composite assembly for other uses. A mechanical coupling mechanism is used to secure the furniture units in the composite assembly configuration. The mechanical coupling can be a latch, magnetic plate, bracket, or rod.

55 Modular construction member US644541 1996-05-10 US5775046A 1998-07-07 David J. Fanger; Richard E. Seubert; Byungho Han; Darcy M. Ytterdahl; O. John Bourg, III
Construction member panels have an array of engaging elements and cooperating receiving spaces, such as dovetails and dovetail shaped keyways. The engaging elements are relatively closely spaced such that a pair of such panels can be meshed together, and will be locked against motion in two directions. The construction member panels can be used alone, with one planar member being fixed to a support and the other to an item to be supported, or they can be connected to each other to form units, such as L-shaped units, U-shaped units, or rectangular parallelepiped boxes. Shapes other than dovetails can also be used. Specially located engaging elements along the length of construction members, or the sides of the units made therefrom allow mated construction members to be translated relative to each other as desired, even if one construction member is mated with and bridges across two facing construction members, thus exhibiting translational symmetry. The special locations and shapes of engaging elements at the ends of the construction members also facilitates the rotation in place of any units made from a plurality of construction members, thus exhibiting rotational symmetry. Typically, all or a portion of an engaging element at one end of a construction member is removed, while the location of the full engaging element at the other end, is specially controlled.

57 Interlocking modular product delivery system US197406 1994-02-16 US5597114A 1997-01-28 Armand J. Kramedjian; Terrance F. O'Brien
A product display and delivery system comprising modular, disposable, product-filled cartridges fitted with a plurality of external fastener devices, positioned in a unique arrangement, which enables the cartridges to be releasably joined in a plurality of different orientations relative to one another, including orientations in which a cartridge is rotated 180 degrees relative to the other cartridges of the product display. The positioning of the fastener devices also enables the releasable joining of cartridges having different depths and the releasable joining of cartridges to a stabilizing system which extends beneath a first row of cartridges to reduce movement of the cartridges relative to a surface on which the cartridges rest. In accordance with a preferred apparatus, each cartridge is created from two elongated, rectangular, interlocking sleeves positioned with the first sleeve residing inside the second sleeve. A plurality of hook and loop type fastener devices are affixed to the outer surface of each cartridge and overlap cartridge edges which are defined by a cartridge's adjoining wall segments. The fastener devices are positioned along each edge at a distance measured from each cartridge's front panel and are arranged so that fastener devices of different sexes are opposite one another along edges partially defined by a common adjoining wall segment. In accordance with a preferred method, a plurality of cartridges are pressed together to releasably engage the opposite-sex fastener devices of adjacent cartridges to create a desired modular orientation of cartridges which may, subsequently, be rearranged in a different orientation.
