Abstract
Example composite material devices, apparatus, articles of manufacture, and methods of manufacture are disclosed. An example adjustable stabilizer bar includes: a first segment having a first end and a second end; a second segment having a first end and a second end, the first end of the second segment to at least partially overlap the second end of the first segment; an attachment mechanism to position the second segment with respect to the first segment; a first clamping portion at the first end of the first segment to removably affix the first segment to a first furniture element; and a second clamping portion at the second end of the second segment to removably affix the second segment to a second furniture element.
Claims18
An adjustable stabilizer bar to restrict motion in furniture, the furniture having a first furniture element and a second furniture element, the first furniture element spaced apart from the second furniture element, the adjustable stabilizer bar comprising:
- a first segment having a first end and a second end;
- a second segment having a first end and a second end, the first end of the second segment to at least partially overlap the second end of the first segment;
- an attachment mechanism extending through the first end of the first segment and through the second end of the second segment to adjustably lock the at least partially overlapped position of the second segment with respect to the first segment;
- a first clamping portion at the first end of the first segment to removably affix the first segment to the first furniture element;
- and
- a second clamping portion at the second end of the second segment to removably affix the second segment to the second furniture element,
- wherein at least one of the first clamping portion or the second clamping portion is formed by attaching a U-shaped piece to at least one of the first end of the first segment or the second end of the second segment to interact with at least one bolt and a plate.
A method of manufacturing an adjustable stabilizer bar to restrict motion in furniture, the furniture having a first furniture element and a second furniture element, the first furniture element spaced apart from the second furniture element, the method comprising:
- forming a first segment having a first end and a second end;
- forming a second segment having a first end and a second end, the first end of the second segment to at least partially overlap the second end of the first segment;
- positioning the second segment with respect to the first segment with an attachment mechanism, the attachment mechanism extending through the first end of the first segment and through the second end of the second segment to adjustably lock the at least partially overlapped position of the second segment with respect to the first segment;
- forming a first clamping portion at the first end of the first segment to removably affix the first segment to the first furniture element;
- and
- forming a second clamping portion at the second end of the second segment to removably affix the second segment to the second furniture element.
