Abstract
A modular furniture assembly includes at least one first component and a second component. The second component includes a cavity. The at least one first component and the second component are adaptable to be stowed in a compact stowed position such that the modular furniture assembly forms a geometric shape when in the stowed position. A method for forming a furniture assembly is also disclosed. It is emphasized that this abstract is provided to comply with the rules requiring an abstract that will allow a searcher or other reader to quickly ascertain the subject matter of the technical disclosure. It is submitted with the understanding that it will not be used to interpret or limit the scope or meaning of the claims.
Claims6
A modular furniture assembly, comprising:
- at least one chair capable of being folded into a closed position, and
- a table including a cavity,
- wherein the at least one chair is deployed from the closed position to an open position by unfolding the at least one chair;
- wherein the table is stowed within an opening formed by the at least one chair when the at least one chair is in the closed position such that the modular furniture assembly forms a geometric shape when the table is stowed within the opening formed by the at least one chair;
- a locking mechanism for locking the chair in the closed position;
- and
- wherein the locking mechanism prevents pivotal movement of one of a back and a leg of the chair when unfolding the chair from the closed position to the open position.
A modular furniture assembly, comprising:
- at least one chair capable of being folded into a closed position, and
- a table including a cavity,
- wherein the at least one chair is deployed from the closed position to an open position by unfolding the at least one chair;
- wherein the table is stowed within an opening formed by the at least one chair when the at least one chair is in the closed position such that the modular furniture assembly forms a geometric shape when the table is stowed within the opening formed by the at least one chair;
- and
- wherein the chair includes a rear leg having a lip portion, wherein the lip portion extends past a plane defined by a top surface of a seat to prevent a back from pivoting past a predetermined angle with respect to the seat.
