Mounting platform for modular furniture assembly
DCFirst Claim
1. A modular furniture assembly comprising:
- a base member having a frame assembly; and
a transverse member having a height that is substantially greater than the height of the base member, the transverse member having a frame assembly;
a foot configured to contact a support surface; and
a mounting platform, the mounting platform configured to be mounted on both the base member frame assembly and the transverse member frame assembly to thereby couple the base member frame assembly to the transverse member frame assembly,wherein the foot is selectively mounted on the mounting platform, such that the foot is configured to contact the support surface when the modular furniture assembly is in an upright configuration.

Abstract
A modular furniture assembly includes: a base member having a frame assembly, a transverse member having a frame assembly, a foot configured to contact a support surface, and a mounting platform having a plurality of apertures therethrough. The mounting platform is configured to be mounted on the base member frame assembly and the transverse member frame assembly, thereby connecting the frame assemblies. The foot is selectively mounted on the mounting platform, such that the foot is configured to contact the support surface when the modular furniture assembly is in an upright configuration. The mounting platform connects the base and transverse member frame assemblies together and also acts as a platform for receiving a variety of different types of feet.
