MODULAR FURNITURE ASSEMBLY WITH DUAL COUPLERS
First Claim
1. A modular furniture assembly comprising:
- a base member providing a seating surface;
a transverse member having a height that is substantially greater than the height of the seating surface of the base member;
a first coupler configured to selectively couple the base member to the transverse member; and
a second coupler, spaced apart from the first coupler, the second coupler being configured to selectively couple the base member to the transverse member, wherein the second coupler is positioned lower than the first coupler, so as to selectively couple together a lower portion of the base member to a lower portion of the transverse member;
wherein the first coupler selectively couples together a higher portion of the base member to a higher portion of the transverse member.

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.

11. A modular furniture assembly comprising:
-
a base member providing a seating surface; a transverse member having a height that is substantially greater than the height of the seating surface of the base member; a first coupler configured to manually detachably couple the base member to the transverse member; and a second coupler, spaced apart from the first coupler, the second coupler also being configured to manually detachably couple the base member to the transverse member, wherein the second coupler is positioned lower than the first coupler, so as to selectively couple together a lower portion of the base member to a lower portion of the transverse member; wherein the first coupler is positioned both above and rearward relative to the second coupler, so as to selectively couple together a rearward portion of the base member to a rearward portion of the transverse member. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15)
