A furniture coupling assembly that includes a coupling having a center portion, a first portion having a first locking member, a second portion having a second locking member, a first end and a second end. The assembly further includes a first furniture member having a first member groove having a shape corresponding to the center, first and second portions of the coupling. The first furniture member has a first locking member opening positioned adjacent to the first member groove. A second furniture member of the assembly has a second member groove having a shape corresponding to the center, first and second portions of the coupling. The second furniture member has a second locking member opening positioned adjacent to the second member groove. The coupling is insertable in the first and second furniture member grooves and the first and second locking members are insertable in the first and second locking member openings, respectively, to join together the first and second furniture members.

Furniture coupling assembly

A coupling for joining together furniture members that has a center portion including a center portion geometric configuration, a first portion including a first portion geometric configuration, a second portion including a second portion geometric configuration, a first end and a second end.

Coupling

A drawer slide having an adjustment device including a cam. The cam can be actuated to adjust the position of the drawer slide with respect to a drawer to which the drawer slide is attached.

Drawer slide having adjustment device

A self-sealing coupling for connection to a fluid fitting having an open end of predetermined configuration includes an adapter having an axial passage and an open end contour to be received over the open end of the fitting. A poppet is disposed in the passage and extends to the open end of the adapter for engaging the fitting as the adapter is received over the fitting. A spring is disposed in the passage for urging the poppet into sealing engagement with the adapter, and a coupler nut is rotatably mounted on the adapter for releasably threadably fastening the adapter and coupling to the external threads of the fitting. The adapter passage includes a conical seat opposed to the poppet, and the poppet includes a conical shoulder opposed to the seat and of greater diameter than minimum diameter of the seat. This conical seat/shoulder construction not only enhances sealing between the poppet and adapter, but also makes the poppet self-centering within the adapter passage. An O-ring is carried within a radially oriented channel on the poppet for engaging the conical seat radially outwardly of the poppet shoulder, and thereby enhancing sealing between the poppet and adapter.
