In one embodiment, the sight and sound barriers of this invention have a flexible sheet of lightweight, resilient foam as a core. This core is covered by a fabric or other suitable covering to further enhance the acoustic properties and to make the walls attractive. In this embodiment the core of polyethylene, polystyrene, urethane, or a mosaic thereof, for example, is made flexible with alternating wall and hinge portions. In an alternate preferred embodiment, the barriers or panels are formed with mitered grooves to allow the panel to be bent into larger degree corners, such as 90 degrees in one direction or 180 degrees in the opposite direction.

In certain preferred embodiments, the present invention provides a cot assembly that includes side pieces, supporting end pieces and bedding material. Preferably the cot assembly holds the end pieces a spaced apart distance, and in one feature allows a side piece to be selectively released. In one embodiment, the end pieces move towards each other to release a side piece, optionally by sliding a side piece through an end piece channel. In one preferred embodiment, the bedding material is mounted to and retained by the end pieces and extends across the interior of the cot to overlap or enclose the side pieces without any gaps between the material, the side pieces and the end pieces. In other embodiments, the invention includes an improved method for attaching the material to the end pieces and an improved cot assembly method. In a preferred option, the bedding material is continuously attached to the end piece along a portion of an end piece. In an alternate optional feature, the end pieces have a curved profile, with a middle portion higher than the end portions.

A novel furniture leg attachment system is provided for attaching legs to articles of furniture, for example chairs. In one embodiment, a furniture member, such as a seat, is provided which defines a slot and a fastener first bore intersecting the slot. The leg member has a tab received within the slot. The tab defines a fastener second bore which is aligned with the fastener first bore when the tab is correctly received within the slot. A fastener is inserted through the fastener first bore and the fastener second bore to retain the tab within the slot. In alternate embodiments, the leg member may have two, three or more tabs, sized and shaped to fit within corresponding slots in the furniture member. In one embodiment, a smooth fastener such as a peg is used to retain the tabs within the slots, allowing easy assembly. Locking means device may be included to retain the fastener in place and to make disassembly difficult.
