5 Claims.
This invention relates to assembled structures comprising a plurality of component parts temporarily interfitted to form a self-support unit.
An object of the invention is to provide an article of furniture designed to be marketed in dissembled condition and whichis capable of assembly to form a usable article devoid of any extraneous elements such as nails or screws for holding the component parts together. A further object of the invention is to provide a novel interlocking joint between component members of a structure of the character described. 1
Other and equally important objects of the invention will become apparent to those skilled in the art as the detailed description of the invention, hereunto annexed, proceeds. It is to be understood that the invention is not to be limited to the specific form thereof herein shown and described as various other embodiments thereof may be employed within the scope of the appended claims.
Referring to the drawing:
Figure l is a perspective view of an article of furniture, exemplified as a chair, embodying the principles of my invention.
Figure 2 is a perspective view of the back member.
Figure 3 is a fragmental vertical sectional view of a portion of the rung. The plane in which the view is taken is indicated by the line 3-3 of-Figure 1. t
Figure 4 is a perspective view of the tie bar.
Figure 5 is a perspective view of the seat member.
Figure 6 is a perspective view of a rocker type of side member.
Figure 7 is a perspective of the complete rung.
Figure 8 is a perspective view of a stationary type of side member.
My invention resides in the proportions, the arrangement of parts and the interlocking joints by mean of which the parts may be connected together to provide a usable structure and while the structure itself may take one of many forms, I have chosen to illustrate and describe the invention as embodied in the chair shown in the drawing; it being obvious that features shown and described in this embodiment will suggest their use in a variety of different component parts for other structural designs. The illustrated chair comprises a pair of identical side members, one of which is shown disengaged in Figure 8 and which is constructed of a unit piece of plywood or other material possessing comparative strength characteristics. A notch 9 extending upwardly into the side member from its bottom edge divides the lower portion of the member into front and rear legs ll and I2, respectively, joined by an integral bridge l3 whose upper surface [4 provides a horizontal seat ledge. An integral back stile l6, substantially coextensive with the rear leg l2, rises from the rear end of the seat ledge l4 and is provided, at its upper end, with a vertically opening back-member notch I1 and, at its junction with the seat ledge I4, with a horizontal forwardly opening seat notch l8 whose lower side is co-planar with the surface I l. The II, at a point intermediate of its vertical le gth, is provided with a rung aperture I9 and substantially vertically aligned with and above the aperture is an upwardly opening tie bar notch 2| intersecting the surface l4.
Means are provided for interconnecting and locking a pair of the side members together to form the main support structure for the chair. As shown in Figure '7, I provide a rung 22 at each end of which is formed an integral attachment hook 20, shaped to create an upper abutment 23, defining one terminal of the upper surface of the rung, and a lower abutment 24, defining one terminal of the lower surface of the rung. The relative horizontal spacing between the abutments 23 and 24 is equal to the thickness of the chair side member. The method of connection of the rung to the side members is illustrated in Figure 3. The hooks are so designed in relation to the vertical length of the aperture that the former may be inserted" through the aperture in only a certain manner. As shown by the dotted lines of the drawing the remote tip of the hook may be started into the aperture only when the rung occupies an angular position with respect to the side member. After insertion of the hook, the rung may be swung upwardly to the full line position wherein it will be perpendicular to the side member and wherein the upper and lower abutments 23 and 24 will be in intimate engagement with the inner and outer faces of the side member. It will be observed that the root thickness of the hook stem 26 in the plane of the .upper abutment 23 is equal to the vertical length of the aperture l9 sothat the rung, when in its final position is effectively locked against vertical movement, the hooks '20 of course preventing separation of the side members and the rung in a horizontal direction. The angular surface 21 extending from the curved end of the hook 20 to intersect the plane of the abutment 23 is so shaped that it will just clear the upper surface of the aperture l9 as the hook is passed therethrough in the manner above described. As is best shown in Figure 4, I also provide a tie bar 28 provided in its lower edge with notches 29 spaced apart according to the desired spacing of the chair side members. The tie bar, as will be seen in Figure 1, is inserted into the notches 2i and forced downwardly thereihto until the notches 29 strad-- dle the side members at the bottoms of the former notches thus further securing the side members together and providing a bridge having its" upper surface in planar coincidence with the seat ledges M.
A seat 3|, shown in Figure and comprising a rectangular section of plywood or the like may terial, is provided having a pair of notches 32 in its rear edge and an elongated aperture 33 paralleling the said rear edge and positioned substantially m'edial ly of the sides of. the seat The notches 3 2 are spaced apart equivalent to the spacing" between the chair side members to that, when the seat rested on the ledges i4 and pushed rearwarclly, the former notches will move into interlocking engagemen-twith the seat notches l 8= thus securing the seat against rearward, transverse or up movement relative tothe chair; The seat also, it will be noted, secures the tie bar 2'13 in positionagainst upward displacement.
I further provide a back member; shown in detached relation in Figure 2, comprising an integr'al' piece of plywood or the like having a horizontal head portion 3'4 from which depends a comparatively narrow tongue 36. Dbwntvar'dly opening notches 3? are provided in the lower edge of the head portion 34 and are spaced apart a distance equal to the spacing of the chair side members. Attachment of the back. member may be effected, as will. be seen in Figure 1,, by bring.- ing the notches 31 into registry with the stile notches lit and the lower end of the tongue 36 into registry with the seat aperture 33 .v Downward pressure on the backmember will then. move the notches 31 and H into interlocking relation-- ship and. the tongue 35 will be caused to enter theaperture 3 3.. When this latter position itwil'li be noted: that the back member, by the engagement of the tongue 36 with the aperture: 33, securely locks the seat 31 against displacc memtforwardly of the chair and is the final: key which: locks the assembly of. parts together; It will] also be: noted: that the pointsol. contact: of. therbackt member with. the upper end or the stiles; no and: with the seat 3F respectively; form at triangular pattern which lends maximum. horizon. tail-'ly transverse-stabi lityto the chair;
In. Figure 6 I have shown a side member modified slightly ilrom the iormshown in Figu-re 8'. In this design the notch 9 is replaced: by an aperture 38 so as: to provide: a. continuous curvilinear rocker 39 along the bottom or the side member: A pair of these members, when assembled with the other unmodified members previously described, will produce a rocking The various component parts of the chairs or my invention are comparatively simple figures; which lend. themselves; well to quantity and prev cision production so that, in regard to the latter feature, selected. parts from variousgroups of components will bereadiiy' interchangeablematerial of which: the chairs are constructed. it onefierably' plywood of thickness or more since this material is comparatively common and plentiful. However other similar substances such as hard-pressed pulp board, with a resinous binder to increase its strength, or any of the sheet plastic materials of suitable thickness may be employed.
