POST AND RAIL CONNECTION.
Application filed June 15,
Our invention relates to improvements in postand rail connections and, although sus-.
' ing a standard to a rail'and of securing said of Fig. 2.
rail to a table top; to provide a construction in which the parts for effecting the connection, although exteriorly adjustable, are so placed as to be substantially concealed from the ordinary view; to provide a construction particularly adaptable for use in connecting members made of straight wall metal tubing; to provide a construction arranged so that the standard or postmay be readily deinounted for shipment and reassembled with equal facility; to provide a construction which shall be simple and eco nomical to design and. manufacture, while being neat, sturdy and efficient for the purpose intended, and in general to provide an improved construction of the character referred to. r
In the drawings which illustrate our invention as applied to a bed room dresser of simple design,
Fig. 1 is a fragmentary elevation showing the dresser top and associated mirror standards. q
Fig.2 is a section taken on the line 2-2 of Fig. 1.
Fig. 3 71s a section taken on the line 3-4) Fig.4 is a section taken on the line 44 of'Fig. 2. TI v Fig. 5 is a perspective view of the bottom end of one ofthe standards, and Fig. 6 is a section taken on the line 6- -6 of Fig. 1.
Referring to thedrawings, 10 represent? as a whole the dresser to which our invention is shown applied, Said dresser is constructed of sheet metal throughout and embodies a frame work of metallic tubing, one of the members ofwhich includesa horizontally extending back rail 11 of rectangular steel tubing. The table top, which is supported by the body frame work of the dresser is constructed of a steel sheet 12 supported .1923. Serial No. 645,499.
on a frame work of rectangular steel tubing, one member of which is indicated at 13 and partially overlies the back horizontal member 11 of the body framework. Preferably in order to lessen the noise, paper strips as at 14 are interposed between the top Sheet l2.and'its supporting frame work.
The mirror, designated as a whole 15 is swung between a pair of posts or standards 16 and 17 each constructed of metallic tubing having a square cross section. V The standards 16 and 17 are mounted on the pedestal rail 18 also constructed of rectangular steel tubing. Said rail or pedestal 18 is punched out as shown in Figs. 2 and 3 so as to admit i the lower end of the standard, and it will be observed that in punching out said apertures the entire-top wall 19 of the pedestal rail 18 is removed for a distance equal to the exterior width of the tubing from which the standard 16 is constructed. It will also be observedthat the back wall '20 of the standard 16 is telescoped within the rear wall 21 of said pedestal rail while the front wall 22 of the upper portion of the standard 16 terminates at and rests upon the front wall 23 of the rail 18, said parts 22 and 23 being in alignment. 1 I
In order to avoid the necessity of cutting away that portion of the tube 16 located inside of the tube 18 in order to permit of its insertion, we prefer to notch the front of the tube 16 as shown at 24, afterward caving in the front wall of the lower portion thereof as indicated at'25 thereby enabling the said lower end to'be slipped down into the pedestal rail 18. The joint between the front walls 22 and 23 of the standard and pedestal rail is concealed by the face plate 26, the lower end of which rests upon the surface of the top sheet 12 while the upper end thereof extends a short distance above the said joint 27. Preferably, the face plate 26 ismade with a pair of rearwardly bent lugs or extensions 28 spaced to embrace .closely the sides of the standard 16, the upper edges of which are aligned with the upper edge of the face plate 26, while the lower edges of said lugs 28 rest upon the top wall 19 of the-pedestal rail. In order to secure said face plate 27 in'position, it may be brazed at its edges to the front wall 23 of the pedestal rail or the edges of the extensions 28 may be brazed to the top wall 19 of the pedestal rail. The rail 18 is held down by bolts as at 29 extending through the frame men'ibers 11 ant 13 and each haw ing its head 30 located within and engaging the lower wall 31 of the pedestal rail. It will be manifest that when the nut is tightened, the bolt will serve to draw the pedestal rail 18 down toward the body frame member 11, thus clamping the frame member 13, paper 1% and top sheet 12 as well as positively securing the pedestal rail to the top of the dresser. It will be noted that the security of said connection is not atlected by the presence or absence oi the standard 16, subsidiary means being employed to support said standard on the pedestal rail.
lly reterence to Fig. 2, it will be seen that the head 30 ot the bolt 29 consists of a horizontally extending head member 33 made with a rear extension bent upwardly at right angles as indicated at St, said extension 34 being of slightly less width than the interior of the standard tube 16 so that the latter may he slid down upon said extension S l. Said extension 34: is so bent as to leave a slight space between it and the back wall 21 of the pedestal rail 18, enabling the back wall 20 or" the standard 16 to be telescoped down in between the said parts. One or more cap screws as at 35, passing through suitable apertures in the walls 20 and 21 ot the post and rail respectively and fitting suitably tapped holes in the vertical extension of the bolt head, serve to clamp the said parts 21, 20 ant S-l rigidly together. Upon removing said crews 35, the standard 16 can be readily wit; lrawn vertically out or" the pedestal rail for shipping purposes.
In Fig. (3 we have illustrated an additional center support for the pedestal rail .18. Said support comprises a small ilfitbar 36 extending vertically between the rail 18 and certain body framing. As shown, the up per end of said bar 36 is united to the inside of the rear wall 21 of the pedestal rail by screws as at 37. The lower wall 31 of said pedestal rail is punched out as are the top sheet 12, deadening strip 38 and table top frame member 39 in order to enable the lower end of said bar 36 to slide into a channel-like pocket formed in the back sheet l0 of the dresser body portion. Bolts as at 41 are used for clamping said bar 36 to the back of a vertically extending frame member 12 constituting a portion of the dresser body frame work.
The described details of construction bein merely illustrative of one phase of our invention, it will be understood that the scope of same should be interpreted by reference to the appended claims, said claims being construed as broadly as possible, consistent with the state of the art.
