Application mea March s, 1939i vgsfc/rial No. 434,42of
This invention relates'to furniture, bric-abrac and decorative objects, to methods and means for fabricating the same, and more especially to the elemental peculiarities char-V acterizing a certain species of structural de sign adapted for embodiment in many variant forms of furniture and decorative goods.
The main objects of the invention are to useful and decorative articles, such as tables,
picture frames and'numerous kindred devices, all characterized substantially by a dominant elemental joint design.
An illustrative embodiment of this invention is shown by the accompanying drawing, in which Y Figure 1 is a side view of a square table, the top boards being indicated by dotted lines.
Fig. 2 is a view of the table of Fig. 1 as viewed from either the right or the left.
Fig. 3 is a perspective view of a character# istic elemental six-bar mortised joint design 80 unit.
Fig. 4 is a perspective view of the mortised side of an illustrative elemental bar trebly mortised for selective use in variant structural designs. c
Fig. 5 is a fragmentary plan showing the corner at the right of Fig. 1 and at `the left prises on each side a pair of similar spaced parallel bars 5. On two opposite sides A.'
these bars lie side by side, as shown in Fig. 2, and on valternate sides B they lie one over the other, as shown in Fig. 1.
rangement, such as at one end to admit the complementary bar Il Each of saidlegs 3 comprises a pair of similarupright spaced parallel bars'6. j
Said frame bars 5 and legk barsl 6 are all similarly mortised on theirinner faces, as at 7 where they'cross and,y as at 8, are mutually f united in substantially rigidframe joint ar- `illustrated by Figs. 6 and 3. 4
Inv order to 'readily accommodate decorative embellishment, and tofacilitate variations in specific design, the several bars 5 and j 6 also have additional mortises similar to those indicated at 7. For convenience in manufactureand fabrication and for the sake of standardization and economy, the several bars are all cut from common bar stock 9 preformed in any desired commercial or storage lengths and having a uniform continuous series of appropriately spaced mortises 7.
For the sake of neatness and economy, the l material between mortises is preferably cut out as at 10, kleaving inclined inactive shoulf ders 11 and 12. The mortise shoulders y13 are preferably upright and parallel.
As a net result the bars are all flattish as a whole, with the mortises on one side, and responsive to appropriate ybending of the bar between shoulders to more or less open and occlide the mortise openings, as will be under- A stoo The bars, or at least part of them, are positively somewhat flexible and resilient, so as to permit such assembly as illustrated by the joint unit 14 of Figs. 6 and. 3. Properly selected wood, as for instance, cedar or pine, is well adapted for the purpose, and for most light work is preferred.
Referring further to the drawing, the table o additional or supplementary frame and leg members 22 and 23 may be added substan tially similar to members 2 and 3 respectively, as shown, in which event horizontal foot members 25 may well be provided, to harmonize with theV corresponding overlying corner parts of frame2.
The most convenient method for assembling a joint unit 14, such as shown in Fig. 3 "5 and such as appears throughout the fabricated objects referred to, is to first arrange five of the members in due joint relation and then deftly snap the sixth member Wedgingly into place, as indicated in Fig. 6. Incidentally, the Wood .is somewhat resiliently com- Y pressible, and this further facilitates assemvblage.V This joint forming process is repeated throughout the structure and in some devices may be extended indefinitely, as will be'apparent. 5
Although preferred details for the process v p and product of this invention are herein set forth, it is to be understood that some of the Y details recited may be modified or omitted Without'departing from the spirit ofthe invention as dened bythe following claim. Y
- I claim:
,A y A table.,or,the like having a rectangular frame and a plurality of legs and comprising von each side a pairof similar frame bars dise posed horizontally and at each corner a pair of upright leg bars, each pair of leg bars and the adjacent portions of the side bars being similarly mortised with spacedshoulders and being mutually interlocked.
