A. G. MURDOCK CORNER BRACKET Nov. 8, 1932.
Filed A ril 8. 19:51
[IHIIIII' W 5 Mme;
Patented Nov. 8, 1932 UNITED STATES connnn Bnacknr Application filed April 8,
This invention relates to a corner bracket for use in connection with folding tables such as card tables, one of the objects being to provide a light but durable corner bracket which will not only serve as a reinforcement forthe corner of the table frame but will also constitute the sole meansfor connecting the pivoted leg and its brace to the table..
A further object is to provide a corner bracket which can be assembled withthe leg and its brace so as to form a complete leg unit which can subsequently be fastened readily to the frame of the table and insure pro er relation of the leg to its brace.
ith the foregoing and other objects in view which will appear as the description proceeds, the invention resides in the combination and arrangement of parts-and in the details of construction hereinafter described and claimed, it being understood that In the accompanying drawing, the preferred form of the invention has been shown. 1
In said drawing:
Figure 1 is a bottom plan view of one corner portion of a card table towhich the presthe leg and its brace being shown connected to the corner bracket.
Figure 2 is a section on line 22, Figure 1, the leg and its brace being shown extended downwardly from the table.
Figure 3 is a perspective view of the corner bracket.
Referring to thefigures by characters of reference, 1 designates the usual table frame to which the top 2 is secured in any preferred manner, the corner portion of the frame being fastened by any means such as a corner plate 3 attached thereto.
Thecorner bracket constituting the present invention comprises a single strip of metal bent to provide a base 4 and terminal arms 5 and 6. These arms are extended at right angles to the base 4 and the free end portion of arm 5 is offset laterally as shown at 7 so as to be spaced from the frame 1 when the corent improvements are applied, a portion of 1931. serial K015253591;
ner bracket is secured to the frame; The
. other arm 6 can be reduced in: size, as shown at 8, so asto lighten'the structure and both of. the arms 5 and 6 are provided with apertures 9 and 10-:respectiv'ely which are coaxial and spaced equal distances from the base 4. The aperture 9 is in the offset portion 7 and is adapted to receive the upset end of a pivot pin 11 which extends transversely through one end portion of a leg 12. The 6 head 13 of pin 11 laps the leg and cooperates with the ofiset portion 7 to hold said' leg against movement longitudinally of the pin. 1
The opening 10 holds a rivet 14 which constitutes a pivotal mounting for a diagonal brace 15 one end of which, not shown, is adapted to be securely fastened to the leg as 1 is usual in tables of this general type.
Openings 16 are formed in the base 4 and arm 5 for the reception of rivets 17 which are extended through the adjacent sides of frame 1 and serve to fasten the corner bracket securely to tWo sides of the frame against which it will fit snugly and thus act as a rein forcement. It is preferred to so locate they corner bracket that when it is secured to the frame 1 the upperedges of the base 4 V and arms 5 and 6 will rest against the top 2 as shown in Figure 2.
The leg and brace can be attached to the' corner bracket so as to form a complete leg unit. The'corner bracket can then be quickly fastened within the corner portion of the frame by'means of the rivets 17-the inner ends of which are adapted to be offset as shown. Thus the leg can beheld properly .to the table without requiring the use of an excessively long pivot pin which extends through both the leg and the frame. The leg and its brace can'be assembled in proper relation to each other before these parts are attached to the frame and an accurate assemblage is thus insured. The cost of connecting the parts is also reduced considerably. 9
What is claimed is:
The combination with a table frame, of a bracket fitted snugly in the angle of the frame and secured thereto for holding the frame together at said angle, saidbracket including a metal strip of uniform width bent to provide a base for attachment to one side of the frame and parallel arms formed by the end portions of the strip, separate means for attaching the base and one arm to two sides of the frame respectively, said attached arm having its free end offset inwardly from the side of the frame to which the arm is attached, separate pivot devices in said ofiset portion and in the other arm respectively, a leg mounted on thepivot on the olfset portion and between the arms, a
brace mounted on the other pivot device, said brace being attached to the leg, the bracket, leg and brace being connected together independently of the frame.
In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own, I have hereto aflixed my signature. 1 V ASHBY G. MURDOOK.
