- An article embodying the invention as illustrated in Figs. 1 to 4, comprises, in the present instance, four separable parts, namely, a top member or frame 10, two supporting members 11, 11 therefor attached to opposed side edge portions thereof, and a retaining member 12 which binds the support members in assembled set-up relation.
- the top member comprises a frame preferably of rectangular form, with its sides composed, in the present instance, of lengths of angle iron secured together at their ends.
- Each opposed side bar a of the frame at each end adjacent to the respective cross-bar b is provided with a top notch c and in inwardly spaced relation thereto with a notch d, the two notches c, c and the two notches d, d at the associated end of the top member being transversely aligned in respective pairs.
- the notches c and d are preferably spaced approximately three inches apart.
- Each support member 11 in its present embodiment is of inverted U-form and comprises a pair of transversely spaced legs 1, f and a connecting cross or loop portion g.
- the legs are angled in parallel relation at their upper end portions to provide the short lateral arms h so as to ofiset the loop g from the longitudinal plane of the legs, the angle of offset being substantially a right angle.

- the lower edge of each inner side flange of the bar is preferably, but not necessarily, notched adjacent to each end as at 23.
- the notches .23 may be provided in transverse.y aligned relation in both flanges, as shown. However, when the bars are :in assembled relation the notches in the outer .flanges perform no function.
- the end supporting members .21 are the same as in the first form, except that the cross-bars i are omitted, and in place thereof-each inwardly angled part It is provided with a crosspin i that projects a short distance from each side of said part.
- the angled parts 11' of the supporting member are connected, in the present instance, at their free ends by a cross-loop or bar g.
- the cross-loop g of each member is placed under the adjacent bar ends in register with the bar notches 23, if such notches are provided, and with the cross-pins z" positioned over the hooked fingers 22.
- the support members are disposed with their legs j in outwardly inclined positions with the angled parts It in the bar channels at the respective ends thereof.
- the crossbars g firmly engage against the under sides of the bars 20, while the cross-pins i' firmly seat within the upturned fingers 22.
- the legs f are rigidly braced and united by a bottom means .24 which, in the present instance, is composed of diagonalliy disposed bars 25 centrally connected by a tie member 26 and having loops 27 at their ends for receiving the legs.

ATTOR N EYS United States Patent KNOCK-DOWN SUPPORT MEANS Bert F. Strand, Jr., Toledo, Ohio Application November 15, 1954, Serial No. 468,596
10 Claims. (Cl. 155-196) This invention relates more particularly, but not exclusively, to knock-down furniture, or other articles of a type wherein a top member or frame is supported at one or more edges by detachable leg members, and is a continuation-in-part of my application for United States Letters Patent Serial No. 374,075, filed August 13, 1953, now abandoned.
An object of the invention is the provision of an article of the class described that is composed of few parts, is capable of being easily and quickly connected together for use, or separated for shipment or storage, is economical to manufacture, and is light and durable in construction, whereby the practicability and commercial value thereof is enhanced.
Other objects and advantages of the invention will be apparent from the following description, and from the accompanying drawings illustrating two embodiments of the invention, and in Which Figure 1 is a perspective view of a table structure embodying the invention, with a portion of an associated table top member broken away;
Fig. 2 is a similar exploded view thereof, with the table top member removed and with the retaining ring omitted;
Fig. 3 is a similar view showing both legs or supporting members at different stages of movement in.the act of being engaged over the ends of the top frame structure preparatory to having locking engagement therewith or being removed therefrom;
Fig. 4 is a perspective view of a structure embodying the invention in set-up position and serving as a base structure or support for a chair seat and back, with portions of the seat and back broken away;
Fig. 5 is a perspective view of a modified table structure, with the parts in assembled set-up position;
Fig. 6 is a similar exploded view thereof, with the leg bracing means omitted, and
Fig. 7 is a perspective view of the top side members in connected relation.
While the invention is capable of use in connection with various articles, and particularly those in the furniture art, it is shown herein for the purpose of illustration as applied to a table (Fig. 1) and to a chair (Fig. 4).
An article embodying the invention, as illustrated in Figs. 1 to 4, comprises, in the present instance, four separable parts, namely, a top member or frame 10, two supporting members 11, 11 therefor attached to opposed side edge portions thereof, and a retaining member 12 which binds the support members in assembled set-up relation.
The top member comprises a frame preferably of rectangular form, with its sides composed, in the present instance, of lengths of angle iron secured together at their ends. Each opposed side bar a of the frame at each end adjacent to the respective cross-bar b is provided with a top notch c and in inwardly spaced relation thereto with a notch d, the two notches c, c and the two notches d, d at the associated end of the top member being transversely aligned in respective pairs. In practice, with an article such as illustrated, the notches c and d are preferably spaced approximately three inches apart.
Each support member 11 in its present embodiment is of inverted U-form and comprises a pair of transversely spaced legs 1, f and a connecting cross or loop portion g. The legs are angled in parallel relation at their upper end portions to provide the short lateral arms h so as to ofiset the loop g from the longitudinal plane of the legs, the angle of offset being substantially a right angle. The legs are sufiiciently spaced to straddle the frame and the angle portions h are intended to lie along the respective sides of the frame lengthwise thereof with the loop g engaging up into the adjacent pair of notches d. Each of said angle portions h has an inwardly projecting part, in the present instance in the form of a crossbar i, which connects both portions, and is intended to fit down into the associated top notches c of the frame when a support member 11 is assembled in supporting relation to the frame, as shown.
In assembling a support member 11 with the top frame 10, each member 11 is placed substantially in longitudinal alignment with the respective end of the frame and the frame end is then inserted into the space between the two parts g and i until the part i registers with the notches c and is lowered therein. The member 11 is then swun-g about the axis of the part i as a fulcrum to cause the part g to swing upwardly toward the frame and seat in the registering bottom notches d. In this position the member 11 at its inner or upper end is firmly held in rigid relation to the frame except for swinging movements in an outward or releasing direction relative to the frame, as is apparent by reference to the drawing. The legs 1, 1, when in this set-up position, are angled slightly outwardly from right angular relation to the frame. If the arms h are at right angles to the legs f, as shown in the present instance, the inclination of the legs is caused by a slight difference in the plane of the parts g and i when interengaged with the frame notches c and d.
When the leg members 11 have both been assembled with the frame, they are tied together and held in substantially rigid relation thereto by a retaining member 12 which, in the present instance, is in the form of a rectangle and adapted to he slipped down over the four legs 1 from above the frame 10 and to move into binding rela tion thereto by reason of the outward inclination of the legs, as is apparent. While any suitable attaching means may be employed for holding the retaining member 12 in assembled relation to the legs, a simple means for this purpose, which obviates the use of bolts or screws, consists in notching each leg in position for the member 12 to spring therein when it has been forced down a predetermined distance thereon, such notching being indicated at k in Figs. 2 and 3. It is apparent that when the member 12 has been removed from connecting relation with the legs, the support members 11 may be swung outward and upward and their upper end portions thereby released from interengagement with the top frame 10.
While the assembled frame 10 with its supporting members 11 may be used for various purposes, two instances of such use are shown in the drawings where in Fig. 1 the frame is shown as cooperating with a member 14 forming the top of a table, and in Fig. 4 as cooperating with a seat and back member 15 to form a chair.
In Figs. 5 and 6 is shown a modified form of the invention wherein the top frame part corresponding to 10 in the previously described form is shown as comprising two separate transversely spaced parallel side bars 20, 20 extending lengthwise between the two opposed supporting members 21, 21 which are adapted to have res 3 leasable engagement with the respective end .of said bars.
Each side bar 20 is preferably of channel-bar form in crosss'ection with its channel facing downwardly, and at each .end the lower edge portion of both. side flanges :are longitudinally extended to .fOIIH a pair of transversely spaced upwardly projected hooked fingers 22. The lower edge of each inner side flange of the bar is preferably, but not necessarily, notched adjacent to each end as at 23. In order that the bars 20 may be interchangeably used, the notches .23 may be provided in transverse.y aligned relation in both flanges, as shown. However, when the bars are :in assembled relation the notches in the outer .flanges perform no function.
The end supporting members .21 are the same as in the first form, except that the cross-bars i are omitted, and in place thereof-each inwardly angled part It is provided with a crosspin i that projects a short distance from each side of said part. The angled parts 11' of the supporting member are connected, in the present instance, at their free ends by a cross-loop or bar g.
In assembling the two support members 21 and top bars 20, 2 0, the cross-loop g of each member is placed under the adjacent bar ends in register with the bar notches 23, if such notches are provided, and with the cross-pins z" positioned over the hooked fingers 22. In this position, the support members are disposed with their legs j in outwardly inclined positions with the angled parts It in the bar channels at the respective ends thereof. As the support members are drawn inward, the crossbars g firmly engage against the under sides of the bars 20, while the cross-pins i' firmly seat within the upturned fingers 22. Y
The legs f are rigidly braced and united by a bottom means .24 which, in the present instance, is composed of diagonalliy disposed bars 25 centrally connected by a tie member 26 and having loops 27 at their ends for receiving the legs. The outward spring of the legs tends to hold the brace means in position thereon and this is facilitated by looped engaging notches 23 in the legs.
, While the top .frame structure is shown in Figs. and 6 as comprising separable or independent side bars 20, these bars may, if desired, be connected by cross-rods 29 to provide a unitary structure, as shown in Fig. 7. The side bars 20 in Figs. 5 and 6 may also be rigidly connected by a table top member such as shown at 14 in Fig. l.
I wish .it understood that my invention is not limited to any specific construction, arrangement or form of the parts, as it capable of numerous modifications and changes without departing from the spirit of the claims.
