Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Jan. '7, 1908.
Application filed February .1907. Serial No. 355.532-
T 0 all whom it may concern:
' Be it known that I, EDWIN P. WANNER, a citizen of the United States, residing in New York city, State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Tables; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to letters of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.
This invention relates to tables and the like articles of furniture having legs, horizontal supporting rails or bars which meet at an angle at each leg, and a supported part, such as the table top.
The invention consists in an improved means for bracing tables and similar articles of furniture at the angles above indicated and it has particularly in view as an objection to be overcome the fact that, as between the side bars or rails, the legs and top, the legs are the elements principally responsible for the loosening of the joints between these parts and that to overcome the loosening ofthe legs will not only preserve the stability of the table in so far as the legs are concerned but will prevent the legs from disturbing the joint as the result of the leverage they exert thereon.
My invention will be found fully illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein,
Figure 1 is a fragmentary plan view of a table constructed in accordance with my invention, a part of the table top being broken away to more clearly illustrate the arrangement and construction of the bracing device and the other parts; Fig. 2 is a vertical sectional view taken parallel with one side of the table and through one leaf of the brace; Fig. 3 is a horizontal sectional view of the leg on the line in Fig. 2; and, Fig. 4 is a horizontal sectional view of the brace taken on the same line In the drawings, a designates the table top and 1) two side rails or bars arranged at right angles to each other and cooperating with the leg 0 to support the top a, which latter may be secured on the parts 1) and c in the manner hereinafter indicated or otherwise.
The leg 0 has two vertical faces (1 arranged at right angles to each other, and against each of these faces (Z abuts the squared end a of the corresponding rail b. WVhere these faces (1 would otherwise meet to form a right angle, a Y-shaped groove is formed in the leg vertically thereof and in a radius of the leg. This groove comprises the part f having its side walls 7 at right angles to each other and the narrow part 7t having its side walls i parallel to each other. It should be remarked that the side rails b are so arranged that their inside faces are flush with the faces of the partf of the Y-shaped groove in the leg above referred to.
is an angle-iron or brace comprising the suitably formed leaves 7r arranged at right angles to each other and a web Z oining said leaves at the top of the brace. The leaves and the web may be formed with suitable holes m whereby to secure the brace to the two side rails or bars I) and to the top a. The brace is furthermore provided, on the outside thereof and along the 'angle formed by its leaves it with a narrow fin or rib n extending preferably the full depth of the brace, and, on the inside thereof, with a boss 0 whose face 7 is at right angles to the rib n; the brace is penetrated by an opening g formed axially of the boss 0. A lag screw r is passed through the opening 1 and driven into the leg 0, its head taking against the boss 0, or a washer s.
hen the brace is placed in position, as shown in the drawing, it projects into the portion f of the Y-shaped groove formed in the leg, and being secured to the two side rails and the top (L by screws t passed through the holes at, this of itself operates largely to prevent loosening between the parts; even though the rails Z), for instance, should shrink so that, so far as they would be concerned, the 0 might be moved on the lag screw as a fulcrum, this action of the leg would be prevented by the brace entering and fitting into the portionf of the Y-shaped groove in said leg. And this effect is very materially augmented by the rib n which, being forced snugly into the portion It of the Y-shaped groove in the leg and being of material depth from the brace outwardly, removes any possibility whatever of play of the leg on its fulcrum.
Other advantages are secured by this construction which will be apparent to those skilled in the art.
Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:
1. In a table or the like, the combination, with two parts arranged at an angle to each 1 other and a third part interposed between the adjoining ends of said first named parts, said third part having a recess substantially coincident With the angle represented by the inside faces of said first-named parts, of an angle brace formed to coincide With said angle and having its apex portion snugly fitting said recess and means for securing the angle brace to said parts, substantiallyas described.
2. In a table or the like, the combination, With two parts arranged at an angle to each other and a third part arranged at theadjoining ends of said parts, said third part having a vertical Yshaped recess on the inside thereof, of an angle-brace formed to coincide With said angle and having an exterior rib at the apex of its angle and arranged in the angle formed by said first-named parts With its ribbed portion fitting the recess of the third EDWIN P. WVANNER.
