A securing pin for securing two structural members that can be used in the assembly of modular furniture. In one embodiment, the securing pin includes a main cylindrical body having an elongated countersink portion positioned at a first end of the main cylindrical body of the securing pin. The first end of the securing pin configured to be secured to a first structural member and a second end of the securing pin configured to be secured to a second structural member. In one embodiment, the second end of the securing pin is secured to the second structural member by a press-fit attachment with a securing split-ring. A fastening device inserted within the elongated countersink portion of the securing pin to secure, and firmly abut, the first structural member to the second structural member.
F16B 12/24 - Jointing of furniture or the like, e.g. hidden from exterior using pegs, bolts, tenons, clamps, clips, or the like for non-metal furniture parts, e.g. made of wood, of plastics using separate pins, dowels, or the like
A bracket for securing a structural member, which can be used in the assembly of modular furniture. The bracket includes a main bracket body and a first cantilever having a first length extending longitudinally from the main bracket body and a second cantilever having a second length that is shorter that the first length of the first cantilever, extending longitudinally from the main bracket body and substantially parallel to the first cantilever. The first cantilever is separated from the second cantilever to form a first channel for receiving a first structural member. In an alternative embodiment, a stabilizing member that is detached from the main bracket body may be substituted for the second cantilever to form the bracket.
A system for securing a plurality of structural members of a type of furniture together includes a plurality of brackets that each attach to an end of at least one of the structural members. A modified bracket permits simultaneous attachment of two or more of the structural members at an end of each of the structural members to the modified bracket. After attachment of the structural members to the modified bracket, each structural member is disposed at any desired angle with respect to a remainder of the structural members. A further modified bracket permits attachment of only one structural member end to the further modified bracket and attachment of the further modified bracket to another structural member along a longitudinal length of the other structural member. A recess provided at an end of each of the structural members receives a pair of spaced-apart longitudinal protrusions of any of the brackets.
