Abstract
A collapsible furniture item having a set of panels that a person without the aid of tools can slidingly interlock with each other to form a standalone upright furniture item and once assembled can be quickly disassembled also without the aid tools to allow the panels to be transported to a different location for quick and efficient assembled into a standalone upright furniture through interlocking engagement between the panels.
Claims5
A collapsible traveling furniture item comprising:
- a first rigid panel leg having a first end, a support surface engaging second end, a top slot located proximal said first end of said first rigid panel leg, and a transverse slot extending partially across said first rigid panel leg;
- a second rigid panel leg having a first end, a support surface engaging second end, a top slot located proximal said first end of said second rigid panel leg, and a transverse slot extending partially across said second rigid panel leg with the transverse slot in said first rigid panel leg slidably engageable and interlockable with the second rigid panel leg and the transverse slot therein;
- and
- a rigid top panel having a first end and a second end, a first tongue located on said first end of said rigid top panel and supported within said top slot of said first rigid panel leg, a second tongue located on said second end of said rigid top panel and supported within said top slot of said second rigid panel leg.

A method of forming a stand from a set of panels comprising the steps of:
- slidably engaging and interlocking a transverse slot extending partially across a first rigid panel leg having a first end and a support surface engaging second end with a transverse slot extending partially across a second rigid panel leg having a first end and a support surface engaging second end;
- inserting a first tongue located on a first end of a rigid top panel within a top slot located proximal said first end of said first rigid panel leg;
- inserting a second tongue located on a second end of said rigid top panel within a top slot located proximal said first end of said second rigid panel leg;
- and
- setting the stand on a support surface with the support surface engaging second end of the first rigid panel leg and the support surface engaging second of the second rigid panel leg in engagement with the support surface so that a weight of the stand panels brings the panels into frictional engagement with each other.
