Knock-down furniture

A knock-down furniture assembly comprising:

• a) a seating assembly having a first end and a second end laterally opposite the first end, the first end including a plurality of first end connectors and the second end including a plurality of second end connectors, the seating assembly including at least one seat section, each seat section having a seat base and a seat back;
• b) a first arm having a first outboard side and a first inboard side laterally opposite the first outboard side, the first inboard side including a plurality of first arm connectors, each first arm connector and a corresponding first end connector defining a first pair of interlockable connectors for removably attaching the first arm to the first end of the seating assembly;
• c) a second arm having a second outboard side and a second inboard side laterally opposite the second outboard side, the second inboard side including a plurality of second arm connectors, each second arm connector and a corresponding second end connector defining a second pair of interlockable connectors for removably attaching the second arm to the second end of the seating assembly;
• d) each pair of interlockable connectors comprising (i) a female bracket defining a bracket channel extending along a channel axis oriented generally vertically when the furniture assembly is upright, and (ii) a male bracket comprising a slide member slidable into the bracket channel generally along the channel axis for interlocking thereof;
• and
• e) a plurality of latch mechanisms for securing together adjacent ones of the first arm, the at least one seat section, and the second arm when the latch mechanisms are closed, each latch mechanism including a first member fixed to a first furniture component and a second member fixed to a second furniture component adjacent the first furniture component, the first and second furniture components comprising respective ones of the first arm, the at least one seat section, and the second arm, and wherein closing each latch mechanism pulls the first and second furniture components together along a latch axis that is generally perpendicular to the channel axis, and
• wherein the first arm includes two female brackets attached thereto, the second arm includes two male brackets attached thereto, and the seat base includes two female brackets attached thereto on one side and two male brackets attached thereto on an opposite side, and wherein the two male brackets attached to the seat base are arranged to slidably couple with the two female brackets attached to the first arm, and the two female brackets attached to the seat base are arranged to slidably couple with the two male brackets attached to the second arm.

A knock-down furniture assembly comprising:

• a) a seating assembly extending along a seating axis between a first end and a second end laterally opposite the first end, the first end including a plurality of first end connectors and the second end including a plurality of second end connectors, the seating assembly including at least one seat section, each seat section having a seat base and a seat back;
• b) a first arm having a first outboard side and a first inboard side laterally opposite the first outboard side, the first inboard side including a plurality of first arm connectors, each first arm connector and a corresponding first end connector defining a first pair of interlockable connectors for removably attaching the first arm to the first end of the seating assembly;
• and
• c) a second arm having a second outboard side and a second inboard side laterally opposite the second outboard side, the second inboard side including a plurality of second arm connectors, each second arm connector and a corresponding second end connector defining a second pair of interlockable connectors for removably attaching the second arm to the second end of the seating assembly;
• wherein each pair of interlockable connectors comprises (i) a female bracket comprising a base plate and a pair of retaining flanges spaced apart from the base plate and defining a bracket channel between the retaining flanges and the base plate, the bracket channel extending along a channel axis oriented generally perpendicular to the seating axis, and (ii) a male bracket comprising a slide member slidable into the bracket channel generally along the channel axis for interlocking thereof, and
• wherein the first arm includes two female brackets attached thereto, the second arm includes two male brackets attached thereto, and the seat base includes two female brackets attached thereto on one side and two male brackets attached thereto on an opposite side, and wherein the two male brackets attached to the seat base are arranged to slidably couple with the two female brackets attached to the first arm, and the two female brackets attached to the seat base are arranged to slidably couple with the two male brackets attached to the second arm.
