A bracket for connecting furniture cushions to construct child-sized forts and tunnels comprising:
- a first clamping member sized and constructed to engage an edge of a furniture cushion;
- a second clamping member sized and constructed to engage an edge a furniture cushion;
- and
- the first clamping member connected to the second clamping member to position two furniture cushions adjacent to each other and extending from the bracket.
A floor brace for supporting furniture cushions perpendicular to a floor for use in constructing child-sized forts and tunnels comprising:
- a clamping member constructed having an opening that is sized to engage an edge of a furniture cushion an to hold the cushion in a firm stable manner;
- a base sized to extend from the clamping member;
- and
- the clamping member secured to the base to open generally away from the base whereby a cushion may be supported extending upwardly from the floor.
A bracket for connecting furniture cushions to construct child sized forts and tunnels comprising an upper chamber formed by a first and a second generally L-shaped members that are separated from each other and are connected by a perpendicular separator, and a lower chamber extending the second generally L-shaped member, the lower chamber formed by two sets of parallel walls that are at a right angle to each other and that form openings at right angles to each other, the two sets of parallel walls sized to hold two cushions perpendicular to the upper chamber and each other in a firm and stable manner.
A method for building a structure of cushions comprising:
- providing one or more cushions;
- providing a bracket that is sized and constructed to engage a cushion to hold the cushion in a designed position with respect to the bracket;
- engaging a cushion with the bracket;
- and
- positioning the cushion at a desired location and in a designed orientation.
