Abstract
This disclosure relates to a connector, a furniture frame (800), and a piece of furniture, e.g., a table. The furniture frame (800) comprises a first connector (810), a second connector (820), and a frame rail (830) connecting the first connector (810) with the second connector (820). The frame rail (830) comprises a first structural profile (840) and a second structural profile (850) coupled with the first structural profile (840) such that a light guide support groove (860) is formed between the first structural profile (840) and the second structural profile (850)
Claims27
A furniture frame (800) for a piece of furniture, e.g., a table, comprising:
- a first connector (810),
- a second connector (820), and
- a frame rail (830) connecting the first connector (810) with the second connector (820);
- wherein the frame rail (830) comprises a first structural profile (840) and a second structural profile (850) coupled with the first structural profile (840) such that a light guide support groove (860) is formed between the first structural profile (840) and the second structural profile (850).
A furniture frame (800) according to any of the preceding claims, wherein the first structural profile (840) and/or the second structural profile (850) comprises aluminum.
A furniture frame (800) according to any of the preceding claims, wherein the second structural profile (850) comprises a tubular stiffener duct (854) between the first mounting end (851) and the second mounting end (852) and a tubular reinforcement rod (855) fixed in the stiffener duct (854).
A furniture frame (800) according to any of the preceding claims, wherein the first connector (810) and/or the second connector (820) is a connector (100) in accordance with any of claims 11 to 21.
A connector (100) for a furniture frame for a piece of furniture, e.g., a table, comprising:
- a junction part (110);
- a first rail mount (121) coupled with the junction part (110);
- a second rail mount (122) coupled with the junction part (110);
- and
- a tubular leg mounting insert (130) configured to be inserted into a hollow furniture leg, the leg mounting insert (130) having a proximal end (131) towards the junction part (110) and a distal end (132) opposite the proximal end (131) and comprising a side wall (133), extending from the junction part (110) to the distal end (132);
- wherein a wiring pathway (111) extends from the distal end (132) to the proximal end (131) within the leg mounting insert (130) and from the proximal end (131) further to each of the first rail mount (121) and the second rail mount (122) within the junction part (110).
