Abstract
An article of furniture is formed by a plurality of structural members connected to one another. Each of the structural members comprises an angulated barrel-shaped frame body consisting of a pair of spaced, opposed frame plates which narrow in width from the central portion towards the opposite ends thereof, and another pair of opposed frame plates of constant width over the entire length thereof. Wall plates cover the frame body. A plurality of such structural members are connected with one another by the aid of connecting members disposed substantially in the central portion of the structural member to form furniture such as sofas, desks, beds, tables, etc.
Claims8
An article of furniture comprising:
- interconnected structural bodies, each structural body including a frame body comprising a pair of identical spaced, opposed frame plates which narrow in width from the center thereof towards opposite ends, and another pair of identical, spaced, opposed frame plates whose width is constant for the entire length thereof, said pairs of frame plates being joined together at their ends to form an open hexagonal frame,
- at least one wall plate laterally spanning said frame body and fixed at its edges thereto, and
- connector means fixed to said at least one wall plate at the center thereof and extending outwardly therefrom at right angles to said wall plates for connecting said structural bodies, one to the other for limited pivoting about an axis parallel to a line passing through the center of the connecting bodies such that said frame bodies are stacked in fish bone, pivotably linked fashion.
