Disclosed is a laminated wood corner construction for furniture and a method for preparing such a construction. The corner construction comprises two laminated wood legs bent at 90.degree. angles, bisected on a 45.degree. diagonal throughout their length and glued together and a laminated wood connecting piece bent at a 90.degree. angle, bisected on a 45.degree. diagonal throughout its length and glued between the upper bent portions of the legs. The angle between the upper bent portions of the two laminated wood legs is a right angle. A method for preparing a corner construction comprising the following steps: (a) taking thin wood laminae, applying glue and assembling the laminae with a right angle bend; (b) clamping the laminae in a mold while the glue hardens; (c) cutting the molded sheets into strips; (d) bisecting each strip on a 45.degree. diagonal throughout its length; (e) taking two bisected strips and gluing them together with the upper bent portions running at right angles to each other; (f) taking a shorter bisected strip and gluing it between the upper bent portions of the two longer strips; (g) rounding off the ends of the two longer strips by conventional means; (h) cutting a recess into the shorter strip in order to inset a top made of glass or other material.
A corner construction for erecting furniture comprising two laminated wood legs bent at a 90.degree. angle, cut on an angle throughout their lengths, and joined together, the angle between the upper bent portions of the legs being less than 180.degree., and a laminated wood connecting piece bent at a 90.degree. angle, cut on an angle throughout its length and affixed between the upper bent portions of the two legs.
A table comprising a horizontal portion and a frame, said frame comprising four horizontal side members interconnected with four corner constructions wherein the improvement is characterized by a corner construction comprising two laminated wood legs bent at a 90.degree. angle, cut on an angle throughout their lengths, and joined together, the angle between the upper bent portions of the legs being less than 180.degree., and a laminated wood connecting piece bent at a 90.degree. angle, cut on an angle throughout its length, and affixed between the upper bent portions of the legs.
A process for preparing a corner construction comprising the following steps:
