Abstract
The disclosure herein describes a joint consisting of three serially-interconnectable members each including a cut-away section; the volumes defined by the cut-away sections of the first and second are equal and L-shaped. These two members, once assembled, define a cut-away section, the volume of which is rectangular. The volume of the cut-away section of the third member which serves to interlock the three pieces together equals the sum of the said L-shaped volume and the rectangular volume. One application of the joint of the present invention is in furniture support structures such as tables, shelves or the like.
