Abstract
The invention relates to a supporting assembly for example for a table, bench or chair leg. The supporting assembly essentially comprises two identical halves extruded from extrudable materials so that the supporting assembly can be simply extruded through one extrusion mould. Each half also provides means integrally extruded therewith for interfitting with the other and for connecting horizontal plates which are to be attached to a supported object such as a table top so that the supporting assembly has an aesthetically pleasing appearance and can be made without welding.
Claims7
A supporting assembly comprising two identical generally channel section extruded halves which are interfitted and form an elongated hollow body the ends of which provide means integrally extruded with each half for connecting horizontal plates, and in which said means for connecting horizontal plates comprise screw bosses integrally extruded with each said half, each screw boss comprising a pair of arcuate arms having a gap between their ends facing toward the interior of the channel and defining a circular opening with raised portions spaced around the circumference of said opening capable of being engaged by the threads of a self-tapping screw.
A supporting assembly comprising two identical generally channel section extruded halves which are interfitted and form an elongated hollow body the ends of which provide means integrally extruded with each half for connecting horizontal plates, and wherein each said half has an integrally extruded flange extending inwardly form each channel side and in combination therewith a clamp inserted in the lower end of said hollow body and having clamp plates compressively engaging outer sides of said flanges.
