Abstract
A kit for producing a higher versatile table, preferably an office desk in which the table is assembled from platform segments which are joined together and to the fastening plate of a leg by perforated plates having a hole pattern matching the hole pattern formed by threaded bores in the undersides of the platform segments, at least one leg being joined to the perforated plate via its fastening plate and the screws of the kit.
Claims13
A kit for producing a table, especially an office desk, comprising:
- a plurality of plate segments contiguously positionable to generate a multiplicity of table layouts, all of said segments being formed with an upper surface, a lower surface and, opening at said lower surface, a multiplicity of threaded blind bores in respective predetermined multihole patterns at least along a plurality of edges of each plate segment;
- a plurality of table legs each formed at an upper end with a substantially flat connecting plate having a plurality of throughgoing bores spaced apart in one of said patterns and adapted to register with the threaded bores of said segments and, upon assembly of said segments in contiguous relationship, with at least one plate segment of a plurality of contiguously adjoining segments at one of said patterns of said one of said segments;
- connecting means for bridging between contiguously adjoining plate segments and including substantially flat perforated plates having multiplicities of throughgoing holes in said predetermined multihole patterns adapted to register with a plurality of said threaded bores each of at least two contiguously adjoining plate segments at respective others of said patterns thereof and with bores of said connecting plates;
- and
- bolts adapted to be screwed into said threaded bores and insertable in said holes in said perforated plates and simultaneously through said bores of said connecting plates and holes of said perforated plates where said legs are to be mounted to assemble said segments and legs into a table.
