Abstract
A no-slip corner joint having a mortise and at least one tenon, wherein the mortise in a first structural member is defined by at least one V-shaped groove portion of a given width terminating in two opposing face portions that are perpendicular to the mating surfaces of the first structural member, and the tenons in other structural members are defined by V-shaped projection portions of a given width terminating in two opposing face portions parallel to a mating edge of the other structural members.
Claims21
A joint for securing two structural members together at right angles, said joint comprising a mortise and a tenon, wherein
- said mortise in a first structural member is defined by a V-shaped groove portion of a given width terminating in two opposing face portions perpendicular to a mating surface of the first structural member, and
- said tenon in a second structural member is defined by a V-shaped projection portion of a given width terminating in two opposing face portions parallel to a mating edge of the second structural member, such that when the mortise and tenon are assembled the first and second structural members interlock at said mating surface and said mating edge.
A joint for securing three structural members together at right angles, said joint comprising a mortise and two tenons, wherein
- said mortise in a first structural member is defined by two V-shaped groove portions at right angles to each other of a given width terminating in two opposing face portions perpendicular to two mating surfaces of the first structural member,
- said tenons in a second and third structural member are defined by a V-shaped projection portion of a given width terminating in two opposing face portions parallel to a mating edge of the second and third structural members, and
- said V-shaped projection portion of the tenons is further defined by a 45 degree face perpendicular to the mating edge of the second structural member reaching from one opposing face portion to a point in the middle of the tenon, such that when the mortise and two tenons are assembled the three structural members interlock at said mating surface and said mating edges.
A joint for securing three structural members together at non-right angles, said joint comprising a mortise and two tenons, wherein
- said mortise in a first structural member is defined by two V-shaped groove portions at non-right angles to each other of a given width terminating in two opposing face portions perpendicular to two mating surfaces of the first structural member,
- said tenons in a second and third structural member are defined by a V-shaped projection portion of a given width terminating in two opposing face portions parallel to a mating edge of the second and third structural members, and
- said V-shaped projection portion of the tenons is further defined by an angled face perpendicular to the mating edge of the second structural member reaching from one opposing face portion to a point on a distal edge of the V-shaped projection portion, such that when the mortise and two tenons are assembled the three structural members interlock at said mating surface and said mating edges.
