Abstract

A kit for modular assembly of a piece of furniture “in situ” that comprises lower, intermediate, and upper main support members. Each of the main support members includes insertion slots with chamfered edges that are oriented at different angles in the periphery. The lower main support member has first and second foot slots that include locking ends. A plurality of cantilevered members having open insertion slots with chamfered edges each have a front fit-in section and a rear insertion section that end in an insertion stop. The open insertion slots are disposed in the periphery of the cantilevered members so that they may engage the oriented insertion slots. The first and second foot members are configured to engage first and second foot slots. The main support members have mutual engagement means that include coupling members and fastening openings for structural assembly of a piece of furniture.

Dependent claims

A kit for modular assembly of a piece of furniture “in situ” comprising:

a main support member;
a plurality of cantilevered members;
and,
at least one foot member;
the main support member having a plurality of first insertion slots with chamfered edges, each of the plurality of first insertion slots being oriented at an angle and configured to slidingly engage a second insertion slot with chamfered edges that is formed in at least one of the plurality of cantilevered members, the second insertion slot having a front fit-in section and a rear insertion section that ends in an insertion stop,
the at least one foot member having at least one third insertion slot with chamfered edges that is configured to slidingly engage at least one fourth insertion slot with chamfered edges that is formed in at least one first foot slot, a front section of the at least one first foot slot is oriented to engage a locking end of the at least one foot member, and
