The structure comprises a tubular metal supporting frame; and a first and a second structural members carried on selected portions thereof. The second member is slidable along the frame to form a gravity-controlled locking engagement therewith and also to allow the first member to be placed in position thereby instantly completing the assembly of the structure.
CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION
This is a continuation-in-part of our pending application Ser. No. 264,207, filed June 19, 1972, now U.S. Pat. No. 3,845,988. We hereby incorporate this application by reference.
A seat-back unit for a chair utilizes pre-flexed sheets of sinuous spring wire material connected to relatively rigid side support members which afford flexibility, but provide a frame for the unit. The two L-shaped side support members are held apart by a rigid cross stretcher member positioned in the seat portion, near the back. The seat-back unit is connected to a chair frame at only four points in a "cradling" arrangement, by means of a pair of hooks extending back from the tops of the relatively rigid members, received in slots of the chair frame, and by bolted connections of the relatively rigid members at the front of the seat portion to the chair frame. The seat-back unit, and particularly the relatively rigid frame members, are put into a pre-stressed condition as the seat portion is connected to the chair frame. Covering material, which may be removable, is positioned over the seat-back unit. A simple chair frame structure is preferably used, with an X-shaped bracing configuration at the bottom and four upright legs. This may be accomplished with two tubular members, each formed into a front and a rear leg, and an angled portion of a brace, with the portions connected together centrally.
The invention relates to a modular furniture assembly that is convenient and versatile. One embodiment of the modular furniture assembly comprises a base and a transverse member manually, detachably coupled to the base by a coupler. The base and the transverse member have a defined spatial relationship which enables a variety of different types, configurations and sizes of furniture assemblies to be formed therefrom. Further, the base is configured such that the transverse member can be coupled to the base in a first position to form a first furniture assembly, and can be coupled to the base in a second position to form a second furniture assembly.
