  • Patent number: 6045290
    Abstract: A corner joint in a frame, especially for joining furniture parts. The joint has first and second board-like members each of which have end portions. The first member has a long edge and a projecting part in its end portion. The second member has a mortise in its end portion into which the projecting part engages. A stud secures the first and second members together. The projecting part and mortise are each wedge-shaped, with the second member having an end face. The end portion of the first member comprises a box-shaped projection having an outer side face that is formed with holes. A longitudinal axis of the stud extends through a hole in the box-shaped projection and through the end face of the second member, with the stud intersecting the projecting part. This construction enables the corner joint to be easily separated without damaging the members.
