Abstract: A furniture construction is provided wherein a first tubular member is joined at an end to the side of a second tubular member. A tubular fitting having a first end portion and a second end portion has an outside diameter substantially matching the inside diameter of the first tubular member. The first end portion of the fitting is received into the end of the first tubular member in a snuggly interfitted relationship. Apertures in the fitting align with apertures in the first tubular member to receive fastening means. The second end portion of the fitting is received by the second tubular member through a bore in the side of the second tubular member. The second end portion of the fitting abuts and is contoured to match the interior contour of the second tubular member such that the second end portion is substantially completely in contact with the interior contour of the second tubular member.

Abstract: An integrally molded plastic baseball glove utilizable in the game of baseball as a catching device for protecting the hand. The final molded article has the aesthetic appearance of a leather baseball glove. The method of making includes first molding a hollow plastic shell which forms exterior convex front and back surfaces of the baseball glove, the shell front and back surface having exterior, shaped-segments including patterned depressions and protuberances which form outlines delineating the fingers and thumb areas of the glove, a pair of webs between the thumb and index finger areas, an additional surface including cut out lines and lacing to make it look like a leather glove. The shell may be molded utilizing slush, rotation or blow-injection techniques. The mold face itself that forms the front glove shell exterior surface is not an exact replica of the final glove form but is distorted in surface configuration such that the front exterior surface when molded is convex overall.
