Abstract: An article of seating furniture, e.g., a chair, includes two substantially parallel panels arranged in spaced-apart generally vertical planes. Each panel is formed of a pressed composition wood product, e.g., particleboard or fiberboard. A plurality of connector strips extend between the two panels so as to interconnect the panels. Hardware for securing each end of each connector strip to one of the panels includes a pair of plates sandwiching the panel between them, and a plurality of fasteners extending through a plurality of aligned holes in each of the plates and the panel for tightly joining together the pair of plates and the panel sandwiched between the plates. One of each pair of plates is part of an angle, one wing of which is the plate and the other wing of which is attached to the connector strip. Preferable, three fasteners, which may be bolts, pass through each pair of plates in the panel located between the pair, and the three bolts are arranged in a triangular pattern.

Abstract: A protective book covering including a relatively long piece of sheet material and a relatively short piece of sheet material overlying the long piece, the longitudinal edges of the two sheets being sealed together. A seal and tear line extending transverse to their longitudinal edges joins the two pieces and forms a line of severance along which the pieces can be torn to produce two units, each unit having a pocket adjacent to the seal and tear line for accommodating one of the covers of a book. One of the units has a section, extending from the pocket of that unit, long enough to wrap around the spine of the book, and be secured to the other unit. The sheet material is preferably transparent plastic. The book covering can be made in a continuous manner by providing independent lengths of relatively wide and relatively narrow plastic sheet material, and placing the lengths in face-to-face contact so that their longitudinal axes extend in the same direction.
