  • Patent number: 4611943
    Abstract: A connector for assembling two furniture parts such as a tabletop and an associated table leg. The connector comprises a screw provided with a head and a relatively long shaft and a bushing with outer holding means and a through hole. The bushing is pivotally mounted on a smooth part of the shaft and is axially fixed as one terminal surface thereof abuts the head of the screw and the opposite terminal surface thereof optionally abuts a locking means projecting from the shaft. One of the terminal surfaces of the bushing comprises a contact knob delimiting the turning of the bushing relative to the screw to an angle less than 350.degree. when it abuts a stop projection projecting from the screw. When a table leg and a tabletop are to be assembled the bushing is initially turned into a hole in the table leg by means of a mounting tool.
