Abstract: An arrangement of pins and open-mouthed slots provide an apparatus for interconnecting furniture modules to form a sectional sofa in order to enable rapid and easy blind connection, while permitting both ease in disconnection and elimination of stresses on the frames of adjoining sections, through the camming and interlocking action between pins and slots on rails on the respective adjacent modules.

Abstract: A fluid-resistant, upholstered furniture seat is adapted to aid housekeeping and includes a backrest portion, a removable seat portion and a seat portion support frame. The removable seat portion includes a monolithic fluid barrier, either in the form of an upholstery cover or a laminate, disposed over a seat cushion. Fluids spilled on the seat portion are not absorbed by the seat cushion and can easily be cleaned up. The seat portion support frame is formed to provide at least one large opening therein so that when the seat portion is removed, access is provided to the floor area under the furniture seat for easy cleaning.
