  • Patent number: 9125494
    Abstract: Modular ready to assembly furniture consists of components when assembled will embody a chair, sofa, loveseat or sofa sectional. These modular components which may include but not limited to arm component and back components. As one component consisting of a bolt with a flat bottom head protruding from the inside part at an angle relative to horizontal. The opposite component having a integrated keyhole slot consisting of a internal machined tapered ramp. The head of the bolt fits through internal keyhole slot. Thus the angle of the internal tapered ramp, corresponds to bottom flat side of the bolt head protruding at a precise angle relative to horizontal and being at the relative matching angle's, thus the back side of the bolt slides up the integrated tapered ramp. This action pulls together the components. When the flat bottom bolt head and the internal tapered ramp are fully seated the components will be held together at a precise and aligned position.

    Abstract: Modular ready to assembly furniture consists of components when assembled will embody a chair, sofa, loveseat or sofa sectional. These modular components include arm component and back component. The arm component having a bolt, consisting of a large round head protruding from the inside p of the arm. The back component having a keyhole slot along the side consisting of a internal tapered ramp. The head of the bolt fits through this keyhole slot. Thus the hea the bolt slides up the tapered ramp. This action pulls together both components. Wher fully seated the arm component and back component is held together at a precise and matching location. The new unique feature is the upper connection of the preferred embodiment that connects the arm and back. It is completely hidden after assembly and adjust for variances in materials and manufacturing. This special adjustable connector allows for quick self tightening engagement and precision alignment of the back and arms.
