ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a device for coupling a corner strut with lateral struts by assembling them through coupling stands, and more particularly, to a device for coupling a corner strut with lateral struts by assembling coupling stands which have the lateral struts connected therewith by bolts together with the corner strut promptly and correctly by bolts.
2. Description of the Related Art
The present invention relates to a device for coupling a corner strut with lateral struts by assembling them through coupling stands, and more particularly, to a device for coupling a corner strut with lateral struts. The said device is available for interior designs, desks, tables, various structures of aluminum material, display stands, showcases, and the like.
Most of conventional desks, tables, racks, display stands, and showcases having aluminum structures and the like are of a fixed type. Typically, metal products are fixed by welding or bolting connecting parts, and wood product are nailed or bolted. Other prior art is considerably convenient and ideal, but it requires a separate assembly having a square sleeve shape and therefore, different assemblies are separately needed according to the respective size, shape, pattern, etc. of struts, causing a high cost therefor which prevents the prior art from being widely available for various applications.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
Therefore, an objective of the present invention is to provide a device for coupling a corner strut with lateral struts by assembling them through coupling stands, which removes and/or compliments fundamentally all the deficiencies of the conventional technology. This device comprises a corner strut
1
which has folding planes
2
and
2
′ therein, a connecting plane
3
and bolt holes
4
,
5
, and
5
′, solid coupling stands
6
and
6
′ having a bearing face
7
therewith, and lateral struts
11
and
11
′ having supporting projections
14
and
14
′ therein. The said coupling stands
6
and
6
′ are connected with the said lateral struts
11
and
11
′ by inserting bolts
15
and
15
′ into bolt holes
9
and
9
′ and tightening them to flutes
12
,
12
′,
13
, and
13
′ of the lateral struts. Then, the said coupling stands having the said lateral struts connected therewith are combined with the said corner strut by connecting the said bearing face
7
of the said coupling stands with the said connecting plane
3
of the said corner strut
1
by tightening bolts
10
, wherein the said coupling stands are facing the folding planes
2
and
2
′ of the said corner strut
1
.
Another objective is a device for supporting lateral struts comprising a corner strut having a first folding plane, a second folding plane, and a connecting plane disposed between the first and second folding planes. The device further includes a support having a first coupling stand and a second coupling stand for attachment to the lateral struts wherein the coupling stands are parallel to the first and second folding planes, respectively, and are interconnected by a bearing face which is substantially parallel to the connecting plane. The bearing face of the support is removably affixed to the connecting plane.
These and other features, advantages and objects of the present invention will be further understood and appreciated by those skilled in the art by reference to the following specification, claims and appended drawings.
