ABSTRACT:
A furniture leg attached to the underside of the frame of a piece of furniture. The furniture leg has a vertical bore through which a bolt is threadedly screwed into an internally-threaded insert on the frame, entrapping the furniture leg between the head of the bolt and the frame. In some embodiments, at least one, and preferably two, teeth extend upwardly from the upper surface of the furniture leg and pierce through the upholstery and into the frame, preventing the furniture leg from rotating about the axis of the bolt. In other embodiments, at least one, and preferably two, corrugated joiners extend upwardly from the upper surface of the furniture leg and pierce through the upholstery and into the frame, preventing the furniture leg from rotating about the axis of the bolt. One of the corrugated joiners may span a seam between bondedly and abuttingly joined pieces of the furniture leg, thereby also providing additional structural joining of the pieces of the furniture leg. In another embodiment, coacting hook-and-loop fasteners or joiners, spaced from the axis of the bolt on the upper surface of the furniture leg and the undersurface of the piece of furniture, prevent rotation of the furniture leg. All embodiments simultaneously secure the leg from rotation as the bolt draws the leg to the frame.
