ABSTRACT:
A joint for a knock-down furniture assembly including a rod which has a slip fitting engagement with a bushing. The rod is affixed to one component of the furniture and the bushing to another component. In one embodiment, the rod has a head which fits within a hole in a first wood component and is captured by means of cured epoxy resin introduced into the hole or on an immediate adjacent portion of the rod shank. Set screws are threaded into tapped holes in the side wall of the bushing and are accessible through aligned holes in the second wood component for actuation by polygonally shaped wrench engaging similarly shaped sockets in the ends of the set screws for tightening against the inserted rod shank thereby to lock the two components in assembly and for loosening to unlock them. In another embodiment, the rod is an octagonal rod which slip fits into a square tube. The octagonal rod includes a transverse threaded bore into which a set screw is inserted. The tube includes an access opening for the set screw. The set screw forces two sides of the octagonal rod against two sides of the square tube for perfect alignment of the sides of the rod and tube.
