ABSTRACT:
A vandal-resistant article of furniture comprises left and right mirror-image frames, and a seating area extending between and fastened to the seat portions of the left and right frames. Each frame includes a seat portion, a base portion, and a locking cap or spacer at the joint between the seat and base portions. Male portions of forward and rearward dovetail half-lap joints and forward and rearward fastener seats are formed in the lower surface of the seat portion. Female portions of the joints are formed at the upper end of the base portion and respectively matingly receive the male portions. The upper end of the base portion also includes a lateral rib or spaced shoulders offset from the male portions of the joints. Forward and rearward nut seats can be provided to prevent rotation of nuts seated therein. The optional locking cap includes a laterally-extending wedge portion inserted between the forward and rearward fastener seats and the lateral rib for aligning the seat and base portions. Forward and rearward fasteners are inserted through aligned notches or apertures formed in the lower surface of the seat portion at the fastener seats, in the spacer or the wedge portion of the locking cap, and in the upper end of the base portion.
