Embodiment Construction

[0045] The present invention relates to modular furniture components that can be quickly and efficiently assembled, dismantled, rearranged, moved and cleaned with minimal effort. The invention further relates to modular furniture components having spatial relationships that enable a user to form a variety of different furniture components. In an exemplary embodiment, a modular furniture assembly includes a base, at least one cross member, and a coupler configured to removably couple the cross member to the base to form a chair. The configuration of the base and cross members enables the user to form a variety of different furniture assemblies.

[0046] The base serves as a support surface on which the user may sit, while the cross member serves as a leaning surface for the user's back or arms. The base is configured to enable the cross-members to be positioned adjacent the base in a plurality of locations and to enable the cross-members to be detachably coupled to the base to f...

Abstract

The invention relates to a modular furniture assembly that is convenient and versatile. One embodiment of the modular furniture assembly comprises a base and a transverse member manually, detachably coupled to the base by a coupler. The base and the transverse member have a defined spatial relationship which enables a variety of different types, configurations and sizes of furniture assemblies to be formed therefrom. Further, the base is configured such that the transverse member can be coupled to the base in a first position to form a first furniture assembly, and can be coupled to the base in a second position to form a second furniture assembly.

Description

[0001] related application [0002] This application is a continuation-in-part of US Patent Application Serial No. 11 / 149,913, "Modular Furniture Assembly," filed June 10, 2005, which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. technical field [0003] The invention relates to the field of furniture. In particular, the present invention relates to modular furniture components. Background technique [0004] A large number of furniture in various shapes and sizes have been introduced in recent years in order to provide comfort and decoration. Consumers love furniture that can serve multiple purposes and resist the wear and tear of everyday use without much care. Therefore, furniture that is versatile, durable and requires relatively little maintenance is desired. [0005] Once purchased, users want furniture that is already assembled, or that can be easily assembled. However, once assembled, most furniture cannot be easily disassembled. Many pieces of furniture a...
