Novel assembly key, door kits and methods of using the same

Abstract

The present document describes a key for releasably connecting members at a right angle, furniture and door assembly kits comprising keys, and members having mating connectors along their ends for releasably connecting said members at a right angle through their mating connectors.

Description

BACKGROUND[0001](a) Field[0002]This invention relates to the field of building materials. More particularly, it relates to a key for releasably connecting members at a right angle, and to a door assembly kit comprising keys and members releasably connecting to form a door assembly.[0003](b) Related Prior Art[0004]The assembly of building materials at a right angle is a challenging endeavour which is facilitated by specialized machinery and tools in industrial and manufacturing settings. However, such assembly remains difficult when performed in a household setting, especially by non-professional individuals.[0005]When a customer purchases furniture or other household material, they may be provided unassembled or only partially assembled, and the assembly of such material usually involves fasteners (e.g. screws, nails, and the like), and adhesives (e.g. glues). The assembly of furniture or material may require other means of assembly which are not normally available to the end purcha...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

"The patent text describes a key that can connect two objects at a right angle without using any adhesive, fasteners, or machines. The key has two mating connectors that fit into corresponding connectors on the objects. The key is made from a more resilient material than the objects themselves. The technical effect of this invention is that it provides a simple and efficient way to connect objects at a right angle without using any additional tools or materials."

Problems solved by technology

The assembly of building materials at a right angle is a challenging endeavour which is facilitated by specialized machinery and tools in industrial and manufacturing settings.

However, such assembly remains difficult when performed in a household setting, especially by non-professional individuals.

The assembly of furniture or material may require other means of assembly which are not normally available to the end purchaser of the products due to their specialized nature.

However, the disclosed door is assembled from numerous members that are irreversibly put together and do not provide the convenience of allowing disassembly of the door after assembly.
