AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The present invention is an extendable bookcase that can be joined together to appear as one bookcase instead of two bookcases. The bookcase extension section can be attached to the basic bookcase section and any number of corner sections can also be attached to create a bookcase that wraps around a corner or is designed for a specific corner. The bookcase extension section and corner sections can each be made in practically any width and can conform to any corner or curve. The technical effects of this invention include the ability to create a flexible and customizable bookcase system that can be joined together to appear as one bookcase and can have corners that are designed specifically for the user's needs.

Problems solved by technology

The extra width of the two-section bookcase and the three-section bookcase results in corresponding extra weight and bulk.
This extra weight and bulk makes each two-section and three-section bookcase relatively difficult to handle during shipment and installation.
