[0025] Referring to the drawings, the present invention includes a plurality of furniture panels (121) forming the body of the furniture, and a connecting bracket (130) disposed between the surfaces of the plurality of furniture panels (121) to be connected to each other.

[0026] At this time, the connecting bracket (130), which is the main part of the present invention, includes a connecting support bracket piece (132) and a pair of bending support bracket pieces (134). The connecting support bracket piece (132) and the pair of bending support bracket pieces (134), which are the main parts of the connecting bracket (130), are formed by processing a metal plate into an L-shape and precisely bending a specific part of the metal plate in a right-angle direction, thereby configuring the connecting bracket (130) to have the connecting support bracket piece (132) and the bending support bracket piece (134).

[0027] The connecting support bracket piece (132) for forming the above connecting bracket (130) is formed in an L-shape and is configured to be in close contact with the inner surface of a plurality of the furniture panels (121) to be connected to each other. When viewing the connecting bracket (130) from the inside or outside, the connecting support bracket piece (132) is formed in an L-shape.

[0028] The above-mentioned bending support bracket piece (134) is bent in a direction intersecting the connecting support bracket piece (132) and arranged in an L-shape. As described above, a metal plate can be bent to form a pair of bent bending support bracket pieces (134) in a direction intersecting the connecting support bracket piece (132). When viewing the connecting bracket (130) from the inside or outside, a pair of bending support bracket pieces (134) are arranged in an L-shape. The pair of bending support bracket pieces (134) are parts that contact the inside surface of two furniture panels (121) arranged in a right-angle direction (i.e., arranged in an L-shape) to be connected to each other. That is, the present invention includes a pair of bending support bracket pieces (134) that contact the joint surface of each fastener (142) of two furniture panels (121) arranged to intersect in an L-shape among a plurality of furniture panels (121).

[0029] The present invention is characterized by being configured such that a pair of the above-mentioned bending support bracket pieces (134) are fixed by the fasteners (142) to the respective fastener connection surfaces of the two furniture panels (121) arranged to intersect in an L-shape, thereby forming the body of the furniture in which a plurality of furniture panels (121) are connected.

[0030] Meanwhile, in the present invention, a reinforcing beam (152) is placed on the inner surface of each of the two furniture panels (121) arranged to intersect in an L-shape, and the two reinforcing beams (152) are arranged to intersect in an L-shape. An insertion groove is formed between the two ends of the reinforcing beams (152) and the inner ends of the two furniture panels (121), and the connecting support bracket piece (132) of the connecting bracket (130) is inserted into the insertion groove so that the connecting bracket (130) firmly supports the two furniture panels (121) arranged in an L-shape intersecting arrangement. The insertion groove is secured by cutting the two ends of the reinforcing beams (152) by a certain width and placing the insertion groove between the inner surface of the panel-side connecting support bar (123) on the inner surface of the two furniture panels (121) arranged perpendicular to the reinforcing beams (152).

[0031] The connecting support bracket piece (132) of the connecting bracket (130) is inserted into the insertion groove, and the pair of bending support bracket pieces (134) are in contact with each panel-side connecting support bar (123) on the inner surface of two furniture panels (121) arranged perpendicularly to each other. By fixing the pair of bending support bracket pieces (134) to the pair of panel-side connecting support bars (123) by means of a fastening member (142), such as a fastening bolt, the two furniture panels (121) arranged in a direction intersecting the connecting bracket (130) (mainly arranged in a direction perpendicular to each other) can be assembled by means of the connecting bracket (130) and the fastening member (142). That is, in the present invention, a connecting support bracket piece (132), which is the main part of the connecting bracket (130), is positioned between the inner ends of two furniture panels (121), and a pair of bending support bracket pieces (134) are fixed to the inner surfaces of the two intersecting furniture panels (121) by means of a fastener (142), thereby forming a piece of furniture in which multiple furniture panels (121) are firmly assembled by means of the connecting bracket (130) and the fastener (142). For example, a computer desk can be assembled by firmly assembling the desk top and leg panels of a computer desk, which is a type of furniture, by means of the connecting bracket (130) and the fastener (142).

[0032] At this time, the upper portion of one of the two intersecting furniture panels (121) can be configured to be joined to the inner surface of the other furniture panel (121) by a headless bolt (HLB).

[0033] Additionally, the lower surface of the bottom furniture panel (121BP) constituting the furniture may be configured to have a leg piece (LP) with a friction pad (MP) attached to it. The friction pad (MP) on the lower surface of the leg piece (LP) comes into contact with the ground at the furniture installation location.

[0034] In the present invention, the connecting support bracket piece (132) is formed in an L-shape and supports two L-shaped furniture panels (121) on the inner side, thereby preventing the two furniture panels (121) from being pushed inward, and the pair of bending support bracket pieces (134) support the joining surface of the fasteners (142) of the two panels, thereby preventing the two furniture panels (121) from being pushed inward toward each other.

[0035] Accordingly, the present invention has the effect of solving the problem of deformation occurring, such as the connecting bracket (130) bending due to external force during furniture use after furniture assembly, and prevents various cases such as furniture deformation, such as the inability to properly maintain the shape of the furniture, shaking of each connecting panel part of the furniture, and weakening of the furniture structure, by ensuring that the metal connecting bracket (130) connecting the furniture panels (121) forming the furniture does not bend.

[0036] In particular, in the present invention, the connecting bracket (130) is improved by bending it, and through this bending structure, a plurality of furniture panels (121) forming a furniture body can be stably connected. The meaning of improving the connecting bracket (130) by bending it is that a pair of the bending support bracket pieces (134) are formed by bending them in a direction intersecting the connecting support bracket piece (132), and by improving the connecting bracket (130) by bending it in this way, a plurality of furniture panels (121) forming a furniture body can be stably connected.

[0037] Meanwhile, the area between the above-mentioned connecting support bracket piece (132) and the above-mentioned bending support bracket piece (134) is formed by a curved bending portion (135).

[0038] Accordingly, since a curved bending portion (135) is formed during the process of bending the bending support bracket piece (134) in a direction intersecting the connection support bracket piece (132) of the connection bracket (130), the process of bending the bending support bracket piece (134) from the connection support bracket piece (132) is made easier.

[0039] Additionally, a diagonal surface (134SL) is provided on the first end (134FE) of a pair of the above-mentioned bending support bracket pieces (134). The diagonal surface (134SL) is a surface formed as an inclined surface by cutting off a portion of the first end (134FE), which is the inner end of the above-mentioned bending support bracket piece (134).

[0040] Therefore, when handling the above-mentioned connecting bracket (130), the user's hand does not come into contact with the pointed end of the first end (134FE) but rather with the diagonal surface (134SL), thereby preventing the user's hand from coming into contact with the pointed end of the first end (134FE) and sustaining an injury.

[0041] In addition, in the present invention, a curved portion (134CF) is provided at the outer end of a pair of bending support bracket pieces (134). The end portion of a pair of bending support bracket pieces (134) is formed by a curved portion (134CF). A pair of bending support

[0042] Therefore, when handling the above-mentioned connecting bracket (130), the user's hand does not come into contact with the pointed end of the second end (134SE) but comes into contact with the curved part (134CF), thereby preventing the user's hand from coming into contact with the pointed end of the second end (134SE) and getting injured.

[0043] In addition, in the present invention, a reinforcing beam (152) is placed on the inner surface of each of the two furniture panels (121) arranged to intersect in an L-shape, and an L-shaped metal reinforcing support bracket (162) is placed on the two reinforcing beams (152) arranged to intersect in an L-shape, and the reinforcing support bracket (162) is connected to the two reinforcing beams (152) by a fastener (142).

[0044] Therefore, since the reinforcing support bracket (162) supports the middle portion of the two intersecting furniture panels (121) from the inner surface, it has the effect of further strengthening the connection joint structure of the two intersecting furniture panels (121).

[0045] In addition, in the present invention, the connecting support bracket piece (132), which is the main part of the connecting bracket (130), is further provided with a bending guide auxiliary groove (132SG) positioned next to the first end (134FE) of the bending support bracket piece (134).

[0046] Accordingly, when performing the operation of bending the bending support bracket piece (134) in a direction intersecting with the connecting support bracket piece (132), the bending support bracket piece (134) can be bent more easily and smoothly by means of the bending guide auxiliary groove (132SG), and as a result, the operation process of manufacturing the connecting bracket (130) can also be expected to be easier and smoother.

[0047] Meanwhile, FIG. 9 is a perspective view showing the structure of a connecting bracket, which is a main part of a furniture assembly structure according to another embodiment of the present invention; FIG. 10 is a perspective view showing the structure of a connecting bracket, which is a main part of a furniture assembly structure according to yet another embodiment of the present invention; FIG. 11 is a perspective view showing the connecting bracket of FIG. 10 from the outside; FIG. 12 is a drawing showing the connecting bracket of FIG. 10 from the outside front; and FIG. 13 is a drawing showing an enlarged view from the inside of the corner support block portion, which is a main part shown in FIG. 10 to FIG. 12.

[0048] Referring to the drawing, the present invention is characterized by further including a corner support auxiliary reinforcing piece (172) provided in the inner corner portion of the L-shaped connecting support bracket piece (132), which is the main part of the connecting bracket (130).

[0049] According to the present invention, the corner support auxiliary reinforcing member (172) supports the L-shaped connecting support bracket member (132) so that it remains more strongly connected at the inner corner portion. Therefore, even if the corner portion of the L-shaped connecting support bracket member (132) attempts to open due to an external force acting on the two intersecting furniture panels (121), the corner support auxiliary reinforcing member (172) stably connects and supports the corner portion of the connecting support bracket member (132). Thus, the effect of preventing the corner portion of the connecting support bracket member (132) of the connecting bracket (130) from opening or breaking due to the external force causing the two intersecting furniture panels (121) to open is achieved. Consequently, the effect of enabling the connecting bracket (130) to support the two intersecting furniture panels (121) in a more stable connected state is achieved.

[0050] Additionally, the present invention further includes a corner support block (182) interposed between the inner ends of a pair of bending support bracket pieces (134) of the connecting bracket (130), wherein the corner support block (182) is configured to have an L-shaped block-side corner support connecting piece on its inner surface, and the block-side corner support supporting piece (184) protrudes from both sides of the corner support block (182).

[0051] According to the present invention, both sides of the corner support block (182) are in contact with the first end (134FE) of a pair of bending support bracket pieces (134), and the L-shaped block-side corner support piece (184) is connected to a pair of bending support bracket pieces (134), which are the main parts of the connecting bracket (130), by a fastener (142).

[0052] Accordingly, since the corner support block (182) of the present invention stably supports the inner end of a pair of bending support bracket pieces (134) constituting the connecting bracket (130), even if the corner portion of the L-shaped connecting support bracket piece (132) attempts to fold inward due to an external force causing the two intersecting furniture panels (121) to move closer to each other, the corner support block (182) stably supports the inner end of the pair of bending support bracket pieces (134) of the connecting bracket (130). Therefore, the present invention has the effect of preventing the corner portion of the connecting support bracket piece (132) of the connecting bracket (130) and the pair of bending support bracket pieces (134) from being compressed or broken due to the force causing the two intersecting furniture panels (121) to fold together due to an external force. As a result, the two intersecting furniture By preventing the panels (121) from being pushed inward and deformed by an external force, the two cross-arranged furniture panels (121) can be supported more stably from the inside.
