An improved support leg attachment assembly is provided. The support leg attachment assembly enables an easy transition of a portable structure, having a leg portion and a supported portion, between a detached storage configuration and an attached operative configuration, stably supporting the supported portion on the leg portion. The support leg attachment assembly provides two tenons on a proximal end the leg portion, and two mortises recessed along the supported portion, the two tenons and mortises dimensioned and adapted to snugly nest only upon an application of an engagement angle. Each of the two tenons and mortises providing contrasting materials for facilitating a long-lasting, effective support leg attachment assembly.

A table frame for a table has a first column and a second column for supporting a table top, a cross member of hollow profile construction by which the first column and the second column are interconnected with each other and a first cantilever support mounted on the top end of the first column and a second cantilever support mounted on the top end of the second column. The first and the second column each have two projections at respective top ends thereof. The cross member, at each end section thereof, has a pair of oblong holes disposed on its lower side and through which the two projections of the respective column extend into the cross member. Each cantilever support has a first and a second flange which are arranged spaced-apart from one another, each of the flanges abutting the cross member on a lateral side portion thereof.

An one-piece corner connector for connecting two frame bars at right angles to one another includes a right-angle bracket having two angle legs, an intermediate plate, and two U-profile connecting pieces at right angles, having a middle leg and two side legs for insertion into the plug-in openings in the frame bars which are open at one end. The middle legs of the U-profile connecting pieces are formed on and run with their outer side parallel to the intermediate plate. The one outer side legs of the U-profile connecting pieces are each formed on one of the angle legs and run with their outer side parallel to the outer side of the angle leg. The other inner side legs of the U-profile connecting pieces are connected to one another by means of a wall element which is angled from the intermediate plate.

A connection assembly for securing a support member to a work surface (e.g., a table leg to a table top) that includes an attachment plate, a retainer, and a fitting. The attachment plate connects to a bottom surface of the table top, the fitting connects to an upper end of the table leg, and the retainer exerts a force on the fitting that helps absorb or take up tolerances within the connection assembly so that the support member is securely connected to the work surface. In one example, the retainer is a resilient component that is compressed between the fitting and a receiving portion of the attachment plate to help take up tolerances within the connection assembly, whereas in another example the retainer is a rotatable component that exerts a force against the fitting to address tolerances and the like. A method for providing a connection assembly is also disclosed.

The present invention relates to an interlocking means for connecting a first panel, second panel and a leg of a piece of furniture with each other, wherein the interlocking means comprises an elongated element and a brace element. The elongated element comprises a portion configured to be attached to a first surface of the first panel and a first surface of the second panel and either a securing means configured to receive an interconnection element protruding from the leg or an interconnection element configured to match a securing means formed in the leg. The brace element comprises a portion configured to be attached to a second surface of the first panel and a second surface of the second panel and a through opening configured to receive the interconnection element.

A coupling system between the frame and the leg assembly of a workstation is described. The coupling system can be configured to selectively attach and detach the leg assembly from the frame. The leg assembly can include an adjustment mechanism. The adjustment mechanism, can be configured to adjust the length of the leg. The leg assembly can include a leg coupling feature and the frame can have a frame coupling feature. The leg coupling feature can be configured to engage with the frame coupling feature, for instance to attach the leg to the frame. The workstation can include a latch configured to engage with the leg assembly. Engagement of the latch with the leg assembly can secure a position of the leg with respect to the frame.
