Angled double tenon connector - fits between tubular members of table frame uniting two square section table top supports and forming leg section seat

摘要

The angled double tenon (13) connector is for joining the tubular members (11, 12) of a table support frame. Two square hollow section members (11) of a subtable top (10) ring frame are joined to a tubular leg (12) at a table corner. The connector is of approx. 'L' shape with each of the legs (13) entering the end of a conjunctive ring frame member (11). The external angle is contoured (30) to form a concave seat for the leg section (12). In plan the tenons (13) subtend the angle required between the ring frame members (11), and a fillet (F) in the internal angle affects node enlargement to accommodate the leg seat (30). The fillet (F) is normal to the bisectrice of the inter-tenon angle, and the ring frame members are chamfer cut to a but (31) the leg section on the external elevation. The radius of the leg seat (30) may be reduced relative to that of the leg (12) which is fixed by a diametric bolt (14).
