Glued dowel joint for furniture - has transverse hole intersecting dowel hole to ensure adequate supply of glue

摘要

The chair leg (2) is joined to the chair frame (1) by a joint using three dowels (5). The dowels have longitudinal grooves (8) and fit in three holes 6) in the frame (2) and in three holes (7) in the leg (2). A transverse hole (9) intersects the three dowels holes (7) in the leg (2). The joint is first assembled dry and clamped together so that the faces (3) and (4) are in contact. Liquid glue is then injected through the opening (10) into the hole (9). The glue flows into the dowel holes (7) and along the grooves (8) into the dowel holes (6) to provide a secure joint.
