Filed Oct. 2, 1958, Ser. No. 764,831 Claims. (Cl. 311-114) This invention relates to the structure of disengageable legs, and has been developed primarily for use in conjunction with various items of household furniture. Shipping and storage cost result in placing a rather high value on compactness, and the removal of the legs will result in reducing the cubic feet of space required to accommodate the article in the warehouse or in a shipping van. In addition, the process of manufacture is considerably facilitated by processing the supporting legs separately from the remainder of the unit. The finishing requirements and procedures are usually considerably different because of the shapes of the surfaces involved, and the possibility of conducting all these operations on the legs in a separate production systemfollowed by shipping the legs in a package along with the unitresults in substantial economy. Experience has also established that the movementof the :main body of the article of furniture through the factory-produc- -tion lines without the attachment of thelegs guards against the possibility of-damaging the :legs or knocking them out of position. The removable leg arrangement provided by this invention not only includes these desirable characteristics, but also establishes a very durable supporting and sliding surface for the article of furniture after the legs have been removed. The several features of the invention will be analyzed in detail through a discussion of the particular embodiments illustrated in the accompanying drawings. In the drawings:
Figure 1' presents a side elevation of the supporting plate which is secured to the underside of the article of furniture. i
Figure 2 presents a plan view of :the .,.plates shown in Figure 1, Figures 1 and 2 being in projection.
Figure 3 is a section taken on the plade'dH-III of Figure 2.
Figure 4 illustrates the use of a .gage member for positioning the locking projections on'the upper end of the legs.
Figure 5 presents a side elevation of a leg unit detached from the base plate, and showing the screws which function as locking projections for engagement with the base plate.
Figure 6 is a view, partially in section, showing the engagement of the legwith the base plate.
Figure 7 is a view and front elevation illustrating the attachment of removable legs to a conventional television set.
Figure 8 is an enlarged view over that of Figure 7, and showing a corner of the unit adjacent the point of leg attachment.
Figure 9 illustrates the television set prior to the attachment of the legs, and in the condition which it will normally move through the assembly line which manufactures the case of the set.
Referring to the drawings, the base (or mounting) plate of the preferred form of the invention includes a peripheral flange 11 and a central area 12 which is offset from the plane of the mounting surface 13 estab- 2,973,233 Patented Feb. 28, 1961 lished by the flange 11.. The flange is pierced with the holes 1417 for receiving screws engaging the under-. side of thecase of an article of furniture such as the television set 18 shown'in Figures 7, 8, and 9. The central portion 12 of the mounting plate is provided with a pair of keyhole-shaped apertures each having a .large end as shown at 19 and 20, and a small end as indicated at 21 and 22. Portions of the material of the central portion 12 are displaced as shown at 23 and 24 to form a ramp extending toward the plane of the surface 13, proceeding in the direction from the large ends 19 and 20 towards the small ends 21 and 22. The large ends 19 and 20 receive the heads 25 and 26 of a pair of screws extending above the plane of the end 27 of the leg member 28, and rotation of the leg with respect to the plate about the axis of the leg results in moving the shanks 29 and 30 of the screws into the smaller ends 21 and 22, respectively, of the openings in the central part 12 of the plate. Movement of the heads into engagement with the ramp portions 22 and 23 results in pulling the end 27 of the leg-solidly into engagement with the portion 12 to remove all lost motion in the mounting of the leg. Preferably, the ramps should terminate in flattened areas to minimize a tendency for the leg to work loose. The underside of the heads 25 and 26 should be formed to a conical or rounded curvature to facilitate the movement of the heads on the ramps and avoid digging in.
To use the full effect ofa locking arrangement of this type, it is necessary to accurately establish the distance :betweenthe'end 27 of the leg and the underside of the heads 25 and 26. A procedure for accomplishing this is shown in Figure 4. A guage plate 31 having slots 32 and 33 is placed on the end of the leg 28, and the screws tightened so that the heads 25 and 26 come down into engagement with the plate 31. A torque-limiting screwdriver will serve to establish the necessary uniformity in the pressure with which the screws are driven into engagement with the guage plate. After the screws have been driven, the plate 31 is forcibly withdrawn.
During the process of manufacture, this surface 34 of the mounting plate provides a durable and effective siding face for supporting the case 18; and with these .auxiliary supporting surfaces exposed, the case may be slid back and forth on a floorwithout serious danger of damage. Alternatively, a set of casters may be provided with projections similar to those of the heads 25 and 26 for temporary engagementwith the mounting plates during the manufacturing operations. During the illustrative purposes only and are not to be considered 60- a limitation upon the scope of the appended claims. In these claims, it is my intent to claim the entire invention disclosed herein, except as I am limited by the prior art.
