Description
BACKGROUND
Field of the Invention

The present invention relates generally to inner wall joints, and, in particular, to inner wall frames with grooves for attachment with sleeve joints for aluminum furniture.


Scope of the Prior Art

Previously, bolts or rivets have been used to connect aluminum parts in factory assembled furniture. As a result, a lot of space was required for the delivery and storage of the furniture. Or, if parts were taken for on-site assembly, equipment, mechanical tools, and professional technicians were required for the furniture's assembly or installation.


As cited in Chinese Petty Patent Application No. CN102635614A, the structure for connection by compression in line with the frame of the aluminum furniture cabinet with Frame I (1), which is equipped with vertical grooves and Frame II, which is placed horizontally, while Frame I and Frame II are connected together with connective parts. The structure of the connection is a compression of the frame of the aluminum furniture cabinet. The entire aluminum model can be used for direct assembly together with the middle of the frame in the vertical panels, the side panels, the upper panel, the lower or laminated panel, and can be used for manufacturing aluminum furniture full-scale. The disadvantage is the required use of bolts for attachment in assembly, so their use wastes time and requires the use of mechanical tools.


SUMMARY

The present disclosure satisfies the foregoing needs by providing, inter alia, a construction for addressing each of the foregoing desirable traits as well as methods of its use. The aluminum frame construction includes an inner wall frame with grooves for attachment with sleeve joints, preferably used for aluminum furniture. The result is furniture that is convenient and easy to assemble. There are fewer parts for assembly requiring the use of tenons for attachment to Frame 1 and mortises for attachment to Frame 2 for the assembly of Frames 1 and 2 together.


One aspect of present invention is directed at an inner wall frame with grooves for attachment with sleeve joints for aluminum furniture, comprised of Frame 1 (10) inside Vertical Wall 1 (11) and Vertical Wall 2 (12), which has Side 1 of Fin 1 (101A) and Side 2 of Fin 1 (101B) equipped with several Grooves 1 (111) functioning to accept the insertion of the tenons (30). Frame 2 (20) on the inside of Vertical Wall 3 (13) and Vertical Wall 4 (14) is equipped with Side 1 of Fin 2 (102A), and Side 2 of Fin 2 (102B), which is equipped with several Grooves 2 (222) functioning to accept the insertion of the tenons (30). The tenons (30) on the outside are equipped with Valve 1 (31) functioning to be inserted into Groove 1 (111) of Frame 1 (10) and Groove 2 (222) of Frame 2 (20). The tenons (30) on the outside are equipped with Valve 2 (32) functioning to be inserted into Groove 1 (111) of Frame 1 (10) and Groove 2 (222) of Frame 2 (20). Several tenons (30) function to be assembled with several Frames 1 (10), and several Frames 2 (20) together to form a framework.
