Abstract
Abstract As a preferred embodiment of the invention disclosed herein, a pair of outstanding longitudinal projections or parallel flanges are arranged along the concave rearward face of an elongated banding strip of a deformable material, with one of these flanges being centrally located in relation to the width of the strip and the other of these flanges being located parallel and adjacent to one edge thereof. An article of furniture, such as a chair or table, having a horizontal planar member with an exposed upright edge is prepared for mounting of this elongated strip by cutting an elongated groove along the exposed edge that is parallel to the upper and lower surfaces of the member and sized for receiving the central flange of the banding strip. The elongated strip is then flattened along the exposed grooved edge with its central flange being pressed into the groove and its marginal flange overlapping the underside of the planar member. Once the banding strip is in position, fasteners are driven upwardly at spaced intervals through the marginal flange of the strip into the lower portion of the furniture member and to a depth sufficient to fully penetrate the centrally located flange in the groove and enter the upper portion of the furniture member.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
189 words
An article of furniture including: a member having upper and lower generally horizontal surfaces spaced from one another and terminating at a vertical edge surface having a horizontal groove therein extending along said edge surface between and parallel to said upper and lower surfaces; a plurality of upright legs dependently coupled to said member; an elongated strip of a resilient material disposed horizontally along said edge surface, said elongated strip having an attractive forward face and a normally concave rearward face with first and second paralleled flanges projecting rearwardly therefrom along the length of said strip, said first flange partially overlapping said lower surface, said second flange being between the upper and lower edges of said strip and disposed within said horizontal groove; and a plurality of fasteners at spaced intervals along the length of said first flange, each of said fasteners being driven upwardly through said first flange into said lower surface and on through said second flange within said horizontal groove for maintaining said rearward face flattened against said edge surface and resiliently urging said upper strip edge rearwardly against the upper portion of said edge surface.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
189 words
An article of furniture including: a member having upper and lower generally horizontal surfaces spaced from one another and terminating at a vertical edge surface having a horizontal groove therein extending along said edge surface between and parallel to said upper and lower surfaces; a plurality of upright legs dependently coupled to said member; an elongated strip of a resilient material disposed horizontally along said edge surface, said elongated strip having an attractive forward face and a normally concave rearward face with first and second paralleled flanges projecting rearwardly therefrom along the length of said strip, said first flange partially overlapping said lower surface, said second flange being between the upper and lower edges of said strip and disposed within said horizontal groove; and a plurality of fasteners at spaced intervals along the length of said first flange, each of said fasteners being driven upwardly through said first flange into said lower surface and on through said second flange within said horizontal groove for maintaining said rearward face flattened against said edge surface and resiliently urging said upper strip edge rearwardly against the upper portion of said edge surface.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
34 words
The article of furniture of claim 1 further including: at least one wedge-shaped outstanding projection extending along said second flange anD sized and adapted for snugly retaining said second flange within said horizontal groove.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
204 words
A table including: a tabletop having upper and lower spaced surfaces generally parallel to one another and bounded by peripheral edge surfaces respectively having an outwardly facing groove therein extending around said tabletop midway between and parallel to said upper and lower surfaces; a plurality of upright legs dependently coupled to said tabletop; an elongated strip of a resilient material disposed around said peripheral edge surfaces, said elongated strip having an attractive outer face and normally concave inner face with first and second paralleled flanges projecting inwardly therefrom along the length of said strip, said first flange being extended across and overlapping the contiguous portions of said lower table surface, said second flange being between the upper and lower edges of said strip and snugly fitted within said outwardly facing grooves; and a plurality of fasteners at spaced intervals along the length of said first flange, each of said fasteners being driven through said first flange into said contiguous portions of said lower table surface and on through said second flange within said outwardly facing grooves for maintaining said inner face flattened against said peripheral edge surfaces to resiliently urge said upper strip edge inwardly against the upper portions of said peripheral edge surfaces.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
204 words
A table including: a tabletop having upper and lower spaced surfaces generally parallel to one another and bounded by peripheral edge surfaces respectively having an outwardly facing groove therein extending around said tabletop midway between and parallel to said upper and lower surfaces; a plurality of upright legs dependently coupled to said tabletop; an elongated strip of a resilient material disposed around said peripheral edge surfaces, said elongated strip having an attractive outer face and normally concave inner face with first and second paralleled flanges projecting inwardly therefrom along the length of said strip, said first flange being extended across and overlapping the contiguous portions of said lower table surface, said second flange being between the upper and lower edges of said strip and snugly fitted within said outwardly facing grooves; and a plurality of fasteners at spaced intervals along the length of said first flange, each of said fasteners being driven through said first flange into said contiguous portions of said lower table surface and on through said second flange within said outwardly facing grooves for maintaining said inner face flattened against said peripheral edge surfaces to resiliently urge said upper strip edge inwardly against the upper portions of said peripheral edge surfaces.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
33 words
The table of claim 3 further including: at least one wedge-shaped outstanding projection extending along said second flange and sized and adapted for snugly retaining said second flange within said outwardly facing grooves.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
205 words
A chair including: a seat having upper and lower spaced surfaces generally parallel to one another and bounded by peripheral edge surfaces respectively having an outwardly facing groove therein extending around said chair midway between and parallel to said upper and lower surfaces; a plurality of upright legs dependently coupled to said chair seat; an elongated strip of a resilient material disposed around said peripheral edge surfaces, said elongated strip having an attractive outer face and normally concave inner face with first and second paralleled flanges projecting inwardly therefrom along the length of said strip, said first flange being extended across and overlapping the contiguous portions of said lower seat surface, said second flange being between the upper and lower edges of said strip and snugly fitted within said outwardly facing grooves; and a plurality of fasteners at spaced intervals along the length of said first flange, each of said fasteners being driven through said first flange into said contiguous portions of said lower seat surface and on through said second flange within said outwardly facing grooves for maintaining said inner face flattened against said peripheral edge surfaces to resiliently urge said upper strip edge inwardly against the upper portion of said peripheral edge surfaces.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
