Abstract
Abstract A table construction including four plastic connectors, four tubular table top rods and four tubular table leg rods. Each connector includes two table top connecting stubs and a table leg connecting stub. Each end of a tubular table top rod is connected to a table top connecting stub of two different connectors. A tubular table leg rod is connected to the table leg connecting stub of each connector. Means is provided for preventing the tubular table rod elements from moving relative to the connector to which they are attached. Means is provided for supporting a sheet of glass.

Claim 1
Independent Claim
129 words
Apparatus comprising a one-piece plastic connector, said connector including a first stub, a second stub and a third stub, said first stub intersecting with said second stub and being perpendicular to said second stub, said third stub extending away from the intersection of said first and second stubs, means extending between said first and second stubs for supporting a plate of material and for use in securing tubular rods to said first and second stubs, a first tubular rod, said first tubular rod having an elongated axis and a first end and a second end, a slot located at said first end of said first tubular rod, said first end of said first tubular rod tightly surrounding said first stub with said extending means partially received in said slot.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
129 words
Apparatus comprising a one-piece plastic connector, said connector including a first stub, a second stub and a third stub, said first stub intersecting with said second stub and being perpendicular to said second stub, said third stub extending away from the intersection of said first and second stubs, means extending between said first and second stubs for supporting a plate of material and for use in securing tubular rods to said first and second stubs, a first tubular rod, said first tubular rod having an elongated axis and a first end and a second end, a slot located at said first end of said first tubular rod, said first end of said first tubular rod tightly surrounding said first stub with said extending means partially received in said slot.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
129 words
Apparatus comprising a one-piece plastic connector, said connector including a first stub, a second stub and a third stub, said first stub intersecting with said second stub and being perpendicular to said second stub, said third stub extending away from the intersection of said first and second stubs, means extending between said first and second stubs for supporting a plate of material and for use in securing tubular rods to said first and second stubs, a first tubular rod, said first tubular rod having an elongated axis and a first end and a second end, a slot located at said first end of said first tubular rod, said first end of said first tubular rod tightly surrounding said first stub with said extending means partially received in said slot.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
129 words
Apparatus comprising a one-piece plastic connector, said connector including a first stub, a second stub and a third stub, said first stub intersecting with said second stub and being perpendicular to said second stub, said third stub extending away from the intersection of said first and second stubs, means extending between said first and second stubs for supporting a plate of material and for use in securing tubular rods to said first and second stubs, a first tubular rod, said first tubular rod having an elongated axis and a first end and a second end, a slot located at said first end of said first tubular rod, said first end of said first tubular rod tightly surrounding said first stub with said extending means partially received in said slot.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
20 words
Apparatus according to claim 1 wherein said first tubular rod includes teeth at said slot which grip said extending means.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
19 words
Apparatus according to claim 2 wherein said first tubular rod includes a second end identical to said first end.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
22 words
Apparatus according to claim 1 wherein said first tubular rod has a square cross section and is made from a metal material.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
82 words
Apparatus according to claim 1 further including a second tubular rod, said second tubular rod including four sides, said third stub including four sides, said second tubular rod having a first end, said first end of said second tubular rod tightly surrounding said third stub, and means associated with said second tubular rod for cooperating with said first tubular rod to prevent removal of said second tubular rod from said connector unless said first tubular rod is first removed from said connector.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
128 words
Apparatus according to claim 4 further including a second tubular rod, said second tubular rod including four sides, said third stub including four sides, said second tubular rod including a first end, said first end of said second tubular rod tightly surrounding said third stub, said first stub including a first side wall and a second side wall, said first and second side walls being spaced from each other, said first stub including a top wall spanning said first and second side walls, an inverted U-shaped tab located at the first end of said second tubular rod, said tab including opposed first and second edges, said tab first edge abutting said first stub first side wall and said tab second edge abutting said first stub second side wall.
