Claim 5

In a knockdown furniture assembly extending along each of two juxtaposed walls disposed perpendicularly to each other at the corner of a room, comprising a. an independently self-sustaining vertical skeletal support adapted to be fixed detachably between the floor and ceiling of a room, in a plane parallel to each wall and adjacent to said corner, b. said support comprising two pairs of vertical standards displaced a substantial distance from each other, with the standards of each pair spaced from each other by a relatively small gap, and with the respective standard of each pair being in alignment with the respective standard of the widely displaced pair, c. substantially horizontal connecting bars at least at the top and bottom of said skeletal support in the gaps between the vertical standards, and spanning said substantial distance between said pairs of standards, d. elongate fastening means extending through said vertical standards and horizontal connecting bars for integrating said skeletal vertical support, e. each pair of said vertical standards having a plurality of equidistantly displaced coaxial openings at common levels in planes perpendicular to that of said skeletal support, for selectively receiving cylindrical rods adapted to bridge the small gaps therebetween, f. a supporting bar having notches in the bottom edge adjacent to the opposite ends thereof and displaced from each other a distance corresponding to the spacing between said planes, for engaging the cylindrical rods on a common level, passing through each pair of standards, g. floor engaging means at the bottom end of said skeletal support, h. adjustable clamping means at the upper end of said skeletal support for fixing said skeletal support between the floor and ceiling of the room, and i. a polygonal shelf adapted to have adjacent perpeneicular edges resting on the supporting bars on the same level in said skeletal supports adjacent to the corner of the room.

Claim 6

In a knockdown furniture assembly extending along each of two juxtaposed walls disposed perpendicularly to each other at the corner of a room, comprising a. an independently self-sustaining vertical skeletal support adapted to be fixed detachably between the floor and ceiling of a room, in a plane parallel to each wall and adjacent to said corner, b. said support comprising two pairs of vertical standards displaced a substantial distance from each other, with the standards of each pair spaced from each other by a relatively small gap, and with the respective standard of each pair being in alignment with the respective standard of the widely displaced pair, c. substantially horizontal connecting bars at least at the top and bottom of said skeletal support in the gaps between the vertical standards, and spanning said substantial distance between said pairs of standards, d. elongate fastening means extending through said vertical standards and horizontal connecting bars for integrating said skeletal vertical support, e. each pair of said vertical standards having a plurality of equidistantly displaced coaxial openings at common levels in planes perpendicular to that of said skeletal support, for selectively receiving cylindrical rods adapted to bridge the small gaps therebetween, f. a supporting bar having notches in the bottom edge adjacent to the opposite ends thereof and displaced from each other a distance corresponding to the spacing between said planes, for engaging the cylindrical rods on a common level, passing through each pair of standards, g. floor engaging means at the bottom end of said skeletal support, h. adjustable clamping means at the upper end of said skeletal support for fixing said skeletal support between the floor and ceiling of the room, and i. a polygonal shelf adapted to have adjacent perpeneicular edges resting on the supporting bars on the same level in said skeletal supports adjacent to the corner of the room.

Claim 7

A knockdown furniture assembly extending along two juxtaposed walls disposed perpendicularly to each other at the corner of a room, comprising a. a pair of independently self-sustaining vertical skeletal supports adapted to be laterally spaced a predetermined distance from each other and adapted to be detachably fixed in place between the floor and ceiling of a room, b. each vertical support comprised of a pair of vertical members both at the front and rear thereof with a gap between each pair of members, and provided with a plurality of transverse cylindrical openings in planes perpendicular to that of said skeletal support and spaced equidistantly along the length thereof, said openings being in alignment in each pair of vertical members, c. substantially horizontal connecting bars at the top and bottom of each vertical support extending between the front and rear vertical members within the gap of each member, d. means for rigidly fastening the opposite ends of each connecting bar to the pairs of said vertical members, e, a plurality of cylindrical rods adapted to be inserted into a plurality of aligned pairs of said cylindrical openings in said vertical members, f. a supporting element of a width narrower than said gap and provided with notches in the bottom edge thereof at a displacement corresponding to the spacing between the cylindrical rods in the front and rear pairs of vertical members, for detachable seating on said cylindrical rods, g. a detachable shelf adapted to rest upon a pair of said supporting elements, h. a vertical post adapted to be fixed detachably between the floor and ceiling in the corner of said room and provided with openings therein at spaced levels thereof corresponding to the levels of the transverse cylindrical openings in each vertical skeletal support, and i. a polygonal shelf adapted to have the free edges thereof resting on a supporting element on the same level mounted in each skeletal support adjacent said corner and extending perpendicularly from the walls of the room, and the inner portion of said shelf adapted to rest on a cylindrical rod detachably mounted in an opening of said vertical post at said same level.

Claim 8

A knockdown furniture assembly extending along two juxtaposed walls disposed perpendicularly to each other at the corner of a room, comprising a. a pair of independently self-sustaining vertical skeletal supports adapted to be laterally spaced a predetermined distance from each other and adapted to be detachably fixed in place between the floor and ceiling of a room, b. each vertical support comprised of a pair of vertical members both at the front and rear thereof with a gap between each pair of members, and provided with a plurality of transverse cylindrical openings in planes perpendicular to that of said skeletal support and spaced equidistantly along the length thereof, said openings being in alignment in each pair of vertical members, c. substantially horizontal connecting bars at the top and bottom of each vertical support extending between the front and rear vertical members within the gap of each member, d. means for rigidly fastening the opposite ends of each connecting bar to the pairs of said vertical members, e, a plurality of cylindrical rods adapted to be inserted into a plurality of aligned pairs of said cylindrical openings in said vertical members, f. a supporting element of a width narrower than said gap and provided with notches in the bottom edge thereof at a displacement corresponding to the spacing between the cylindrical rods in the front and rear pairs of vertical members, for detachable seating on said cylindrical rods, g. a detachable shelf adapted to rest upon a pair of said supporting elements, h. a vertical post adapted to be fixed detachably between the floor and ceiling in the corner of said room and provided with openings therein at spaced levels thereof corresponding to the levels of the transverse cylindrical openings in each vertical skeletal support, and i. a polygonal shelf adapted to have the free edges thereof resting on a supporting element on the same level mounted in each skeletal support adjacent said corner and extending perpendicularly from the walls of the room, and the inner portion of said shelf adapted to rest on a cylindrical rod detachably mounted in an opening of said vertical post at said same level.
