Kraft mortise and tenon assembly

摘要

A mortise and tenon assembly comprising the insertion of tenons of multilayered corrugated Kraft into mortises in panels of corrugated Kraft. The tenons have a folding flap and tuck slot that form an interlocking connection. The assembly is practical and easy for the user to construct without needing to use tools. It enables and facilitates the transport of the structures prior to assembly in parts arranged in a compact manner, occupying a relatively small space.

主权项

1. A mortise and tenon assembly for two substantially planar members, the assembly comprising:
a first member and a second member that each comprises at least two glued layers selected from corrugated Kraft layers and honeycomb Kraft layers; the first member has a first contacting edge, and a first planar surface, the first contacting edge and first planar surface forming a substantially right-angled corner, and the second member has an inner planar surface, an outer planar surface and a fold-over edge, the inner planar surface and the outer planar surface are substantially parallel to each other and connected by the fold-over edge, each planar surface forming a substantially right-angled edge with the fold-over edge; the first member has a tenon-flap assembly that extends from the first contacting edge, the tenon-flap assembly is comprised of a tenon and a flap, wherein the tenon comprises at least one layer selected from the group consisting of corrugated Kraft layer, and honeycomb Kraft layer, and wherein the flap comprises at least one corrugated Kraft layer, the tenon and flap assembly comprises a multi-layer corrugated Kraft assembly comprising both the tenon and flap that in combination have at least two corrugated Kraft layers in total, wherein the flap extends a longer length from the first contacting edge than the length that the tenon extends from the first contacting edge, the first member further comprises at least one tuck slot in proximity to the tenon, wherein the tuck slot is located on the first planar surface; the second member has a mortise wherein the mortise penetrates the second member, forming a pass-through opening that accepts the tenon-flap assembly on the first member; and a means for interlocking the first member and the second member, the mean for interlocking comprising a mortise and tenon connection, wherein the tenon on the first member is inserted by sliding into the mortise of the second member forming a substantially tight connection, and the connection is locked together by folding the extended flap around the fold-over edge of the second member and the flap is inserted into the tuck slot on the first member.
