<p>Patio furniture (10), for indoor or outdoor use, is formed by frame members made of aluminum tubular extrusions or similar materials. A plurality of straps (92) or a one piece panel (15) with several straps (16) forms a seat (14) and a back (12) for the furniture (10). Each end (166) of the strap (100) is self-locked into a slot (78, 80) in the frame members. The locking element is either a shear formed tab (50, 52) which slides into the slot (78, 80) of the frame members and which is an integral part of the tang (46, 48) of each strap (16), or the locking element is an external fastener (184), such as a canoe clip, a screw, or a Christmas tree clip which is inserted through the end of the strap (92) and into circular holes in the frame members (9).</p> |
