The pairs of cooperating male and female members are disposed at spaced apart locations in a non-collinear arrangement along the or each said abutment line. The pairs of cooperating members from the sole means of support for table top elements not provided with a pedestal and the weight of such elements is carried by shear stresses in the cooperating members and by bending stresses in the table top elements themselves.</p> |
