Combined seat and backrest unit

A knock-down pedestal chair is easily assembled from metal frame and base components and upholstered back and cushion components requiring only a small shipping carton and a few screws, bolts and nuts for assembly of the components into the finished chair. The metal components can be mounted in close relation on a plating rack for easy electroplating in standard plating facilities. The pedestal base has a pair of planar leg components each composed of two diametrically opposite legs connected by an interposed slotted plate. The slots of the plates of the two components interfit to hold the components at right angles to each other. The tops of the legs are easily bolted to the bottom plate of a swivel plate component, the top plate of which is bolted to the bottom of the seat component and side arm components are bolted to the sides of the seat component and are fastened to the back component to complete the chair assembly. Casters may be mounted under the four legs of the base.

A modular system of furniture components avoiding the necessity for cumbersome, heavy frames, has end leg modules connected by seat and back modules with finished panel modules mounted on the outer sides of the leg modules. The seat and back modules have rigid frames mounted on ledges of the end leg modules. The back module frame is also secured near its top to the end leg modules. The end panels seat within the end legs to cover the ends of the seat and back modules. The seat, back, and end panel modules can be upholstered and designed as desired and the module components can be shipped in a knocked down condition to be easily assembled at the point of use.
