Description

Modular furniture using connectors and brackets The present invention relates to modular furniture, and more specifically, to an assembly-type modular furniture structure that allows for the production of furniture of various sizes and shapes according to use by utilizing assembly parts such as a cube-shaped connector body, connecting bolts, and brackets for fixing panels. Generally, modular furniture offers excellent versatility because each component is independent and can be assembled as desired by the user; furthermore, it has the advantage of allowing for efficient use of space as it is configured and assembled according to the shape of the space. In addition, because it is constructed with a prefabricated structure that allows for assembly and disassembly, it is easy to move, install, and change its shape, making it widely used as DIY interior furniture, product display furniture, and exhibition structures. However, in conventional modular furniture, when connecting pipes to connectors, the original shape of the connector and pipe is damaged because they are forcibly connected by hammering, making it difficult to maintain the original function when reassembled and used. In addition, regarding the method of fixing panels to the frame forming the furniture structure, there were limitations in material selection because the method involved press-forming steel plates and using an elastic interlocking mechanism.
