Abstract

A furniture frame includes a first frame part with a dowel extending beyond the end thereof into an opening in a second frame part. A securing screw is provided in the second frame part at right-angles to the dowel axis. When the screw is tightened, two abutting surfaces inclined at an angle to the central plane of the dowel are pressed against corresponding, inclined surfaces in the opening. A releasable, but nevertheless very rigid connection of the various elements is thus achieved.
