Frame structure

Abstract

A frame for making outdoor kitchens or other frame structures. The frame includes an elongate rail section and an elongate joint section. The rails sections have inner bridges that are proximate to the ends of the rail sections. These inner bridges nest within outer bridges on the elongate joint sections. A central fastener may join the two bridges, more securely lining joint sections and the rail sections.

1 . A frame structure comprising: 
 a plurality of rails, each rail having a first and a second end;    a plurality of inner bridges on said rails;    a plurality of elongate joint sections; and    a plurality of outer bridges on said joint sections, wherein said inner bridges are able to nest within said outer bridges when said plurality of rails are joined to said plurality of joint sections.    
   
   
       2 . The frame structure at  claim 1 , wherein at least two of the plurality of rails have a floor mounting structure.  
   
   
       3 . The frame structure of  claim 1 , wherein said plurality of rails and said plurality of joint sections include rails and joint sections for a bar top.  
   
   
       4 . The frame structure of  claim 1 , wherein said inner bridges and said outer bridges have aligning holes.  
   
   
       5 . The frame structure of  claim 1 , wherein at least two of the plurality of rails have a return flange.  
   
   
       6 . The frame structure of  claim 1 , wherein at least one of the plurality of rails is an L-shaped brace.  
   
   
       7 . The frame structure of  claim 1 , wherein said joint section has at least one end that can join to two perpendicular rails.  
   
   
       8 . A frame structure comprising: 
 a plurality of first elongate frame members;    at least one inner bridge proximate to each end of said first elongate frame members;    a plurality of second elongate frame members;    at least one outer bridge proximate to each end of said first elongate frame member, wherein said at least one inner bridge is able to nest within said at least one outer bridge, thereby joining said first and said second frame members.    
   
   
       9 . The frame structure of  claim 8 , further including a plurality of fasteners extending through each pair of inner and outer bridges.  
   
   
       10 . The frame structure of  claim 9 , wherein said fastener is a screw.  
   
   
       11 . The frame structure of  claim 8 , wherein at least two of the first elongate frame members include a tab positioned to allow floor mounting of the frame member.  
   
   
       12 . The frame structure of  claim 8 , wherein at least two of the second elongate frame members include a return flange running a majority of a length of the at last two of the second elongate frame members.
