This document discusses furniture hardware and provides information about hinges and metal plates. It introduces the group members working on the furniture hardware project and then describes the anatomy, types and factors to consider when choosing hinges. It also defines metal plates, describes their uses in furniture for connecting joints, and lists considerations for selecting the right metal plate.

2. HINGES

3.  A hinge is a type of bearing that connects two solid
objects, typically allowing only a limited angle of rotation
between them.
 A similar structure or part, such as one that enables the
valves of a bivalve mollusk to open and close.
 Two objects connected by an ideal hinge rotate relative to
each other about a fixed axis of rotation
 Hinges may be made of flexible material or of moving
components.

8. METAL PLATE

9.  Metal-plate are commonly used to connect critical joints
in upholstered furniture frames due to their high load
resistance, rapid assembly, and easy connection of
members with uniform thickness.
 Comes in a various shape but the most popular is L-
brackets.
 A strong, permanent joint that can outperform traditional
methods without the need for glue, clamps or extra
sawing.
 Just put in place, and fix with the special engineered
nails.
