Abstract:
A srew boss (30) for blow-molded structures, such as portable tables and chairs, allows various components to be securely attached to the blow-molded structure. For example, the screw boss (30) may allow support legs (14) to be securely fastened to a blow-molded table top (12). The screw boss is integrally formed in an outer surface (18) of the blow-molded structure (12) and it includes a receiving portion (34) that is sized and configured to receive a fastener (50) such as a screw. Preferably, the fastener (50) has threads that threadably engage the inner surface of the receiving portion (34) to provide for secure attachement of the fastener (50) to the blow-molded structure (12).
