发明名称 LOCKING MEANS AND PANEL ASSEMBLY INCORPORATING SUCH LOCKING MEANS
摘要 A new attachment plate is provided for securing components of panel assemblies to a mounting post, the attachment plate incorporating a securing hook together with a stop means. The attachment plate includes a projecting hook which mates with a slot in a mounting post structural member. The hook is of a lesser length than the slot in the post, and a further projection as a stop means is provided on the attachment plate which also enters the slot and restrains reversed relative movement between the plate hook and the post slot, so as to limit or prevent undesired disassembly of a panel from the post. The application of an upward impact to the plate causes a cam surface on the stop means to contact the upper end of the mounting post slot. This deflects the stop means out from the slot, to enable removal of the hook from the slot, for panel disassembly from the post. Also provided is a hooked supporting plate incorporating pairs of flexible presser tabs, to compensate for manufacturing tolerances. The laterally extending tabs engage outer surfaces of the mounting post and provide stabilization of a multi-panel assembly against sway.
