A device is provided which comprises a fastening element 12 and a tightening member 44, the device being suitable for fastening furniture panels 40, 42 together. The fastening element 12 has helically extending ribs on its leading end which enable it to be pushed into a bore in a member to be fastened, whilst turning it through a small angle to provide some resistance to axial forces tending to pull the fastening element out. Fins are also provided which act to stop the insertion of the fastening element at a predetermined depth and which engage with the bore in the second panel to inhibit rotation of the fastening element, the fins being arranged in such a way that they cut into the second panel allowing the two panels to come into full contact. <IMAGE> |
