<p>The system comprises an alignment strip having locating surfaces (1, 2) to engage the adjacent margins of the faces of two coplanar panels (A, B), and engaging means (6) being provided in association with the strip to retain the panels (A, B) in position. The engaging means (6) preferably acts by penetrating the edge of the panel material, and may comprise a pair of flexible barbed projections extending from the strip, which may be flexed to embed the barbs into the respective panel edges. The barbs may be flexed by inserting an expansion (9, 10) element between them to force them apart. Alternatively, the engaging means may be a plurality of blade elements which may be embedded into the panel edges and also be retained by the strip.</p> |
