<p>PANEL CONNECTORS Attempts have been made to provide plastic or metal clips to hold panels together either by the adjacent edges with the panels at right angles to one another (corner joint) or with one panel perpendicular to another (Tconnection) but such clips are difficult to engage with sufficient frictional force to maintain the panels tightly together. This invention utilizes firstly an elongated corner strip or moulding having edge beads which snap engage grooves in the panel or secondly, an elongated clip or moulding which seats within a groove and extends perpendicular to the panel with the groove with an edge bead on the distal edge of the portion extending perpendicularly which in turn snap engages a groove in the face of the panel edge which engages the first groove and extends perpendicularly therefrom. In both cases the bead includes at least one elongated key to assist in the frictional retention of the clips or moulding relative to the panels.</p> |
