Abstract: A panel connector (10) is comprised of substantially identical locking bars (12A, 12B) held together in clothes-pin fashion by a resilient rod (14). The body (46) of the connector is received in a channel (86) of one structural member (80A). Jaws (34) formed on the top (18) of each bar (12A, 12B) may be received in a slot (92) of a second structural member (80B) and the jaws thereafter urged apart by a spreader member (70) to grippingly engage the slot (92) and lock the structural members (80A, 80B) together. Camming surfaces (42) of the jaw sections (34) facilitate use of connector (10) over a wide range of wall thicknesses at the slot (92).
Abstract translation: 面板连接器（10）由基本上相同的锁定杆（12A，12B）组成，通过弹性杆（14）以衣服针的方式保持在一起。 连接器的主体（46）被容纳在一个结构构件（80A）的通道（86）中。 形成在每个杆（12A，12B）的顶部（18）上的颚板（34）可以容纳在第二结构构件（80B）的狭槽（92）中，并且其后的夹爪通过吊具构件（70）被推动分开 夹紧地接合槽（92）并将结构构件（80A，80B）锁定在一起。 钳口部分（34）的凸轮表面（42）有助于在狭槽（92）处的宽范围的壁厚度上使用连接器（10）。

Abstract: An attachment system joining the side edges of adjacent display panels. Each panel has first and second side edges, the first side edge of one panel joinable with the second side edge of an adjacent panel. The first and second side edges comprise first and second frame members affixed to the panel body. The first and second frame members are substantially identical, being coextensive and having outer faces with corresponding abutment surfaces thereon. Each first and second frame member has a longitudinal opening extending from its upper end through its lower end. Each first frame member has in its outer face a slot at its lower end communicating with its longitudinal opening and at least one bore. Each second frame member has, extending from its forward face, a headed stud near its bottom end, and at least one alignment stud. A U-shaped latch member has a handle position, a short leg and a long leg. The long leg is captively mounted in the opening of the first frame member at its upper end, being vertically shiftable and rotatable therein. When the first frame element of a panel is joined to the second frame element of an adjacent panel, the second frame element headed stud is received in the first frame element slot and opening; the at least one second frame element alignment stud is received in the at least one first frame element bore; and the latch member is lifted and rotated and the short leg is inserted into the second frame member opening, completing the attachment.
