ABSTRACT:
A fastener clip and joint structure incorporating same especially adapted for use with thin or narrow furniture parts, panels, or the like to reduce splitting or fracture of the parts when joined and/or stressed. The clip is formed from a one-piece metal plate, preferably of annealed spring steel for flexibility, having a raised, central, slotted portion and a pair of end flanges for securing the clip to one joint member. One end flange extends outwardly away from the central portion while the other extends under the central portion. A stud on an opposite joint member is slid along an inclined slot in the central portion to draw the joint members together. In one embodiment, an enlarged opening in the slot allows access through the slot to the end flange beneath the slot for fastening the flange to the joint member.
