ABSTRACT:
A fastener clip for forming a joint between two furniture panels includes a pair of flanges spaced from a central member by a pair of legs. The central member is defined by a pair of arms having a slot therebetween. Preferably, the slot includes inclined wedging surfaces. One of the arms of the central member is connected to an access member, which opposes the other arm of the central member. The access member permits the securing stud to engage the slot of the central member by being moved laterally into registry with the slot, while the opposing arm of the central member prohibits contact between the securing stud and the furniture panel. An upwardly extending flap positioned in the leg opposing the closed end of the slot prevents contact between the securing stud and the furniture panel when the securing stud is disengaged from the slot.
