ABSTRACT:
A fastener for joining together a plurality of panel members at their corners provides tight, aligned joinder between the panels, yet can be rapidly disconnected to facilitate the transportation of the panels. The fastener includes a central hub portion against which the corner portions of the panels to be joined together abut in mating relationship; the corner portions of such panels being preformed to the shape of the fastener central portion to enable such mating engagement. Extending from one end of the central portion is an overlapping member which fits flush against one surface of the panels to be joined while extending from the opposite end of the central portion is a second member which is in opposing relationship to the opposite surface of such panels. Clamping members attached to the second member have arms which extend towards each other at convergent angles. The panels each have notches formed therein into which the ends of the arms extend and abut in clamping engagement with the panels, thereby retaining such panels to the fastener and to each other.
