ABSTRACT:
A fastener system enabling assembly of kit components by an unskilled purchaser without use of tools. A wedge-lock ring is seated in a pre-formed socket in one kit member such as a horizontal shelf. A pin is seated in an opening in another kit member such as a vertical end panel. The pin is then engaged with the ring, and the kit members are drawn together tightly and securely in an assembled position. Disassembly is accomplished simply by tapping the kit members to disengage the pin from the ring. A cam locking member and retractable pin are also disclosed for use with the system. The fastener system is useful in assembling bookshelves, cabinets, tables, chairs, desks and other articles which are marketed in kit form.
