ABSTRACT:
An improved fastening system for use with partitioning systems of the type wherein repositionable walls are fastened together to define office spaces, and the like. Hook and loop fastening materials are employed "in shear" to provide a strong holding force but are contained within a shear trap channel to provide for ease of release when required. In its basic form, the fastening system comprises a first U-shaped member adapted to fit over and attach to an edge of a wall partition to be joined to another partitioning component and having parallel outer faces each having one of the portions of the fastening system thereon; and, a second U-shaped member adapted to be carried by the other partitioning component and having parallel inner faces on the sides of the U each having the other of the portions of the fastening system thereon. The second U-shaped member is adapted to receive the first U-shaped member and its wall partition between the inner faces with the portions of the loop fastening portions in engagement. The second U-shaped member is also adapted to have the sides pivoted adjacent the closest end of the U to allow progressive disengagement of the portions of the fastening system.
