ABSTRACT:
This invention is directed to a fastener for securely joining two or more abutting flat panels together along their edges without the necessity of piercing any of the panels or disassembling the connection assembly. The fastener comprises first and second directionally oriented compressible parts of resilient material which are pressed against opposing sides of the panels and means for applying a mechanical force to produce said pressing action causing a partial shape change of the opposing frustoconical compressible parts. The force applying means comprises an elongated threaded member and a body portion extending through an aperture in each compressible part with a wing nut mounted on the extending ends thereof to anchor the parts together. Due to their particular shape, orientation and gripping properties, the compressible parts transfer a large portion of the pressure applied on the opposing exterior sides of the compressible members to directions parallel to the planar surface to firmly join the edge of one panel against the edge of the other panel in the case of edge to edge flush joining, or in a single direction designed for support of the panels by the fastener.
