ABSTRACT:
An assembly for joining members in juxtaposition at mating edge surfaces on the members. Faces on the mating edge surfaces are provided for abutting contact and a channel extends along the edges behind the faces. An elongate slot is formed through the faces in communication with the channels so that the slots in abutting faces overlie one another. A fastener having an elongate body, which may be flexible about a longitudinal axis, is formed to fit through the elongate slots when the faces on the members are in abutting position. The flexible body allows joining of curviform or convoluted abutting surfaces. Spaced lateral members are attached to the edges of the elongate body and are formed to fit in the channels. The fastener is drawn through the overlying elongate slots and into the channels when the faces of the members are in contact, securing the members in juxtaposition as the lateral members on the fastener contact the surface of the channel adjacent to the elongate slots. Portions on the ends of the lateral members and at the elongate slot edges are relieved to afford a minimum of frictional obstruction during assembly. A cover member is provided for fitting over the mating edges after assembly of the fastener to conceal the joint from view.
