ABSTRACT:
A joint interlocking system includes T-shaped splines (30) each having arms (32), lips (34) and a center flange (36). The splines (30) are secured within slots (20) formed in the edges of panels (12) or similar articles/members to be interlocked together in various structural configurations. H-shaped connectors (40) each include a cross bracket (42), legs (44) and inwardly directed retaining lips (46). Beads (35) are formed on the ends of the spline lips (34), and project inward toward the associated spline center flange (36). Corresponding beads (48) are formed on the ends of the connector retaining lips (46) and project inwardly toward the associated cross bracket (42). The spline beads (35) can be captured in connector pockets (50) formed by the cross bracket (42), retaining lips (46) and connector beads (48) so as to interlock the splines (30) to the connectors (40).
