ABSTRACT:
A system for interlocking together two panel members comprises a washer member having a first washer portion connected by a first necked down portion to a second intermediate washer portion and a third washer portion connected by a second necked down portion to the second intermediate washer portion. A bore runs through the washer member for receiving a screw for fastening the washer member to a side of a first panel member. A second panel member has a keyhole slot and an aperture spaced from the keyhole slot. A resilient clip member has one end formed with a right angle projecting portion and a second end formed with an aperture configured to securely receive the first necked down portion of the washer member. When the washer member is fastened together with the clip member to a side of the first panel member, the third washer portion may be inserted into the keyhole slot and the first panel member may be moved such that the second necked down portion slides into a reduced opening portion of the keyhole slot, whereupon the projecting portion of the clip member is resiliently biased into the aperture of the second panel member thereby immovably securing the panel members together.
