ABSTRACT:
A modularly constructed countertop generally of plastic solid surfacing material and including connectable modular countertop panel sections including various lengths of straight sections, and corner sections having thickened finished front edges. Included is an error resistant arrangement of adhesively seaming one countertop panel section to another utilizing easily aligned edges having registration grooves for aligning the top surfaces of adjacent sections flush with each other during adhesive seaming. Included for clamping purposes during the adhesive seaming are rigid elongated strips each having transverse grooves located across a bottom surface. Top surfaces of the strips are glued to the bottom surface of the countertop panel sections adjacent and parallel the edges to be abutted and adhesively seamed. Linearly extendable and retractable springs with catches (rings) on the terminal ends thereof are placed within the transverse grooves spanning between two adjacent strips wherein the springs temporarily serve as continuous tension clamps against the seam while liquid adhesive within the seam cures.
