ABSTRACT:
In partitions with round edged panels arranged in edge-to-edge abutting relation with one another and having glides near their respective lower edges, snap-on bottom connectors span the inter-panel joints by being snapped onto the glide stems. The connectors are flat plates with open sided latch portions for engaging the stems and having detents spaced from one another a distance slightly less than the distance between the remote edges of the engaged stems when the panels are in abutting relation with one another. The compressibility of the panel edges and/or the resilience of the system permit a snap interference fit of the connectors on the stems to hold the panels firmly in compressive edge-to-edge engagement with one another. Lock nuts secure the connectors in place. The connectors may be installed and removed readily with the panels in their normal upright partition forming positions, for convenient removal and substitution of panels after the system has been assembled.
