ABSTRACT:
A skeletal framework is provided for supporting furniture, shelf, wall and other types of structural panels. The framework comprises a plurality of elongate frame members, each having a generally rectangular cross section. At least one side of each of the frame members is provided with an axially extending slot. Each of the axially extending slots is provided with a generally dovetail-shaped cross section. A plurality of corner connectors are provided for interconnecting first, second and third frame members which usually extend in mutually orthogonal directions. The corner connectors are each provided with first, second and third extensions for extending into and engaging the axially extending slots disposed on the first, second and third frame members, respectively. A plurality of corner locks are provided, one corner lock being received in each corner member. Each of the corner locks comprise a stake, which extends through the corner members and engages the first and second frame members, and a fastener, which extends through the stake and the corner members, the fastener engaging the third frame member for drawing the stake, the corner connector and the first, second and third frame members theretogether. Various types of paneling may be mounted in the skeletal framework so assembled. Additional elements are provided for mounting door panels and shelf panels. Other elements are provided for interconnecting modules formed from the structural system of the present invention and wall mounting one or more of the modules.
