ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides a system for joining two furniture panels to prevent relative vertical movement there between. In a first embodiment for joining two furniture panels disposed at right angles, the invention comprises two forks. The primary fork comprises an elongated base having three coplanar equally-spaced tines arranged along the length of the base and extending from the base in a direction perpendicular to the length of the base. The primary fork also includes three coplanar equally-spaced slots extending through the base in a direction perpendicular to the direction of the tines. The second, or locking, fork comprises an elongated flat planar body having two faces and three flat elongated coplanar equally-spaced tines arranged thereon. The tines are arranged along the length of the body and protrude from one edge of one face of the body, to extend in a direction perpendicular to the length of the body. In a second embodiment for joining two furniture panels disposed adjacent one another within a single plane, the apparatus comprises an elongated base having two parallel, spaced apart rows of tines as previously described extending from the base in a direction perpendicular to the length of the base.
