ABSTRACT:
A wall panel assembly for use in providing an open plan system to define separate areas. An L shaped connector bracket is utilized to join two panels together in an L configuration, three panels together in a T configuration, or four panels together in an X configuration. In each case one leg of the bracket is secured to an end edge of the first wall panel and the other leg of the bracket is secured to the end edge of a second panel. Where only two panels are being joined in an L configuration, a ball end edge of an L shaped trim post is positioned at one end edge in a socket groove defined by the connector bracket and rotated to bring another ball end edge of the trim panel into snapping coaction with a socket groove defined on another end edge of the connector bracket. Where three panels are to be joined in a T configuration, the second and third panels are joined by further connector brackets spaced vertically from the connector brackets joining the first and second panels and a ball end edge of a generally planar trim post is positioned in socket grooves defined by the connector bracket joining the first and second panels, whereafter the post is rotated to bring another ball end edge of the trim post into snapping engagement with socket grooves defined on the connector brackets connecting the second and third panels.
