ABSTRACT:
A joining device for joining panels at right angles to each other comprises an element having a head and a shank secured into one of the panels with the head and part of the shank projecting from an edge thereof. A plug-like body portion or holding member is fitted in a recess in a major surface of the other panel. The plug-like member has an end face exposed to the major panel surface with an opening extending axially therein from the end face to receive and surround the head. An inward projection is located within the opening. A securing member is located within the body portion adjacent the opening, and includes a shoulder-forming portion positioned within the body portion to form a shoulder on the other side of the opening relative to the projection. The distance between the shoulder-forming portion and the projection is less than the diameter of the head. The head can then be inserted into the opening and forced between the shoulder and the projection until the head snaps in behind the shoulder and the projection. The securing member is then operated from the end face to engage the head to apply a force thereto to draw the head inwardly relative to the opening to tighten the joint formed by the panels.
