ABSTRACT:
Apparatus is disclosed for constructing a skeletal framework adapted to support wall, furniture or other structural panels. The apparatus includes a plurality of elongate channel members each having a generally rectangular cross section, one side of which defines an axial slot. A plurality of generally flat elongate cover plates are also provided, each having elongate tongue means extending lengthwise along the cover plate and adapted to engage the slot in one of the channel members. The cover plates and channel members each have flanges at their outer edges so that when joined together to form a skeletal frame member, they define a plurality of exposed recesses. A plurality of spline members are provided to interconnect the joined cover plates and channel members at their ends. Each spline member has a generally cubical block portion and at least two orthogonal extensions adapted to project into the ends of adjacent channel members. The extensions include transverse ridges adapted to fit within notches in the tongue means of the cover plates engaged with the channel members to lock the combined cover plate and channel members together into a structural framework. The recesses provided by the structural framework support structural panels to provide an interior wall or furniture piece.
