ABSTRACT:
Thin, planar panels are joined at their edges by an arrangement which includes a hollow, slotted spacing member which seats within grooves in the opposite facing portions of the panel edges to separate the panel edges by a selected distance. Each panel is provided with a bottom connecting member mounted on the bottom of the panel and extending outwardly and upwardly and into the open bottom end of the spacing member. A top connecting member has opposite ends thereof secured to the tops of the panels so as to extend between the panels and over the top of the spacing member. Corners are formed by permanently attaching a pair of spacing members to the right angle edges of a corner post and then positioning the open bottom ends of the spacing members over the up turned ends of bottom connecting members extending from facing portions of a pair of panels to be joined to the corner post. The right angle intermediate portion of a top connecting member is secured within the top of the corner post and the opposite ends thereof are fastened to the tops of the joining panels. The panels are provided with removable top caps held in place on top of the panel by securing the flared end portions of fasteners mounted within the top cap within the inclined slots in fastening brackets secured to the top of the panel. Mounting brackets for supporting shelves and the like at the sides of the panels extend through the thin space between adjacent panels and are secured within the slotted spacing members by a pair of hook members engaging the slots to hold the mounting bracket snugly against the spacing member and a lower projection which wedges against the upper end of a lower slot to prevent inadvertent upward movement or release of the mounting bracket from the spacing member.
