Abstract
A system for binding horizontal and vertical panels is provided. The system comprises a casing comprising a barrel and a cover, the casing inserted into an end of a horizontal panel. The system also comprises a cylindrical metal insert embedded into a first surface of a vertical panel. The system also comprises a sliding metal pin inside the casing that receives attraction with a magnet placed on a second surface of the horizontal panel proximate the casing. The pin moves, based on the received attraction and after the end of the horizontal panel is placed against the vertical panel at a location of the insert, the movement of the pin based on movement of the magnet. The pin also protrudes partially, based on the movement through a first hole in the cover, into a second hole in the insert.

A system for binding horizontal and vertical panels, comprising:
- a casing comprising a barrel and a cover, the casing inserted into an end of a horizontal panel;
- a cylindrical metal insert embedded into a first surface of a vertical panel;
- a sliding metal pin inside the casing that:
- receives attraction with a magnet placed on a second surface of the horizontal panel proximate the casing,
- moves, based on the received attraction and after the end of the horizontal panel is placed against the vertical panel at a location of the insert, the movement of the pin based on movement of the magnet, and
- protrudes partially, based on the movement through a first hole in the cover, into a second hole in the insert.
A system for binding panels while concealing binding hardware, comprising:
- a horizontal panel;
- a vertical panel with area designated for placement of an end surface of the horizontal panel;
- a hollow casing placed into the end surface, an end portion of the casing flush with the end surface;
- a metal insert embedded into the vertical panel at the designated area;
- and
- a sliding metal pin resident inside the casing that:
- moves, based on receipt of an external force, toward a first hole in the end portion of the casing,
- extends partially through the first hole and into a second hole in the insert, the end surface of the horizontal panel having been placed against the vertical panel at the designated area prior to commencement of movement of the pin, and
- remains semi-permanently placed with a head portion of the pin resident in the insert, the semi-permanent placement promoting binding of the horizontal panel to the vertical panel.
