Connector assembly for temporary constructions

A fastening system for latching a first element to a second element comprising:

• a first element having a first latching surface, a first contact surface and a first fastening channel extending from the first latching surface to the first contact surface;
• a second element having a second contact surface abutting the first contact surface spaced at a distance therefrom a second contact surface and a second fastening channel extending from the second contact surface to the second surface in line with the first fastening channel, wherein an access slot of smaller diameter than a diameter of the fastening channels extends from the second fastening channel to an outer surface of the second element and extending parallel to the channel along its length;
• a connector assembly comprising a body having two generally U-shaped sections each section having two opposed arms having a hole;
• and
• a locking device having an elongate locking member extending through the holes of each arm, said first and second latching members attached to each respective end of the locking member abutting against an outward surface of the respective arm;
• said locking member comprising a first elongate body having a first diameter attached with one end to the first latching member and a free second end, and a second elongate body that is connected at opposite ends thereof to said first and second latching members movably along a longitudinal axis, the second elongate body having a second diameter that is smaller than the diameter of the first elongate body and being said biasing connecting member, said biasing connecting member being elastic.
