Wall panel assembly

A modular wall assembly comprising, in combination:

• at least two panels each including a substantially flat body, a side plate at one edge of said body, and a tongue at said one edge extending substantially parallel to and spaced from said side plate so as to form a channel therebetween, said panels being aligned and oriented so that said one edges are in mutually confronting and spaced relationship;
• a first connector member having two parallel spaced-apart side plates and a web connected to and supporting said side plates, each of said side plates of said first connector being dimensioned so as to extend within a corresponding one of said channels and so as to be easily movable into and out of said channel making a snug fit with the adjacent tongue and side plate of said panel;
• and
• a second connector member having two parallel spaced-apart side plates and a web connected to and supporting said side plates, the side plates of said second connector extending between and making a snug fit with said tongues.

• each of said first and second connectors being independently removable from between said panels by moving each connector in a direction substantially perpendicular to said flat bodies of said panels.
