Abstract
Panels are secured to a body or piece of equipment, such as e.g. a desk console which comprises a base structure and covering panels. Protrusions or hook-shaped projections are provided at the panels which can be made to interengage with corresponding parts at the base. The covering panels extend at an angle relative to one another and a bar of wedge-shaped profile is inserted at the peak of the angle defined by two panels, urging the latter into firm engagement with the base.
Claims4
In an apparatus having a base, at least two covering panels and means for securing such panels against relative displacement, the improvement wherein said means for securing comprise projections having oblique contact faces, wherein said base has parts which correspond to said projections to interengage matingly with said projections, and including an elongated, profiled member provided which in cross section defines an angle which corresponds with an angle at which said two panels extend relative to one another, said elongated member being wedgeably insertable between said two panels in space defined between them to exert pressure on said two panels urging said projections and said parts into mating position preventing disengagement.
