Partition connector system

Apparatus for joining two or more partitions, at least one of which is provided with two cross-bored holes therein, comprising the combination of:

• a plug member disposed in one of said cross-bored holes, and having an axial bore in one end and a cross bore communicating with said axial bore and registering with said other cross-bored hole in said one partition;
• connector means for connecting said one partition to a second partition, said connector means being disposed in said other cross-bored hole and passing through said cross bore in said plug member, and having a waist portion in its outer surface which substantially registers with said axial bore in said plug member;
• and
• means, disposed in said axial bore in said plug member, for engaging and camming against said waist portion in said connector means to firmly hold said connector means in said other cross-bored hole.

Apparatus for joining two or more partitions, at least one of which is provided with two cross-bored holes in adjacent faces thereof, comprising the combination of:

• a plug member dimensioned to closely fit in one of said cross-bored holes, and having a threaded axial bore in one end and a cross bore communicating with said axial bore and registering with the other cross-bored hole when positioned in said one cross-bored hole in said one partition;
• a connector member, dimensioned to closely fit in said other cross-bored hole and to pass through said cross bore in said plug member when it is positioned in said one cross-bored hole, and having a threaded axial bore in one end and a waist portion in its outer surface which substantially registers with said axial bore in said plug member when so disposed in said cross bore;
• and
• screw means, dimensioned to screw into each of said axial bores, for bridging and connecting said one partition to a second partition, and having cone head means on one end for camming against the waist portion in said connector member when screwed into the axial bore in said plug member to draw said partitions tightly together.

Apparatus for connecting two structural members at least one of which has an end face and two side faces, comprising:

• a connector member adapted to be disposed in said end face of said one structural member, said connector member having an axial bore in one end thereof and a waist portion in its outer surface;
• bridging means constructed to be held in said axial bore for connecting said connector member to said other structural member;
• a plug member adapted to be disposed in one side face of said one structural member, said plug member having an axial bore in one end thereof and cross-bore means communicating with said axial bore for receiving said connector member therein such that said waist portion being capable of registering with said axial bore;
• and
• set means constructed to be disposed in said axial bore in said plug member for engaging and holding said connector member in said plug member.

A disconnectable partition assembly comprising:

• at least one partition member having two adjacent faces with holes formed in each, which holes communicate with each other in the partition interior;
• a plug member disposed in one of said holes and having an axial bore in one end and a cross bore communicating with said axial bore and registering with the other hole in said one partition;
• a connector member disposed in said other hole and passing through said cross bore in said plug member and having an axial bore in one end and a waist portion in its outer surface which substantially registers with said axial bore in said plug member;
• a second partition member having a face with at least one opening formed therein;
• holding means received and held in said axial bore in said connector member and in said opening for bridging and connecting said one partition to said second partition and
• setting means received and held in said axial bore in said plug member for camming against the waist portion of said connector member to draw said partition members tightly together.
