Filed:

Jun 11, 2008

Appl. No.:

12/137031

Inventors:

Michael A. Greco - Brooklyn NY, US

International Classification:

B65D 71/00

US Classification:

24288, 206159, 294 872

Abstract:

A cap clip for fastening caps together is realized employing pressure type pincer snaps, allowing complex geometrical shapes to be formed while reducing the use of fasteners. In one embodiment, the cap clip includes a generally triangular base and three pincer snaps formed integrally with the base along the outer perimeter. Preferably, each pincer snap is comprised of a pair of convex walls and a shared clasping section lying along a radius of curvature path that are co-centric.

Preferably, each pincer snap is comprised of a pair of convex walls and a shared clasping section lying along a radius of curvature path that are co-centric. In another embodiment, each pincer snap includes a single convex plate and concave walls of a twin clasping section consisting of two triangular sections with a spacing centrally disposed therebetween. Each triangular section has two outer concave walls extending vertically upward away from the base, and joined laterally to each other along a corresponding rounded edge. Alternatively, concave plates may be used, with a recessed channel formed between each of concave plate and corresponding concave walls of said clasping section for securing the cap therebetween.

Abstract:

A partition and paneling system comprises connecting means for joining of abutting wall panels together to form an integral wall. The connecting means includes a head section supporting the ceiling and connected to the conventional overhead steel work or black iron. Downwardly extending top guide channels are mounted to the head section and the upper portion of a fastening member is located within the top guide channels and extends downwardly therefrom. The fastening member comprises an enlarged upper portion, an elongated intermediate portion having tapered wedged-shaped blocks at intermediate portions therealong and a lower enlarged portion having a threaded axial aperture which is engaged by a threaded rod. The rod is locked in the lower enlarged portion at one end and has an outwardly extending block at the lower end thereof and an elongated lock nut mounted thereto. The transverse block portion cooperates with stop blocks in a base mounting channel to tighten the wedge-shaped portions into mating elements mounted on the edges of a abutting wall panels.
