  • Crate assembly and panel connecting clip
    Patent number: 5722551
    Abstract: The panel connecting clip herein exhibits paired, transversely positioned, panel receiving channels. A ridge is provided along at least one side of each channel to engage a groove cut in the panel. A crate assembly is formed by employing the connector clips along each edge of the enclosure, including the top and bottom edges. By forming the connector clips of flexible material, the panel edges are easily pushed into the channel, forcing the channel apart sufficiently to allow the panel edge to slide past the ridge. When the panel is fully inserted, the ridge of the connector clip snaps into the groove of the panel to secure the panel in position.
