  • Connector system for furniture and structures
    Patent number: 4197029
    Abstract: A connector system including a socket with a retaining flange to hold the socket in an opening in one of the parts to be joined. A plug with a longitudinal slot is wedged in an opening of the other part to be joined. A head on the plug coacts with a bayonnet slot opening of the socket to secure the parts together. The wedge for securing the plug can be connected to the plug initially with a break-away connection so the entire plug is a single unit.
