Abstract
Abstract The present invention relates to an assembling piece for assembling panels. The assembling piece according to the present invention comprises at least two wings, at least two abutting surfaces perpendicular to the inner surface of said wings, at least two pins 12 perpendicular to the surface of said wings and extending on the same side as said wings; at least two panels 16 are mounted on said pins and maintained through a clamp secured in a hole 14. According to a particular embodiment, the assembling piece comprises a flat outer portion 15 enabling to secure two identical assembling pieces along their flat portions. The present invention can be used in particular for manufacture of furniture.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim
98 words
An assembling system comprising: a. an assenbling piece having two wing surfaces forming an angle and two abutting surfaces perpendicular to said wing surfaces respectively, said angle having an apex; b. two elongated pins projecting perpendicularly from said wing surfaces respectively and being spaced from the associated abutting surfaces in a direction away from said apex, each pin having a free end remote from the associated wing surface; c. a clamp mounted on the free ends of said two pins; and d. securing means connecting said clamp to said assembling piece for urging said clamp toward said apex.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
98 words
An assembling system comprising: a. an assenbling piece having two wing surfaces forming an angle and two abutting surfaces perpendicular to said wing surfaces respectively, said angle having an apex; b. two elongated pins projecting perpendicularly from said wing surfaces respectively and being spaced from the associated abutting surfaces in a direction away from said apex, each pin having a free end remote from the associated wing surface; c. a clamp mounted on the free ends of said two pins; and d. securing means connecting said clamp to said assembling piece for urging said clamp toward said apex.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
42 words
A system according to claim 1, wherein said assembling piece is formed with an aperture therethrough in a plane bisecting said angle, said securing means including a securing member received in said aperture and fastened to said clamp intermediate said free ends.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
28 words
A system according to claim 2, wherein said piece has a flat face perpendicular to said aperture and directed away from said wing surfaces and said abutting surfaces.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
85 words
An assembling system, comprising an assembling piece having two wings forming an angle, at least two abutting surfaces perpendicular to the wings, at least two pins extending perpendicular to the wings on the same side as the abutting surfaces, with respect to the wings, at least one aperture in said assembling piece, at least two panels mounted on said pins, at least one clamp mounted on the free end of said pins and maintained by securing means associated to said apertures in said assembling piece.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
85 words
An assembling system, comprising an assembling piece having two wings forming an angle, at least two abutting surfaces perpendicular to the wings, at least two pins extending perpendicular to the wings on the same side as the abutting surfaces, with respect to the wings, at least one aperture in said assembling piece, at least two panels mounted on said pins, at least one clamp mounted on the free end of said pins and maintained by securing means associated to said apertures in said assembling piece.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
41 words
A system according to claim 4, wherein the clamp is made from a material which is flexible according to a direction perpendicular to the plan of said clamp and rigid according to a direction parallel to the plan of said clamp.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
32 words
A system according to claim 4, wherein pins are studs secured in the assembling piece and the length of which is greater than the thickness of said panels supported by said pins.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
35 words
A system according to claim 4, wherein the pins are tubular sleeves, the length of which is smaller than the thickness of said supported panels, said clamp being maintained on said sleeves through securing means.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
