Abstract:
1. A corner connector device and panel combination, the corner connector device forming a reusable corner joint to support two panels, the combination comprising: (A) an outside connector component having a length and, when viewed in cross-section, comprising: (B) an inside connector component having a length and, when viewed in cross-section, comprising: (C) two panel structures, wherein the inside and outside connectors can be lengthwise selectively connected to and disconnected from one another with confronting parts of the outside surfaces of the outside connector component and inside surfaces of the inside connector component spaced a distance from one another, wherein one of the inside and outside connectors has a pair of connector flanges that are lengthwise spaced apart, and wherein the other of the inside and outside connectors has a connector flange that interferingly fits between the pair of connector flanges when the inside and outside connectors are connected, wherein the outside connector component has a fastener groove extending lengthwise along each of the outside surfaces of the first and second legs, and wherein the inside connector component has a fastener groove extending lengthwise along each of the inside surfaces of the third and fourth legs, wherein the outside connector component can be optionally and removably mounted to an outside corner of a structure via fasteners passing through the fastener grooves in the first and second legs and the inside connector component can be connected thereto, the two panel structures supported between the respective confronting parts of the first and third legs and the second and fourth legs forming an outside paneled corner, and wherein the inside connector component can be optionally and removably mounted to an inside corner of a structure via fasteners passing through the fastener grooves in the third and fourth legs and the outside connector component can be connected thereto, the two panel structures supported between the respective confronting parts of the first and third legs and the second and fourth legs forming an inside paneled corner.
