Abstract:
A system for joining two blocks of foam, each of said blocks of foam having a surface which abuts the surface of the other block of foam once joined, said system comprising:a connector set, having a first connector device that is a female connection device having an open end, a pair of open parts that are parallel to each other near the open end, the open parts each having catch openings spaced longitudinally therealong, and including a laterally extending flange for anchoring within one of the blocks of foam, the first connector device for extending longitudinally within said block of foam with said open end near and substantially parallel to said surface; the connector set having a second connector device which has a lateral flange for anchoring within the other of the blocks of foam, the second connector device for extending longitudinally said block of foam near said surface; and the connector set having a mechanism for securing the first connector device to the second connector device having catches which are inclined such that when the mechanism is inserted into the open end of the female connection device, the catches engage the catch openings and prevent the female connection device and the second connection device from being pulled apart, such that the surfaces of the blocks of foam substantially abut each other and the connector set prevents the surfaces from being pulled apart.
