Patent ID: 8161706

Claim:
A clip for securing a tight connection between two modular panels, the connection comprising a male portion on a first one of the two modular panels and a female portion on a second one of the two modular panels, the male portion for insertion into the female portion upon assembly of the two modular panels, the clip comprising: a first flat member having a first pressure edge and a first leg extending substantially perpendicular from a first lower edge thereof; a second flat member having a second leg extending substantially perpendicular from a second lower edge thereof; one of said first leg or said second leg being placed atop the other of said first leg or second leg in an adjoining relationship; and a top plate joining the first flat member to the second flat member; once the panels are assembled in an assembly direction and upon introduction of the first flat member into either one of the male portion and the female portion and of the second flat member into the other one of the male portion and the female portion, the introduction being perpendicularly to the assembly direction, the first pressure edge of the first flat member forces the male portion toward the female portion thereby securing the tight connection between the two modular panels; wherein the first and second flat members form a U-shaped body having two respective parallel planar parts, the distal ends of the legs terminate outside said U-shape, wherein at least a portion of one of the legs forms a portion of the U-shaped body.
