Technical Examples

An elongate fastener is provided for securing a pair of panels together wherein the panels includes respective bores therein. Each end of the fastener includes an expansible end portion thereon which is arranged to be received within the respective bore. A wedge member is mounted within each expansible end portion for longitudinal sliding movement between a disengaged position and an engaged position wherein the expansible end portions are expanded relative to the disengaged position. An actuator is located centrally between the expansible end portions for pivotal movement about an actuator axis which lies perpendicularly to a longitudinal axis of the fastener. The fastener permits a pair of panels to be mounted with one end of one panel abutted against the other panel wherein the actuator is accessible from a recessed installation aperture on an inner face of one of the panels. The resulting joint is secure while being hidden from view using a one-piece fastener.
