| 摘要 | A connecting device for joining together two panels end-to-end of various sizes and materials. Each panel includes a plurality of pivotally mounted toggle arms which are alternately positioned with respect to arms on the opposite panel. The toggle arms are also positioned so that their ends overlap and interlock when in closed or engaged position. A top and bottom bar partially connects and properly positions the two panels. The top bar may be provided with a bolt or other means to secure the interlocked toggle arm ends together against the bottom connecting bar when in closed position. A slide member is provided with two pairs of slidable cams to operate the toggle arms which are provided with corresponding cams. The device is connected and disconnected by opposite movement of the slide member with the cams pivoting the toggle arms open or closed by engaging mating cam surfaces. | ||||||
| 权利要求 | 1. Connecting device construction including a pair of panels, each panel having an inner edge and an elongated slot formed adjacent to and parallel with said inner edge and extending through said panel; a plurality of toggle arms, each having a cam end and an engaging end, pivotally mounted for movement from engaged to disengaged position along the inner edge of the panels; the toggle arMs on one panel being alternately positioned with respect to the toggle arms on the opposite panel so that the engaging ends overlap when in engaged position; cam means having an engaging cam surface and a disengaging cam surface at the cam end of each toggle arm; actuator means movable along said elongated slot and having actuator cam means including an engaging portion and a disengaging portion; the actuator engaging portion engaging the engaging surface of the toggle arm cam means to pivot the toggle arms to engaged position; and the disengaging portion contacting the disengaging surface of the toggle arm cam means to pivot the toggle arms to disengaged position. 2. Connecting device construction as defined in claim 17 in which the panels include alignment means located to position the panels for engagement. 3. Connecting device construction as defined in claim 2 in which said alignment means extend between the tops and bottoms of said panels; and in which said alignment means includes clamping means engageable with the uppermost and lowermost toggle arms when said upper and lowermost toggle arms are in engaged position for retaining the toggle arms in engaged position. 4. Connecting device construction as defined in claim 3 in which said clamping means includes a portion of the bottom alignment means; in which said bottom portion supports the lowermost toggle arm when in engaged position; and in which the top alignment means includes an adjustable member extending from said top alignment means for engaging the uppermost toggle arm. |
