Problems solved by technology

Cam locks cannot be pre-installed by the manufacturer, further complicating the process and adding considerable time to complete assembly by the consumer or professional installer
[0006] The second problem is that after the assembly is done and the furniture or cabinets are assembled, the cam locks become loose and sometimes fall out of place in the furniture
[0007] The third issue is visibility
The most common cause of failure is the impracticality of using a high-speed commercial machine to successfully install a product

Abstract

A friction fit clip fastening system that creates a firm and invisible connection between panels or substrates without the use of tools or glue, comprising a fastener and mating rout. The fastener has a clip element that allows it to clip and connect to a mating rout. Different routs are used for different embodiments of the fasteners. The rout is formed directly in the panel face or edge or formed on a substrate by a router bit that has three cutting edges. The connections made by the friction fit clip fastening system are invisible. The fasteners can be installed at the manufacturing site so the user simply clips or slides the fasteners into the appropriate slot or rout when assembling. The friction fit fastening system is easily removable from the panels making assembling and disassembling quick and easy because the fastener is made of one piece.

Description

Technical field [0001] The present invention relates to fasteners and routs; more specifically, it relates to tool-less fastening systems for furniture, cabinets, fixtures, wood, plastics, metals and various substrates. The present invention also relates to the use of fasteners in one format or another format that are friction-fitted or snap-fitted with related fastening elements. Background technique [0002] The increasing commercialization of self-assembled furniture and the requirement to assemble cabinets, storage fixtures, and many other wood and plastic products at the point of sale faster, easier and are driving the development of fastener systems that can achieve these attributes. [0003] In addition, increased transportation costs have pushed well-equipped furniture manufacturers to develop means to ship their products in a more cohesive manner in order to reduce total shipments. The problem is that there is no cost-effective way to quickly assemble the product after sh...
