Description:
A CONNECTOR ELEMENT

IBCHmCM, FIELD

The invention provides easy assembly of displays and / or furniture made of any suitable material, especially wood, metal, plastic, paper (honeycomb panel etc,}, enabling the dispatch of displays and / or furniture to the customer; It relates to a fastener that reduces transportation costs and allows tie end user to assemble (install} easily and quickly without the need for any adhesives, nails, screws, and alike, m m STATE OF THE TECHNIQUE

Nowadays, displays are used in many areas to offer products to consumers. The connection of the surfaces (side, bottom, top an shelves forming surfaces) of today's displays is made either by screw connection or by welded connection or by adhesive connection. In all three cases, connection costs are high.

Nowadays, wood displays, metal displays, plastic displays and displays with similar panels have surfaces that are mad of panels so that they cannot be folded and occupy more space in case of transportation and storage. This situation causes an Increase in stock and transportation costs

DESCEIFTION OF THE INVENTION

The invention overcomes the disadvantages described above.

The connector element developed in the invention consists of two parts, the upper part an the lower part.

i The upper part of the connector element dev loped in the invention m ¾e to the Plate A and the lower pert to the Plate B.

The end portion of the upper part of the connector element developed in the invention is Inserted Into the fixing cavity of the lower part, hereby attaching Plate to Plate B This way, the Installation of displays and / or furniture can he done very easily and very quickly.

Since the connector element, developed in the invention enables the assembly of the displays very easily and quickly, the displays and / or furniture can be transported in a isassembled manner with a small footprint and can be assembled fey the user at place. This ensures low transportation costs..

By using the connector element, developed in the invention there is no need for additional adhesive, nails, screws or similar materials to mount Plate A and Plate B to each other. This makes the installation cost very low and the Installation process very easy, fast and cost-effective.

By means of the Plug A on the upper part of the connector element developed In the invention, the upper part can fee mounted to the Plate A very easil and quickly.

By means of Plug B and Plug C on the lower part of the connecto element develope in the invention, the lower part can fee mounte to the Plate B very easily and quickly,

There are arrow shaped structures on the Plug A on the upper part of th connector element developed in the invention. Thanks to these structures, Pfug-A does not come out easily when it is inserted into the hole-1 on Plate A. There are arrow shaped structures on th Plug B on the lower part of the connector element developed in the invention. Thanks to these structures, Plug B does not come off easily when if Is inserted Into the hole-2 section on Plate B. There are arrow shaped structures m the Plug C on the lower part of the connector element developed In the Invention, Thanks to these structures, Plug C does not come off easily when it Is inserted into the hole-3 section on Plate 8.
