Abstract

The panel fastener includes an externally driven crank having a first pin slidably engaging a first cam surface formed on a hook member. A second pin fixed on said hook member slidably engages a second cam surface having a fixed position. Rotation of said crank on center axis induces cam action causing said hook member to first rotate and then retract. Thereby, the hook member when located on one panel can engage a pin fixed on an independent second panel and join and draw together said panels. Alignment of the pins and crank axis prevents loosening or disengagement of the joined panels without intentional reverse operation of the crank.
