Abstract
A device for detachably connecting components disposed at right angles to each other having two fitting elements of which the first element is provided with a head section having laterally sloping wedge-shaped surfaces and the second element is provided with a dovetail-like groove into which the head of the first fitting element is accurately fitted so that in the assembled condition of the fitting the wedge-shaped faces of the head section are in secure contact with the inclined inner surfaces of the groove. The first fitting element is in the form of a wedge block adapted to be screwed to the first furniture component. The wedge-shaped faces of the wedge block and the mating side faces of the second fitting element are disposed at an acute angle to the first furniture component and the second fitting element is in the form of a mounting sleeve inserted into the desired surface of the second furniture component producing tightening forces in the plane of tension as the wedge faces are inserted into the groove mating with the side faces, thereby securely joining the two components toghether and while ensuring centering of the two fitting elements and definitive positioning of the joined furniture components.
