Abstract
A molded fastener (10) is provided for releasably coupling a side panel member (16) to a display panel member (18) in generally planar orthogonal relationship. The side panel (16) includes a through opening (20) through which the fastener (10) is partially inserted. The fastener (10) includes a one-piece formation having a base portion (26) with a diameter greater than the diameter of the side panel member through opening (20). The base portion (26) extends to a central portion (30) of the fastener and has a diameter substantially equal to the panel member through opening (20). A pair of longitudinally extending arm members (32 and 34) are secured to the central portion (30) of the fastener (10) and are adapted to clampingly engage the display member (18) on opposing surfaces thereof.
