Abstract
A locking clip (20) for a bolt (12a to 12d) securing a desk top (10) and a pedestal (11) as panel members together is described. The clip engages the head (12i) of the bolt which is slid in a slot (11g to 11j) in a cross-member (11f) of the pedestal. The clip provides positive locking to prevent inadvertent separation of the panel members and allows the panel members to be separated by lifting a tab (20g).
