Abstract
A channel-stop assembly includes an elongated C-shaped channel 26 having an aperture 76 adjacent one end thereof. Inserted in the channel is a channel-stop 40 having first and second body members 42, 44 which are hinged together. One of the body members is slidably fitted into the end of the channel, and the other body member is pivotal to a coupled position wherein a tab 72 on the second body member 44 protrudes within the aperture in the channel to prevent removal of the channel-stop from the end of the channel. The two body members can be uncoupled for removal of the tab from the channel aperture so that the channel-stop can be removed from the channel.
