Abstract
A multiple panel assembly which is an improvement in the panel assembly of U.S. Pat. No. 3,430,997 in which the four parts of said patent forming the hanger bracket and connector assembly mounted on the opposing edges of two adjacent panel edges is replaced by a unique one-piece hanger bracket/connector strip. Such strip is substantially less costly to manufacture and install on the panel. Within a more narrow aspect of this invention, the wedging members that draw the panel edges toward each other are uniquely configured to accommodate use of the hanger bracket/connector strip with the hanger bracket and connector assembly of U.S. Pat. No. 3,430,997.
