Abstract

The present invention is directed to an interconnecting stucture (10) for a relocatable wall. The successively adjacent wall panel assemblies (11) are joined in a linear intersection (12) by a cam key block (35) secured to the vertical frame members (21) of the successive wall panel assmelbies (11A and 11B). Cam surfaces (55) and lateral locators (65) are presented from the cam key blocks (35). The lateral locators (65) are of such configuration that when the cam key blocks (35) are disposed in opposed pairs, the lateral locators (65) effect lateral alignment of the cam key blocks (35). A cam key (75) presents at least two pair of locking bolts ( 80 and 81) which extend transversely outwardly from said disk portion (78) of the cam key (75). The lock bolts (80 and 81) are disposed in diametric opposition and are complementary to the cam surfaces (55) on the cam key blocks (35). The cam key (75) is rotatable with respect to the cam key block (35) selectively to position the locking bolts (80 and 81) in engagement with the cam surfaces (55) on the cam key blocks (35). The present invention cam also be employed to join converging wall panel assemblies (11) by the interposition of post arrangements (20) which are adapted to present the requisite cam key blocks (35) for interaction with the cam key blocks on the wall panel assemblies (11). An alternative cam key block (125) is also disclosed, and a variation of the cam key block concept is incorporated in the end cap clip (155).
