Connector for orthogonal plates
A connector includes a first plate (10) and a second plate (30) perpendicular to the first plate. The first plate includes a base (12) defining two cutouts (16), and a perpendicular flange (14) defining a locking slot (19) and defining two openings (18) in communication with the corresponding cutouts. Two shoulders (17) are formed in the first plate on opposite sides of each cutout. The second plate includes two protrusions (32) and two hooks (44). Each protrusion defines two horizontal grooves (36), and two vertical grooves (37) for facilitating deformation of the protrusion. Two pairs of slits (38) are defined in a rearmost periphery of each protrusion, in communication with the corresponding grooves. In joining the first and second plates together, the horizontal grooves receive the corresponding shoulders. Edges of the flange adjacent each opening engage in the corresponding slits, and the hooks engage in the locking slot.
