Abstract

panel assembly (10) comprising at least one frame member (12) having a plurality of openings (16) spaced along one edge; a plurality of panels (14) each panel being elongate, at least partially hollow, and having internal walls, and each panel fitting into one of the openings; a corresponding fastening element (18) for connecting each panel to the frame member, the fastening element having a substantially constant cross section in its longitudinal direction; the frame member further having a mating portion oriented towards the said edge, wherein the fastening element has a frame engaging portion arranged to engage with the mating portion of the frame member and a panel engaging portion arranged to engage with the internal walls of the panel, the fastening element being sized such that the frame engaging portion is arranged to be inserted through one of the openings, wherein the panel engaging portion is arranged to provide a frictional force between the fastening element and the internal walls of the panel to impede relative movement of the fasting element and the panel. The invention provides a panel assembly that does not require additional fasteners and prevents cosmetic damage during assembly from being visible in the final assembled product.
