A modular unit and an assembly of modular units of “knock down”construction includes means for joining the components to form a stable construction having a “finished look.”The components include projections which interengage frictionally. A unit or assembly of units may be open or closed and may be wall mounted or free standing.

Means for connecting two components suitable for use in a modular unit in which the components are interengaged along adjacent surfaces, said means comprising: A. a plurality of first and second L-shaped projections aligned on a surface of a first component, a leg of each projection extending from the surface of the component and a foot portion of each projection extending laterally of the leg, a tapered surface on the foot portion facing the surface, the legs of the first projections being spaced laterally on the surface from the legs of the second projections on the surface and the foot portions of said first projections being directed opposite to and toward the foot portions of said second projections; and B. a plurality of first and second L-shaped projections aligned on a surface of a second component, a leg of each projection extending from the surface of said second component and a foot portion of each projection extendiNg laterally of the leg, a tapered surface on the foot portion facing said surface, the legs of the projections being in substantial alignment with each other and the foot portions of the first projections being directed opposite to and away from the foot portions of said second projections, the legs on the projections on the surface of said first component being spaced sufficiently laterally to admit the foot portions of the projections on the surface of said second component and the foot portions of the projections on the surface of the first component being spaced sufficiently to admit the legs of the projections on the surface of said second component, the tapered surfaces of said projections on the surface of the first component being adapted to frictionally engage the tapered surfaces of the projections on the surface of said second component.
