A corner connector device has outside and inside connector components each having a length. The outside component has first and second legs integrally connected along a lengthwise seam. The outside connecter component has an outside connector that extends lengthwise along the seam and projects from an outside surface. The inside connector component has third and fourth legs integrally connected along a lengthwise seam. The inside connector component has an inside connector that extends along the seam and projects from an inside surface. The inside and outside connectors can be lengthwise connected to and disconnected from one another with surfaces of the connector components spaced a distance from one another. Panels meeting at a corner can be captured between the spaced surfaces of the two connector components.

What is claimed is: 1. A corner connector device and panel combination, the corner connector device forming a reusable corner joint to support two panels, the combination comprising:(A) an outside connector component having a length and, when viewed in cross-section, comprising:(a) a first leg and a second leg, the first leg integrally connected to the second leg along a lengthwise seam and forming a channel, the first and second legs each having an inside surface oriented relative to one another at an angle W of less than 180 degrees and each having an outside surface oriented relative to one another at an angle X of more than 180 degrees, and(b) an outside connector extending lengthwise along the outside connector component parallel to the seam and projecting from one of the outside surfaces;(B) an inside connector component having a length and, when viewed in cross-section, comprising:(a) a third leg and a fourth leg, the third leg integrally connected to the fourth leg along a lengthwise seam and forming a channel, the third and fourth legs each having an inside surface oriented relative to one another at an angle Y of less than 180 degrees and each having an outside surface oriented relative to one another at an angle Z of more than 180 degrees, and(b) an inside connector extending lengthwise along the inside connector component parallel to the seam and projecting from one of the inside surfaces; and(C) two panel structures,wherein the inside and outside connectors can be lengthwise selectively connected to and disconnected from one another with confronting parts of the outside surfaces of the outside connector component and inside surfaces of the inside connector component spaced a distance from one another, wherein one of the inside and outside connectors has a pair of connector flanges that are lengthwise spaced apart, and wherein the other of the inside and outside connectors has a connector flange that interferingly fits between the pair of connector flanges when the inside and outside connectors are connected,wherein the outside connector component has a fastener groove extending lengthwise along each of the outside surfaces of the first and second legs, and wherein the inside connector component has a fastener groove extending lengthwise along each of the inside surfaces of the third and fourth legs,wherein the outside connector component can be optionally and removably mounted to an outside corner of a structure via fasteners passing through the fastener grooves in the first and second legs and the inside connector component can be connected thereto, the two panel structures supported between the respective confronting parts of the first and third legs and the second and fourth legs forming an outside paneled corner, andwherein the inside connector component can be optionally and removably mounted to an inside corner of a structure via fasteners passing through the fastener grooves in the third and fourth legs and the outside connector component can be connected thereto, the two panel structures supported between the respective confronting parts of the first and third legs and the second and fourth legs forming an inside paneled corner.
