The comparison of mechanical properties of corner joint in case construction of selected joints was presented in the paper. Connections were made of particleboard. The effect of a kind of a joint and of a number of fasteners on the stiffness and bending strength of joint was examined.
Effect of locating pins on the rigidity of demountable bookcase with joints of the confirmat type. The deformations of the bookcase assembled with the use of connectors of the confirmat type under the action of the horizontal force applied to the side wall of the bookcase were studied. It was found out that the effect of locating pins on bookcase deformations is slight, and that these deformations are greater when the useful load applied to shelves is smaller.
