In this study, it
has been searched that the strength performances of montable
fastenersh, which are made up from particleboard, fiberboard
and particleboard surfaced with synthetic resin sheet were used
for case furniture joints. 10 specimens were prepared for
each material, load type and fasteners, and a total of 300
specimens were tested under withdrawal, diagonal tensile and
diagonal compression loads. As a result, in the diagonal
tension and diagonal compression tests, the processed fiberboard with plastic minifix fastener and in the
withdrawal tests, the processed fiberboard with metal minifix
fastener have given the best result, particleboard with
metal minifix fastener and the processed particleboard with
plastic minifix have given the worst result.
Key words: Case construction, wood based boards,
corner joints, minifix type fasteners, withrawal strength,
diagonal compression strength, diagonal tensile strength. |
