2074189 9209497 PCTABS00013 A method and apparatus are disclosed for detachably joining two members (21/22; 51/52) at a plurality of points along their corresponding edges (23/24; 53a/54) and without longitudinal displacement of these edges during and after closure of the joint. A movable wedge means (44; 61) is advanced between pairs of force receiving points (35-38/41, 42; 55, 58) connected to each of the two members. As the wedge means is advanced in the apex direction, the pairs of points are forced apart and, in direct response, the corresponding edges are drawn together. Variations on two fundamental embodiments are disclosed, one is linear and the other is circular. In the linear embodiment, two doors, panels or bars are joined. In circular embodiments, round tubes or rods are joined or a circular cap is secured to a container or enclosure. The invention may also be embodied in kits for joining linear or circular members. In other embodiments, a gasket material (59) and/or other component is placed and retained between the corresponding edges.
