This is a connector for partitions in office environments.  This die-cast zinc connector will hold the partitions together without mounting hardware associated with typical connectors.  the protruding spheres act as extenuations of the implied intersection of the partitions.  On the bottom, however, the spheres act as feet, keeping the partitions two inches from the ground.  When a partition ends, a different connector is used to define the end.  This connector is cast with the other connector reducing tooling cost.  In close, the connector is used for top and bottom assembly for the partitions.  It also connects all corners and walls.  The benefit with zinc is the strength and durability
