A connecting apparatus removably engages first and second articles to one another, the apparatus including a beam with a first protrusion ridge being attached to the first article, a housing with a first aperture with a slidable channel having a second protrusion ridge disposed within the housing, the first and second ridges removably engage, the housing is attached to the second article, resulting in the first and second articles being removably engaged to one another. Operationally, the beam is pushed into the housing first aperture until the first ridge contacts and deflects the second ridge with continued pushing the second ridge returns to an un-deflected state with the first and second ridges interlocked to one another, the channel is selectively slid away from the beam to disengage the first and second protrusion ridges from one another to separate the channel and the beam, thus separating the first and second articles.
