Italian term

Tiranti ed eccentrici

Italian to English Other Furniture / Household Appliances
I hope the moderators will forgive me for putting two words in the question, but in the text they are always related, so it's as if they were a single term (I hope!). They appear in the list of items included in an assembly kit for an undersink cupboard. The full list reads:

spine legno
**tiranti ed eccentrici**
viti e tasselli

Other examples from the text:
Bloccare i tiranti con gli eccentrici
Infilare i due traversi nei tiranti e bloccare con gli eccentrici

Any ideas... thanks, Sarah.

tie rods and cams (also 'eccentrics')

Tie rods are used for durable corner construction.
My reference is the Marolli dictionary.
Note from asker:
Thanks Helen... "tie-rod" was actually my first thought for "tirante", but after googling it I wasn't sure if it was the right term in a furniture assembly context.
