Explanation:
It seems that the dispositivo trapézio was invented by a company called Hettich in 1955. First, here's what their Portuguese history page says:

"Em 1955 foi iniciado o fabrico de dispositivos de montagem, que em 1960 veio definir novos padrões construtivos com o surgimento do dispositivo de montagem Trapézio patenteado, com recobrimento visível. Este elemento não necessitava de buchas e tornou desnecessária qualquer furação de orifícios para buchas."

Now here's the corresponding English page:
"In 1955, connecting fittings were added to the product range, leading in 1960 to the patented, visible block connecting fitting that set new standards for furniture construction. This was a dowelless fitting, saving furniture manufacturers the effort of drilling dowel holes."
