Lost flat pack furniture screws

  1. Hi all, this has nothing to do with VWs! But I couldn't think of anywhere else to ask. I'm putting together a child's bed and there's some screws missing. But they're not the normal type. They're those strange ones which come with flat pack furniture. If someone can tell me what they're called then I might be able to track some down on the net. They're the ones where you join a horizontal piece of wood with a vertical piece. You know, putting two angels of wood together. Smaller normal-ish looking crews go into the horizontal piece (I've got those). Then, to attach it to the vertical bit, a bigger strange looking bolt / screw goes in, smothers the smaller screw and locks it into place with a turn of a phillips screwdriver.

    Does anyone have a clue what I'm talking about? If so, what are those big bolts / screw things called?
