主权项

1. A joint connector for connecting in a flat continuous surface abutting edges of tapered drywall with a predefined untapered thickness comprising:
an extruded polymeric base; a column integral with said base projecting forward from said base a distance less than an untapered thickness of said drywall; and mud legs extending generally perpendicular to said column forming with said base and said column pockets for receipt of edges of said drywall, said mud legs having a surface in slight interference with a tapered portion of said drywall edge and said mud legs having a thickness less than a thickness of said base: whereby when the connector receives the tapered edges of the drywall, the length of the column from the base to the mud legs surface is less than said untapered thickness and whereby the connector is translucent.
