Joint Construction and Method of Making Same

摘要

A method of joining a first workpiece having a first surface and a second surface angularly disposed relative to such first surface, and a second workpiece having a surface disposable in abutting relation relative to the second surface of such first workpiece, comprising forming a recess in the first surface of such first workpiece, sloped toward and spaced from the second surface of such first workpiece, producing an end surface thereof disposed at an angle relative to a longitudinal centerline of such recess; forming a notched ledge on the end surface of such recess; positioning a threaded fastener in the sloped recess with a head portion thereof resting on a bottom surface of the recess and the threaded portion thereof disposed along the centerline with the end thereof resting on such ledge; disposing the surface of the second workpiece in abutting relation with the second surface of the first workpiece; and threading the threaded fastener along the longitudinal centerline of such recess, through such abutting surfaces of such workpieces to join such workpieces together.

1. A method of joining a first workpiece having a first surface and a second surface angularly disposed relative to said first surface, and a second workpiece having a surface disposable in abutting relation relative to said second surface of said first workpiece; comprising:
forming an elongated recess in said first surface of said first workpiece, sloped toward and spaced from said second surface of said first workpiece, producing an end surface thereof disposed at an angle relative to a longitudinal centerline of said recess; forming a notched ledge on said end surface of said recess; positioning a threaded fastener in said sloped recess with a head portion thereof resting on a bottom surface of said recess and the threaded portion thereof disposed along said longitudinal centerline with the end thereof resting on said ledge; disposing said surface of said second workpiece in abutting relation with said second surface of said first workpiece; and threading said threaded fastener along said longitudinal centerline of said recess, through said abutting surfaces of said workpieces to join said abutting workpieces together.
