Mitered Joint Compression Fastener

摘要

Disclosed is a four piece symmetrical compression fastener for a mitered joint. The fastener includes two L-brackets, each L-bracket having two flat plates intersecting each other at angles in two dimensions, the intersecting edges of the flat plates forming two right angles. The L-brackets are spaced apart from each other by both a large L-brace and a small L-brace, each brace interconnecting with each flat plate of each L-bracket. Upon the fastener being inserted into two mitered joining pieces, the flat plates of the L-brackets are compressed into curved plates that press against the interior of the joining piece and secure the fastener within the pieces. The two mitered joining pieces cooperate to fully enclose the compression fastener.
