摘要

A connection system, for I-section strips with hollow flanges, has thick-walled tube sections (1) welded to the strip ends. The tube sections (1), which accept the strip connecting bolts (3), have an externally coned abutting end and a plain inner end. The externally coned abutting ends mate with internally coned bores formed in short connection spacers (2) or in intermediate/end plates. ADVANTAGE - A simple connection system suitable for many types of connection.
