摘要

An interlocking member (100) for attaching two pieces of a fencing, privacy screen, awning, louvre or balustrade assembly together. The interlocking member (100) comprises a body (102) having an insertion end (104), a trailing end (106), a central longitudinal axis (CLA) from the insertion end (104) to the trailing end (106), and a wall (108) extending between the insertion and trailing ends. The wall includes an interior surface (112) oriented toward the central longitudinal axis, an exterior surface (110) oriented away from the central longitudinal axis and includes a flexible tab (115) configured to interdigitate with one of the pieces of the assembly to secure the body (100) thereto. The resilient tab (115) is integrally formed with the body (110) and includes a projection (122) extending from the interior surface (112) in a direction towards the central longitudinal axis (CLA). The body (110) is adapted to be secured to another of the pieces of the assembly to securely connect the two pieces of the assembly together.
