A connector device assembly of the add-on type and suitable for securing a second member, such as a metal tube, or branch (14) extending from a position between the ends of a first member (15), such as another metal tube, without the need to slide components along the first member comprises two connector devices (20) each having a first body region (23) which defines a recess formation (24) to accommodate a first member of a structural assembly, and at least one of the connector devices comprising a second body (22) region for securing a second member which is required to be connected to the structural assembly, said two connector devices (20) each having at least one edge formation provided with an aperture (27) which extends substantially parallel with the longitudinal direction of said first member and respective edge formations of said two connector devices being aligned in the assembly to receive a locking member (40) extending therethrough, the locking member being arranged in the assembly to be loaded substantially only in shear to hold the connector devices (20) in position relative to one another and the first member. <IMAGE> |
