发明名称 EXTRUDED FRAME MEMBER FOR STRUCTURAL CONNECTION AND METHOD OF FORMING SAME
摘要 A fastener structure which allows for connecting a first connector member to a second connector member, the second connector member having a slot for receiving the first connector member. The first connector member has a pair of generally parallel, relatively stiff, yieldable legs that are spaced apart a distance substantially equivalent to a width of the slot. The slot has an open end defined by confronting spaced apart sidewalls. The yieldable legs have outwardly forming cam surfaces that are sized and shaped for camming engagement with the confronting spaced apart sidewalls, thus causing the yieldable legs to yield towards one another as the first connector member is pushed into the slot in the second connector member. The yieldable legs have oppositely facing locking abutments, the slot sidewalls have notched areas spaced inwardly from the open end of the slot for receiving the locking abutments to secure the yieldable legs in a secured fitted position in the slot with the yieldable legs being formed and shaped to exert forces to hold the locking abutments in the notched areas. The fastener structure further includes a lock key member that is slideable longitudinally between the yieldable legs and is engageable with confronting inner faces of the yieldable legs to further secure the locking abutments of the yieldable legs in the notched areas.
