A corner bracket (20, 120) forming part of a system of corner brackets adapted for mechanically inter-connecting in an air tight manner generally rectangular duct portions (37, 38). A first bracket (12) on the end of a first duct (37) is placed in adjacent, abutting, back to back relationship with a second bracket (6) on a second duct (38) and similarly at all four corners of the duct ends. Tabs (27, 127) which are formed from the corner bracket (20, 120) are located so as to be foldable over the adjacent, back to back brackets so as to mechanically bind the brackets together. The folding operation can be performed with hand tools such as hammers and the like. Using appropriate seals an air tight, mechanically sound duct join is accomplished. The brackets and the bracket inter-connection system are particularly suited for use with air conditioning duct networks. |
