<p>Interconnecting apparatus (10) for a pair of structural members or space frame assemblies which avoids complex connectors while preserving its strength and capability of preventing disconnection. Apparatus (10) includes a button (12) attached to and end of one structural member and a receiver (18) attached to the end of another structural member. Receiver (18) includes a cradle (38) with a wall (40) on one side and a lip (42) on the other. Button (12) fits snugly into cradle (38) between wall (40) and lip (42) and is retained thereby a locking mechanism, such as clip (24). Interconnect mechanism (10) may be used in a variety of applications including connecting a pair of trusses together and creating a space frame structure.</p> |
