A FRAMEWORK STRUCTURE

摘要

The connector comprises a body (10), a first group of at least four projections (16) which extend outwardly from the body in a common plane. A second group of at least four projections (20) extend outwardly from the body at an angle of between 15 DEG and 75 DEG to the aforesaid plane and preferably at 45 DEG to said plane. The projections of each group are equi-angularly spaced about an axis (18) normal to said plane and the projections (20) of the second group are angularly staggered by half the angle between adjacent projections of the first group about said axis relative to the projections (16) of the first group. Each projection is of non-circular and preferably triangular cross-section and the body (10) and projections (16, 20) are made of non-flexible plastics material. Such connectors are used to connect together elongate members having tubular ends at least to form a frame work structure.
