A joint connection for connecting two metallic members to prevent relative movement between the members. One of the members is provided with a hollow deformable boss having inwardly sloping sides which is configured to slip fit partially within a cooperating aperature in the other member. The members are squeezed together by a nut and bolt such that the boss deforms and makes metal-to-metal contact with the other member and with the shank of the bolt. A first embodiment describes the joint connection with a hollow tube and U-shaped bracket. A second embodiment describes the connection for securing flat plates in parallel overlapping relationship. |
