摘要

The self-locking connector secures square or rectangular hollow section members at the joints of furniture pieces etc. It comprises two dissimilar parts (A & B). The main part (A) is a plate (1) with two edges (a,a') which bear on the walls of a member being secured, using two cranked flaps (2',2) to form a 'U' section tail. The second part is a rectangular spacer (B) which fits between the flaps (2) and the member being secured, and permits location of the connector in preparation for the fixing of transverse members. The plane contg. the arrisses is angled to the plate, the fitting forming a grip on one of the transverses once pivoted until the edges bite into the walls. The arrisses may be incorporated in a rectangular window in an angled extension of the plate.
