Abstract
An elongated spline made of injection molded plastic or some other material and having multiple sets of fingers that fit firmly into the row of pre-existing holes along the side edges of corrugated or fluted plastic so as to form strong, structural corners between two or more sheets of corrugated or fluted plastic.
Claims2
A connecting piece, or spline, fashioned from any variety of materials for combining sheets of fluted plastic with multiple fingers entering the holes (or flutes) along the edges of said sheets in order to make angles between two or more sheets for corner forming without need of extra joining materials such as nails, screw, and blocks and especially for making closed structures such as boxes with three sides or more when combining multiple sheets and multiple corner splines into the box or structure.
An elongated piece as claimed in section 1, wherein:
- consisting of a single row of fingers that enter the holes or flutes of one sheet only as an end-cap to close up the flutes and to support a hinge for connecting to other sheets of fluted plastic.
