Abstract
A pair of frame members have ends beveled at an angle of 45.degree. and mated with one another to provide a miter joint. The frame members have perpendicularly arranged plates each having an opening adjacent its one end to provide a separate end portion. A corner angle is mounted on the plates and has a pair of legs each having a projection of a V-shaped cross-section received in one of the openings. The V-shaped projections jointly provide a pair of substantially parallel members for clamping the separate end portions, the parallel members being fastened together by a screw passing therethrough. As the screw is tightened, the clamping members are moved closer to fasten the separate end portions securely together and to press the angle legs against the plates of the frame members.
Claims2
A frame joint comprising:
- a. a pair of perpendicularly arranged frame members each having an H-shaped cross-section defined by a pair of spaced outer walls and a connector plate extending therebetween for receiving and supporting a panel between said spaced outer walls at one side of said connector plate, the ends of said H-shaped members being angularly mated with each other, each of said connector plates having a rectangular opening therein adjacent its mated end providing an end portion therebetween;
- b. a corner angle piece of uniform thickness having legs disposed against the other sides of said connector plates, each said leg having a portion formed as a projection received in one of said rectangular openings, the edges of said legs engaging said outer walls, said angle piece having a continuous corner portion extending about said end portions;
- and
- c. means clamping said continuous corner portion to said end portions.
