Claims13
An improved connector for spaced metal parts, said metal parts having facing projections of L-shape cross section;
- comprising an elongated one-piece core of plastic material shaped for longitudinal sliding engagement and to enclose the outer limbs of said L-shape projections, said core being substantially non-elastic at the part thereof engaging said projections but of increased elasticity at the outer part and having a longitudinal cavity in this outer part;
- and a strip of wedge shape cross section engaged in said longitudinal cavity.
An improved connector for spaced metal parts having longitudinal, parallel, facing metal L-shaped projections, comprising an elongated one-piece core of plastic material having a longitudinal inner portion substantially non-elastic and shaped with recesses to receive and engage said L-shaped projections and to enclose at least one leg of said L-shaped projections, and a longitudinal outer portion of increased elasticity and having a longitudinal cavity;
- and an elongated strip of wedge shape cross section sized for engagement in said cavity.
