Connector for an elongate member in frame structures

A structural member comprising in combination first and second elongate members joined by a connector;

• said combination wherein:
• (a) said first member has a lug fixedly attached thereto and extending outwardly therefrom and a side surface;
• (b) said second member has an end portion shaped to engage said first member side surface, said end portion including an annular axial bore;
• (c) a plate member fixedly attached at opposite ends thereof to said bore and having first and second faces;
• said first and second faces being at angles with respect to the axis of said bore;
• (d) said lug being rectangular in cross-section and of a shape and size to fit in said bore;
• said lug having planar sides and the corners being edges for linear engagement with said bore;
• said lug including an end face substantially parallel to and in opposing relationship with said plate member first face;
• (e) elongate fastener means substantially normal to said plate second face;
• said fastener means extending through said plate member into said lug member for securely positioning said plate member in relationship to said lug members such that said first member is located and maintained in a predetermined position relative to said second member;
• and said elongate fastener means urges said peripheral end edge against said first member side surface;
• and
• (f) said second member having an aperture near said plate member and generally in line with said fastener means so as to provide access in applying and removing said fastener means.
