Abstract
Window frame members are joined by an arrangement comprising a pair of frame strip members having in cross section a U-shaped receptor. Each of the arms of the receptor have laterally inwardly directed projections. A connecting strip is provided having in cross section a central portion and a catch lug at each end for entry within the receptor. The catch lug is provided with outwardly directed projections on each of its lateral sides which cooperate with the inner edge of the inwardly directed projections on the receptor. The catch lug and the receptor are formed so that a cavity is defined within the receptor, which cavity can be filled with a hardenable filler.
