Beam clamp assembly for conservatories

A clamped beam assembly comprising clamp means and a plurality of beans radiating from it in a non-coplanar array each of said beams terminating with an inner end abutment face which is perpendicular to its length, said clamp means comprising:

• a. a base piece including a floor defining a base plane and having a plurality of floor portions at angles to the base plane, each of said floor portions supporting an inner end of one of said beams;
• b. wall means rising from said floor portions and being arranged in an at least a partly-polygonal array in order to provide a plurality of abutment surfaces for receiving the inner end abutment faces of said beams, said abutment surfaces being perpendicular to their respective floor portions;
• c. a cap piece, having a plurality of crenellations along its lower edge;
• and
• d. means for clamping the base piece and the cap piece together with said inner end of the beams clamped between them and each of said inner end of the beams being received by one of the crenellations in the cap piece.
