Connectors for structural members

A connector for connecting together a first structural member and a second structural member, comprising:

• a first plate assembly having two plates having ends symmetrically attached to each other at a predetermined angle for a predetermined axis;
• a second plate attached substantially perpendicularly to said plates, which is fitted into a predetermined cut portion provided in said first and second structural members;
• and
• a securing mechanism for securing the first structural member to the connector, said securing mechanism comprising:
• at least one round rod member disposed on opposite sides of the second plate, each said rod member being mounted at one end thereof to the first plate assembly and standing substantially perpendicularly therefrom and having a height less than the height of the second plate wherein said round rod members are closely fitted into recesses formed in the first structural member.

A connecting structure for connecting a first structural member and a second structural member by a connector,

• said connector comprising:
• a first plate;
• a second plate attached substantially perpendicularly to said first plate;
• a third plate connected to said second structural member, said third plate being attached to one end of said first plate at a predetermined angle;
• and
• a securing mechanism for securing said first structural member to said connector, said securing mechanism comprising at least one round rod member disposed on opposite sides of the second plate, each round rod member being mounted at one end thereof to the first plate, standing substantially perpendicular therefrom and having a height less than a height of the second plate wherein said round rod members are closely fitted into recesses formed in the first structural member,
• said first structural member comprising:
• a connecting portion for connecting said first structural member to said connector,
• wherein said connecting portion comprises a cut portion into which said second plate is fitted, said cut portion being substantially parallel to a longitudinal axis of said first structural member.

A connecting structure for connecting a first structural member and a second structural member by a connector,

• said connector comprising:
• a first plate assembly having two plates with ends attached to each other at a predetermined angle in symmetry along a predetermined axis;
• a second plate attached substantially perpendicularly to said plates;
• and
• securing mechanism for securing said first and second structural members to said connector, said securing mechanism comprising at least one round rod member disposed on opposite sides of the second plate, each round rod member being mounted at one end thereof to the first plate, standing substantially perpendicular therefrom and having a height less than a height of the second plate wherein said round rod members are closely fitted into recesses formed in the first structural member,
• said first and second structural members comprising:
• a connecting portion for connecting said first and second structural member to said connector,
• wherein said connecting portion comprises a cut portion into which said second plate is fitted, said cut portion being substantially parallel to a longitudinal axis of said structural member.
