US 5,494,370 A · T-joint between two sections

Abstract

A T-joint includes a frame extending along a longitudinal axis. A rung has at least one cavity and at least one cavity wall. The at least one cavity wall is parallel to the longitudinal axis. The rang has at least one fill opening. At least one T-joint part is fixedly connected to the frame. The at least one T-joint part extends into the at least one cavity. The at least one T-joint part is mechanically connected to the rung and is glued to the rung. The at least one T-joint part has at least one glue distribution channel that is substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis. The at least one T-joint part has at least one transverse opening which extends toward the at least one cavity wall such that the at least one fill opening, the at least one glue distribution channel and the at least one transverse opening are in fluid communication.
