Claim 10:
11. A structural framework comprising:
(a) a first support beam, the first beam having ends forming a channel shape with an interior, the ends having at least one socket, the at least one socket having interior and exterior surfaces, the first support beam having a longitudinal centerline, and the first support beam having a bottom opening located next to the at least one socket;
(b) a second support beam, the second support beam having ends forming a channel shape with an interior, the ends having at least one inwardly facing socket, the at least one socket having interior and exterior surfaces, the second support beam having a longitudinal centerline;
(c) a first support bracket connected to the first support beam, the first support bracket comprising:
(i) a first flange,
(ii) a second flange, the first flange forming an angle with the second flange,
(iii) a support section connected to the first flange, wherein the first and second flanges are at least partially located in the interior of the first support beam, and the second flange extends into and is supported by the interior surface of the at least one socket of the first support beam, and the first flange extends below the first socket of the first support beam and contact between the first flange and the exterior surface of the at least one socket in combination with the support of the second flange by the interior surface of the at least one socket resists rotation of the first support bracket about an axis which is generally parallel to the longitudinal centerline of the first support beam, and
(iv) a first clamping section releasably connectable to the first support bracket squeezing the first support beam between the first support bracket and the first clamping section.
