Claim 10:
11. A coupling apparatus configured to operably bind a first bamboo pole and a second bamboo pole wherein the coupling apparatus comprises:
a first portion, said first portion having a first section and a second section, said first section and said second section of said first portion being integrally formed, said first section being planar in manner having a first side and a second side, said second section configured to be operably coupled with a said first section ensuing said first section being circumferentially disposed around the first bamboo pole or the second bamboo pole, said first section being releasably secured within said second section, said section having a wall member, said wall member being generally ring shaped having an opening within said wall member, said second section of said first portion having a locking member, said locking member being mounted within said opening of said second section of said first portion, said second section having a first position and a second position, in said first position a leading edge of said locking member is biased against an inner surface of said wall member, in said second position of said second section said locking member is removed from said inner surface so as to create a void between said leading edge and said inner surface so as to allow a portion of said first section to be placed therein;
a second portion, said second portion configured to operably couple with said first portion, said second portion having a first embodiment and a second embodiment, said first embodiment configured to operably couple the first bamboo pole and the second bamboo pole in a first orientation, said second embodiment configured to operably couple the first bamboo pole and the second bamboo pole in a second orientation; and
wherein the second embodiment of the second portion is configured to operably couple the first bamboo pole and the second bamboo pole in an angular orientation.
