Claim Text:
1. A structural connection arrangement, comprising: a first member extending along a first longitudinal axis, wherein the first member defines an end; a second member extending along a second longitudinal axis, wherein the second member defines an abutment wall having an inner surface and an outer surface, wherein the abutment wall includes at least one opening extending between the inner and outer surfaces of the abutment wall and oriented in a transverse direction relative to the second longitudinal axis, wherein the end of the first member is positioned adjacent to and facing the outer surface of the abutment wall of the second member; one or more connection members carried by the first member for securing the first and second members together, each connection member comprising: wherein the tab extends in a direction that is transverse to the first longitudinal axis; and a coupling arrangement that is engageable with the first member and with each of the connection members, wherein the coupling arrangement is configured to selectively provide movement of the connection member in a direction that is transverse to the first longitudinal axis toward a surface of the first member to an engaged position; wherein when the end of the first member is positioned adjacent to and facing the outer surface of the abutment wall of the second member at a location adjacent the at least one opening of the second member, the tab extends into and through the at least one opening of the second member, and wherein movement of the connection member to the engaged position is operable to move the tab in a direction along the second longitudinal axis into engagement with the inner surface of the abutment wall of the second member adjacent the opening to prevent movement of the second member away from the first member along the first longitudinal axis.
