Abstract:
1. A slide for a frame structure, comprising: a bar extending along a main axis and having an inner face, an outer face and a bolt-receiving bore therethrough, the bolt-receiving bore extending between the inner face and the outer face along a bore axis at an acute angle to the outer face; a sliding member slidably mounted to the bar for slideable movement along the main axis; a bolt extending through the bolt-receiving bore in the bar; an elongated frame member having a surface with a slot therein; and a nut receivable in the slot and including a bolt-receiving bore therein, the bolt-receiving bore adapted for receiving the bolt in a mating relationship; wherein: the slot is defined by: first and second converging sidewalls having terminal ends, the sidewalls lying in corresponding planes which are at acute angles to the surface in which the slot extends; first and second diverging outer abutment walls which extend from the terminal ends of the first and second converging sidewalls and have terminal ends; and first and second diverging inner abutment walls extending from the terminal ends of the first and second diverging outer abutment walls toward the surface in which the slot extends, the first and second diverging inner abutment walls having terminal ends and diverging from the first and second converging sidewalls, respectively, as the first and second diverging inner abutment walls extend away from the first and second diverging outer abutment walls, respectively; and the nut includes: a generally flat engagement surface having first and second edges and being engageable with one of the first and second diverging outer abutment walls; a first abutment wall extending from the first edge of the engagement surface and engageable with one of the first and second diverging inner abutment walls; an alignment surface extending from the second edge of the engagement surface and having a terminal edge; a second abutment wall extending from the terminal edge of the alignment surface and being engageable with the other of the first and second diverging outer abutment walls, the second abutment wall having a terminal edge; and a third abutment wall extending from the terminal edge of the second abutment wall and being engageable with the other of the first and second diverging inner abutment walls, the third abutment wall having a terminal edge.
