Abstract:
A joint assembly, comprising:a base member having a contact surface, the contact surface having a first frictional position-holding means; a wedge member having a contact surface substantially complementary to the contact surface of the base member and being connected to the base member, the contact surface of the wedge member having a second frictional position-holding means, wherein the first position-holding means and the second position-holding means are substantially complementary; an assembly thickness being defined by the wedge member positioned on the base member; a malleable connector connecting the wedge member to the base member; whereby sliding of the wedge member along the base member, with the contact surface of the wedge member in communication with the contact surface of the base member, increases the assembly thickness, and the first position-holding means interacts with the second position-holding means to retain the wedge member in position on the base member.
