Abstract:
1. A method of forming a connection comprising: a. selecting a pair of connectors, each of said connectors having b. selecting a first structural member, said first structural member having a pair of inner surfaces that are substantially planar and lie parallel to each other and a lateral surface that is substantially planar and joins with said inner surfaces along separate edges; c. selecting a second structural member, said second structural member having an inner surface that is substantially planar and a lateral surface that is substantially planar and joins with said inner surface along an edge; d. attaching a first of said pair of connectors to said second structural member by means of fasteners such that said outer surface of said second member interfaces with the inner surface of said second structural member and said fasteners connect said second member to said second structural member; e. attaching said first connector to said first structural member by means of fasteners such that said outer surface of said first member interfaces with the first of said parallel inner surfaces of said first structural member and said fasteners connect said first member to said first structural member; f. bending said second extension member of said first connector over such that said outer surface of said second extension member interfaces with said lateral surface of said second structural member; g. attaching said second extension member of said first connector to said second structural member by means of fasteners; h. attaching a second of said pair of connectors to said second structural member by means of fasteners such that said outer surface of said first member of said second connector interfaces with the inner surface of said second structural member and said fasteners connect said first member to said second structural member; i. attaching said second connector to said first structural member by means of fasteners such that said outer surface of said second member of said second connector interfaces with the second of said parallel inner surfaces of said first structural member and said fasteners connect said second member to said first structural member; j. bending said first extension member of said second connector over such that said outer surface of said first extension member interfaces with said lateral surface of said second structural member; and k. attaching said first extension member of said second connector to said second structural member by means of fasteners.
