Patent ID: 10619405

Abstract:
Joint for the angular connection of a pair of hollow profile members (50) having an angular configuration corresponding to the angle of the assembled profile members (50) and comprising a slide base portion (2, 2′, 2″), a sheet metal portion (1, 1′) superimposed thereupon and a bolt (5) passing through the sheet metal portion (1, 1′) and screwed into a nut (4) mounted onto the base portion (2, 2′, 2″), wherein tightening of bolt (5) pushes upwardly extending surfaces on either side of portion (1, 1′) whereby their sharp edges indent the walls of the hollow profile members being connected. The indentation and efficient angular connection of the hollow profile members is enhanced through: a) forming of the sharp edges of the sheet metal to align an aberrant edge thereof in an indentation appropriate direction, b) appropriately orienting the sheet metal portion (1, 1′) to comply with a set of predetermined geometrical parameters and c) selectively employing varying embodiments of the slide base portion to obtain rapprochement of the points of indentation of the walls being indented.
