Patent ID: 11927027

Abstract:
A support foot for securing a frame member on a supporting surface, comprising a base portion having a base surface for resting on said supporting surface; a central portion connected to the base portion, and a core having opposed first and second ends and a longitudinal axis extending between the first and second ends and configured to receive a frame member. The core comprises at least one resiliently deformable member extending from a root at the first end to a free distal end in a direction substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis and spaced from an inner surface of the central portion, whereby to form a gap into which the at least one resiliently deformable member can deform. The at least one resiliently deformable member is configured to deflect into the gap and away from an associated opposed surface. The at least one resiliently deformable member comprises a first surface configured to apply a first force to an outer surface of the frame member towards the associated opposed surface when the frame member is inserted into the core, and the at least one resiliently deformable member is configured to secure the frame member against said opposed surface when the frame member is inserted into the core.
