Claim:
A corner bracket for a bow in a transportation canopy structure where the canopy structure has one or more tarps and the bow comprises a spaced pair of jambs and a header, the corner bracket comprising: two separate and cooperating bracket parts that are mirror images of one another about a medial plane of the corner bracket, each bracket part defining a face, the two parts being joinable together to form the corner bracket by bringing the faces of the two parts into abutment, each bracket part comprising: a body defining a first end face and a second end face opposite the first end face, the end faces being substantially orthogonal to one another, an outer edge of the body defining a channel facing the face of the bracket part such that when the two bracket parts are joined together the channels of each bracket part cooperate to define a re-entrant passage for receiving a portion of the one or more tarps; and a first tongue extending from the first end face and a second tongue extending from the second end face of the body, wherein the first tongues and the second tongues of the corner bracket are adapted to be received in an end of a said jamb and in an end of the header of the bow to connect a said jamb and header together.
