Patent ID: 7914223

Claim:
A joint assembly comprising: a structure comprising a base and a pair of elongated legs each extending from a proximal end at the base to a distal end and spaced apart to define a channel therebetween, the legs extending longitudinally along the base, at least one of the elongated legs having a slot extending into the distal end of the at least one elongated leg toward the proximal end; and a web coupled to the structure in the channel, the web having: a planar surface with a front side, a back side, a top side, a lower side, and a longitudinal length, the lower side positioned within the channel, a boss extending outwardly from the front side or the back side in a position correspondingly matched to the slot such that when the web is positioned within the channel, the boss is received within the slot such that a first gap is created having a constant spacing between the lower side of the web and the base of the structure, and a plurality of spaced apart rails positioned on the front and back sides, each rail projecting outward from the planar surface and extending upwardly toward the top side from the lower side to just past a height of the elongated legs when the boss is received within the slot to create a second gap having a constant spacing between the front side and back side of the web and the elongated legs; and an adhesive bonding the web to the structure, the adhesive filling the constant spacing of the first gap and the constant spacing of the second gap.
