Patent ID: 8100600

Claim:
An assembly comprising: a first frame member having a longitudinal axis and including a longitudinally extending channel, the channel defined in part by an interior surface; a second frame member; and a connector member interconnecting the first frame member and the second frame member, the connector member including: a body having a first end and a second end spaced longitudinally from the first end, wherein the body is received within the channel in the first frame member, the body including opposite, laterally extending flanges, each of the flanges defining a planar exterior surface such that the planar exterior surfaces are in facing relation to the interior surface of the channel; and a fulcrum defined on the exterior surfaces of the flanges between the first end and second end, the fulcrum defining a contact surface forming the only discontinuity along the planar exterior surfaces of the flanges, the contact surface comprising a protrusion extending in a direction generally normal to the longitudinal axis that engages the interior surface of the channel, the fulcrum providing a pivot point about which the body pivots within the channel to selectively lock the first and second frame members against relative movement; wherein the fulcrum defines a pivot axis extending generally normal to the longitudinal axis; such that when the body pivots about the fulcrum within the channel to selectively lock the first and second frame members against relative movement, the exterior surfaces engage the interior surface at a location spaced from the fulcrum toward the first end of the body, and the exterior surfaces do not engage the interior surface at any location between the fulcrum and the second end of the body.
