Abstract:
A support assembly and a method of assembling the support assembly that includes a structural member that is delimited by a first end and a second end with a first end cap configured to be arranged within the first end of the structural member and a second end configured to be arranged within the second end of the structural member to mount the structural member to a structure. The support assembly allows for forces to be applied in all directions without causing rotation or disengagement of the support assembly from a mounting structure.

Claim (Index 16):
A method of assembling corner support assembly, the method comprising:\n providing a structural member extending linearly about a first axis and being delimited by a first end extending at a first angle and a second end extending at a second angle such that a first plane extends along the first end of the structural member and a second plane extends along the second end of the structural member, a first end cap including a first body having a first projection that is configured to be arranged within the first end of the structural member and a second end cap including a second body having a second projection that is configured to be arranged within the second end of the structural member; fastening the first end cap to a first structure that extends along a third plane and the second end cap to a second structure that extends along a fourth plane which converges with and intersects the third plane such that the first structural element and the second structural element extend in non-parallel planes to each other with the first projection extending from the first structure along a second axis and the second projection extending from the second structure along a third axis with the second axis and the third axis converging toward each other; orientating the first end of the structural member to encompass the first projection such that the first axis of the structural member and the second axis of the first end cap intersect and orientating the second end of the structural member to encompass the second projection such that the first axis of the structural member and the third axis of the second end cap intersect, precluding rotation of the support assembly and eliminating moment forces on the support assembly; and\n fixing the structural member to the first projection of the first end cap and the second projection of the second end.
