Abstract:
A set of components that can be used to construct a structurally sound dock are disclosed. The components can be extruded and the components are shaped such that interconnected components provide support for the other components thereby alleviating weak points due to welded only joints. A fascia channel provides additional strength by including structures that improve the vertical and horizontal strength of the fascia channel. HDPE plastic inserts and sheaves provide sound dampening for metal to metal contact points. Other components include a corner connector, a post system and a hinge system. The focus of this disclosure is the corner connector.

Claim (Index 1):
A component for use in a structure, the component being used for joining beams together and for receiving posts, the component comprising:\n a first side including a beam insert interface and an external wall having an outer surface and an inner surface, a first end of the outer surface being proximate to the beam insert interface and a second end being distal to the beam insert interface; a second side including a beam insert interface and an external wall having an outer surface and an inner surface, a first end of the outer surface being proximate to the beam insert interface and a second end being distal to the beam insert interface; a spine wherein the second end of the outer surface of the first side and the second end of the outer surface of the second side beam meet and form a particular angle; a post receptacle affixed to at least one of the outer surface of the first side, the inner surface of the first side, the outer surface of the second side and the inner surface of the second side, the post receptacle having an exterior surface and defining a cavity for receiving a post; wherein the beam insert interface of the first side and the beam insert interface of the second side are configured to be inserted into a cavity of a first beam and a second beam respectively, thereby adjoining the beams.
