Abstract:
A hinged connector is used to attach two generally coplanar first and second structural members while allowing for pivotal movement of the structural members in the plane of the structural members about an axis that is transverse or perpendicular to the plane in which the structural members rotate.

Claim (Index 11):
The connection of  claim 1 , wherein:\n a. the first structural member is formed with a second opposed attachment surface with the adjoining edge surface of the first structural member connecting the first attachment surface and the second opposed attachment surface of the first structural member; b. the second structural member is also formed with a second opposed attachment surface and the adjoining edge surface of the second structural member connecting the attachment surface and the second opposed attachment surface of the second structural member; c. a second connector identical to the hinged connector attached to the planar attachment surfaces of the first and second structural members is attached to the second opposed attachment surfaces of the first and second structural members, the second connector having a base member connected to the second structural member and a top member connected to the first structural member, the second connector also having a hinge that connects the base member to the top member, and the base member of the second connector is formed with fastener openings that are arranged in the same positions as the fastener openings of the base member of the hinged connector, and the top member of the second connector is formed with fastener openings that are arranged in the same positions as the fastener openings of the top member of the hinged connector; and wherein d. the hinge of the second connector and the hinge of the hinged connector are aligned, the base member of the hinged connector and the top member of the second connector overlie each other on the first structural member with the fastener openings of the base member of the hinged connector being staggered with respect to the fastener openings of the top member of the second connector, and the base member of the second connector and the top member of the hinged connector overlie each other with the fastener openings of the base member of the second connector being staggered with respect to the fastener openings of the top member of the first connector.
