摘要:A connector for securing rail members together to form an assembled structure. The connector having a plurality of connector sections, each with a formed area and a brace member extending from the formed area, configured to be tightened together about the rail members and inducing a hoop stress in the rail and thereby securing the rails within the connector.
主权项:1. A connector for joining a plurality of rail members, the connector comprising: a first connector section comprising a first formed area shaped to substantially match the peripheral shape of the plurality of rails and a first brace member extending radially outward from and along the first formed area, the first brace member having a first brace aperture therethrough; a second connector section comprising a second formed area shaped to substantially match the peripheral shape of the plurality of rails and a second brace member extending radially outward from and along the second formed area, the second brace member having a second brace aperture therethrough; the first brace aperture alignable with the second brace aperture; the connector configured to receive a rail member movable within the first formed area and the second formed area, both rotationally and linearly; and the first brace aperture and the second brace aperture configured to receive a fastener, whereby when the fastener is tightened a hoop stress is induced from the first and second formed areas about the plurality of rail members sufficient to resist movement of the plurality of rail members both linearly and rotationally.
