ABSTRACT:
A structural assembly comprising a preformed connecting member and a tubular member to be integrally connected in surrounding relationship by said connecting member without requiring separate fastening means for effecting such connection. The structural assembly is particularly well adapted to be joined with similar structural assemblies into an elongated solar energy absorber panel structure. The connecting member and the tubular member are held in virtually inseparable engagement with each other with the connecting member surrounding and generally conforming to the outer peripheral shape of the tubular member by deformable sections of the connecting member which define interengageable locking means comprising strut lock shoulder and tooth sections. Deformation of the shoulder and tooth locking means into progressive contact ensures inseparable connection of the connecting member with the tubular member.
