ABSTRACT:
A rectangular channel member has coplanar spaced-apart wall portions defining a slot therebetween and each having a flange extending from the slot inwardly of the channel member and away from the other wall portion at an acute angle. A generally U-shaped connector is disposable within the channel member across the slot and includes rectangular recesses receiving the flanges therein. A threaded fastener engageable with the connector extends through the slot for engagement with a support member, tightening of the fastener causing deformation of the flanges by the connector for wedging the flanges in the connector recesses. The support member may constitute a bracket for coupling the channel member to another channel member, several different bracket constructions being disclosed for coupling to different types of channel members and for different orientations of the channel members.
