ABSTRACT:
A connection arrangement for securing first and second members together includes a connector member that engages both the first and second members, and a fastener which interacts with the connector member to simultaneously fix the position of the first member relative to the connector member and to provide frictional engagement of the second member with the connector member. The connector member includes a head portion received within a recess in the first member, and a slidable engagement arrangement for providing slidable engagement of the connector member with the second member. The connector member includes a channel within which an expandable engagement wall of the second member is received. The expandable engagement wall defines a passage, and the fastener extends through aligned openings in the first member and the head portion of the connector member, into the passage defined by the expandable engagement wall of the second member. The fastener functions to move the expandable engagement wall outwardly into engagement with the channel of the connector member as the fastener is advanced into the passage, to establish frictional engagement between the connector member and the second member.
