ABSTRACT:
A connector comprising at least one pair of apertures for receiving a fastener, such as a screw, a load bearing filament extending continuously along a predefined circuitous path which extends between and around each of the apertures of said pair of apertures. The load bearing filament extends around each aperture to define multiple aperture forming strands of said load bearing filaments. The multiple aperture forming strands of the load bearing filament are bound together around each aperture by binding filaments in order to constrain relative lateral movement between the aperture forming multiple strands and to define the shape of each aperture.
