ABSTRACT:
A connector assembly for joining two structural members arranged in longitudinal direction sequentially or side-by-side, includes at least one structural member which has a hollow space enclosed all-round by an outer wall and which has a receptacle adjoining the outer wall for receiving a rim of a flat object. At least one single-piece connector is lockingly fitted in the structural members through deformation of the structural members for securely joining the latter. Suitably, the structural elements have opposing receptacles when arranged parallel side-by-side for receiving a connector in form of a massive, preferably parallelepiped metal block. Each receptacle is of U-shaped configuration, with opposing longitudinal sides and a base extending between the longitudinal sides, with the base and one longitudinal side being formed by a wall section and with the other longitudinal side being formed by a cantilevered shank connected to the base.
