ABSTRACT:
A connector device for interconnecting frame-work profiles provided with internal hollow channels and at least one T-shaped longitudinal slot in end-to-end and end-to-sideface relations includes a generally parallelepiped shaped connector having a through bore which receives one element in the form of a screw that is adapted to be firmly attached to a first framework profile in end-to-end relation thereto and a second element in the form of a T-connector member for effecting connection with a second framework profile. The T-connector member has a thin element that is adapted to pass through the T-shaped longitudinal slot of the second framework profile in a first position of the T-connector member, and to be broader than the slot in a second position of the T-connector member so that the T-connector member is trapped in a cavity in the interior of the second framework profile behind the slot. The T-connector member is provided with a tapering bore that is engaged by a set screw which threadably engages a bore in the parallelepiped shaped connector for moving the T-connector member from the first position to the second position.
