ABSTRACT:
A connector for connecting structural members such as panels, rods and tubes, to form a three-dimensional structure, comprises a connector body with a pair of axial slots at opposite ends thereof shaped to receive and retain tongues on the ends of the structural members and at least one annular channel extending around the connector body to receive similar tongues of further structural members extending in directions transverse to those in the axial slots. The axial slots and the channel have constrictions adjacent the outer surface of the connector body to retain tongues having widened free ends which are elongate in end view.
