ABSTRACT:
A connector comprises first and second opposed, spaced apart locking lugs having first and second opposed, spaced apart faces between which the channel member is clamped. A flexible connection integral with the opposed faces of the locking lugs joins the locking lugs together in a unitary structure in a manner which allows for the space between the opposed faces of the locking lugs to be varied. The first and second locking lugs are provided with axially aligned bores which, when securing the connector to the channel member, receive a fastener for drawing the opposed faces of the locking lugs toward one another when the fastener is advanced into the axially aligned bores for clamping the channel member in between the opposed locking lugs of the connector. The first locking lug comprises the improvement comprising said first locking lug comprises a substantially rectangular corrugated body having a plurality of corrugations each having a top surface and a bottom surface, said corrugated body having terminal ends wherein the terminal ends extend toward the second locking lug a distance d below a plane formed by the bottom surfaces of the corrugations.
