ABSTRACT:
A connector structure comprising a first connector element for securement to the end of a post-like structure, and a second connector element for securement to a further structure. One of the connector elements has a flange with a groove about an inner connecting side wall thereof. The other connector has a projection portion with a groove about an outer connecting side wall thereof. The projection portion is dimensioned for close fit within an inner recess area formed within the area defined by the flange. With the projection portion positioned within the said area, the grooves are juxtaposed to define an endless locking channel. At least one access passage extends through the flange to join the locking channel tangentially to permit passage and insertion of a locking rod at least in a substantial portion of the locking channel. The rod has a cross-section for close fit into the locking channel whereby it can be fitted in the channel through the access passage to lock the connectors from separation. The locking rod provides load transfer, resulting from a load applied axially of the structures, between opposed faces thereof in the axial direction.
