ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a connector for a tubular truss assembly which is formed of tubes loosely fit between selected adjacent ones of the connectors. The tubes are held in place either by set screws in connector receptacles into which the tubes are mounted or by tensioning elements connected between connectors for urging the connectors together. The manner of coupling and securement provides for very rapid assembly, minimization of stress concentrations and turning connector assemblies to form nonplanar structures.
