ABSTRACT:
A box-like coupler for coupling a first car body part to another which includes a box-like device having a closed perimeter of a plurality of sides and two open ends. The box-like coupler may have a center rib between the two open ends which extends to all of the sides of the plurality of sides. Another embodiment is a winged coupler for coupling a first car body part to another which includes a device having a first wing and a second wing connected to the first wing. Each wing of the device has at least one distal width which is greater than a proximal width of the same wing. The winged coupler may have a middle between the first and second wings, an upper surface, a lower surface, two sides connecting the upper and lower surfaces, two ends connecting the upper and lower surfaces, one end being an end of the first wing and the other end being the end of the second wing, a pin extending outwardly from the upper surface at the middle of the device, a pin extending outwardly from the lower surface at the middle of the device, and a recess in the upper surface of each wing. In addition, at least one of the two sides of the device may be V-shaped so that the upper surface at the middle of the device is narrower than the upper surface at the ends of the device.
