ABSTRACT:
The fastening device is for securely joining opposing surfaces of two structural members. The fastening device provides for a flush joining of opposing surfaces of two structural members to maximize strength and appearance characteristics. The fastening device is comprised of an elongated, rigid member having a head portion at one end, and means to adjustably secure it to a structural member at its opposite end. A rigid plate member, for securement in a position aligned with a recessed or apertured portion of a second structural member, is provided to communicate with the elongated, rigid member. The rigid plate member has an aperture of a predetermined configuration consisting of an enlarged apertured portion and an elongated apertured portion having a lesser width, which communicates with the enlarged apertured portion. The rigid plate member has a thickness which varies in an inclined, sloping manner, increasingly from the widest portion of its aperture and directionally along the elongated portion of the aperture. With the elongated, rigid member secured to a structural member, and the plate member secured in a recessed position to a second structural member, the head portion of the elongated rigid member is extended, and slid through, the aperture of the plate member, to provide for the secure, flush joining of the opposing surfaces of the two structural members.
