ABSTRACT:
One of two elongate tubular frame members to be removably connected is telescoped over, and frictionally and also latchably removably secured to the intervening connector structure. The connector structure comprises a conventional rigid body component of inverted U-shaped configuration including apertured horizontal wall and two vertical flanking-walls, for respective broad frictional engagements with the apertured top-panel and the two vertical panels of the surrounding tubular frame member. Departing from the prior art, the connector structure herein comprises a J-shaped spring means, the longerleg extending along the inner surface of the connector apertured horizontal wall and being provided with an upwardly extending locking projection surrounded by said wall aperture, and the shorterleg extending below the bottom-plane of the body flanking-walls. Thus, as the tubular frame member is telescoped over the novel frame connector structure, the frame bottom-panel forces the spring member shorterleg above the body component bottom-plane thereby increasing the broad frictional contact between the apertured connector wall and the frame top-panel, and also assisting in maintaining the longerleg locking projection securely latched within the frame top-panel aperture.
