ABSTRACT:
The invention discloses a two piece connector for the rapid assembly of modular playground equipment, each connector half having a flange at one end for attaching to various components and a jaw at the other end having a tongue cooperative with grooves on a vertical support column for attaching the connector to the support column. A connection is made by placing the tongue of each connector half in an opposing or facing pair of grooves in the desired location on the support column, pulling the flanges together, locking the two connector halves in position on the support column, and then locking the two connector halves together when attachment to a component is made.
