ABSTRACT:
A mechanical end joint system, useful for the transverse connection of strut elements to a common node, comprises a node joint half 15 with semicircular tongue 14 and groove 60 and a strut joint half 24 with semicircular tongue 25 and groove 21. The two joint halves are engaged transversely and the connection is made secure by the inherent physical property characteristics of locking latches 12 and 26 (FIGS. 1-6) or by a spring-actioned shaft 70 (FIG. 7). A quick release mechanism (FIG. 7) provides rapid disengagement of the joint halves.
