ABSTRACT:
A method is provided for forming a rigid joint between two tubular frame members positioned end to end but not necessarily in abutment, each said member having a tubular wall defined by an outer surface and an inner surface defining an interior passageway, each member being congruent with the other said member in the region of the ends to be joined, each said member having a substantially square cross section with at least one pair of diagonally opposing corners. The method comprises the step of securing one of said members to the other by passing at least a pair of elongated fastening means, one through each member, diagonally through the wall of each member at diagonally opposing corners of said member adjacent the ends to be joined. Said pair of fastening means also passes through and engages a rigid coupling disposed about the outside surface of said tubular wall in the region of said opposing corners and extends on either side of the joint for rigidly holding said members to each other in proper end to end alignment.
