ABSTRACT:
A releasable coupling assembly is provided for rib members or other members having a flat stock or bar-like configuration. The releasable coupling is provided for members which are at least partially overlapping one another, with the opposing mating surfaces of the members preferably being planar. One member carries a retaining clip defining a pocket for receiving the other rib member. Various embodiments are provided in which moveable or stationary pins extend into the pocket to engage the cooperating rib member to engage the rib member to prevent dislodgement from the overlapping condition.
