ABSTRACT:
A self-aligning connecting system for connecting structural sections (10), the system having at least one pair of connector halves (20), each pair (20) comprising a male half (30) attached at one end of a truss section (10b) and a female half (70) attached at an opposing end of an adjoining truss section (10a). Male half (30) comprises a floating peg (42) within slot (39) which engages a bore (79) located on female half (70). Opposing ends of two truss sections (10a & 10b) are then joined together by inserting the peg (42) of each male half (30) into the corresponding bore (79) of each female half (70). Lock pin (97) then engages each peg (42) in chamber (50) to connect the truss sections. Truss sections (10a & 10b) are thereafter quickly and easily disassembled and reassembled by simply removing and replacing each lock pin (97).
