ABSTRACT:
Elongated width, depth and vertical posts of a structural metal frame are joined in mutually perpendicular relationship at the frame corners by a gusset sub-assembly consisting of a right angle brace reinforced by a gusset plate. The posts are each of C-shaped cross-section to provide a coextensive slot flanked by flanges having preformed therein corresponding hole patterns utilized by self-tapping screws to secure the gusset sub-assembly thereto. Integral fingers bent back from the terminations of the brace penetrate the slots to resiliently engage the width and depth posts and impart tension to the corner assembly joint.
