ABSTRACT:
A T-shaped structural joint includes a tubular member connected endwise to a plate member by a screw and a connector press-fitted in a hollow open end of the tubular member, the connector having on its periphery a knurled surface which is held in tight frictional engagement with the interior surface of the open end. The connector has a radially extending slot that allows the connector to contract when forcibly inserted into the tubular member, the connector having a tendency to expand or spring back under its own resiliency upon insertion such that the connector forcibly acts against the interior surface of the tubular member. The connector includes a notched and tapered sleeve that facilitates initial insertion of the connector.
