ABSTRACT:
A node coupler for interlocking truss beams of a self-standing structure. The coupler includes at least one pair of diverging elongated arms. Each arm has a cylindrical inner end portion and a thin outer end portion, engaged into the cylindrical hollow of a given truss beam. A slit is made in the arm outer end portion, to release a spring-loaded U-shape clip. The U-clip has a transverse finger to engage a bore in the wall of the truss beam, under the bias of the clip spring load.
