ABSTRACT:
A structural joint for joining two elements comprises a malleable deformable flange on the first element and an elongate arcuate recess in the second element. The recess is adapted to receive the flange and allow the flange to be deformed therein into at least a portion of a coil where the entrance to the recess is less than the size of the formed coil. The recess is characterized in having a leg, the extremity of which defines one side of the recesses' entrance. The flange has next to it a tongue portion where a gap defined between the flange and tongue portion is of a size adapted to receive the leg of the recess in a manner to provide an interference fit between the tongue portion and the leg. The leg of the recess has an overturned part which overlies a portion of the coiled flange and has an abutment which abuts a side of the tongue portion. A method for making such structural joint is disclosed.
