Abstract (en)

[origin: GB2234286A] A coupling for connection of a number of panels and/or beams has first base parts (10) secured to adjacent ends of the panel and/or beam to be linked and a second pivot coupling part (20) which is adapted to link the base parts (10) thereby linking the panels and/or beams. In a first embodiment the base parts (10) have a central locating bore (15) with angularly spaced locking bores (16) around the periphery thereof and the coupling part (20) has a number of locating members (24) which engage the locating bores (15) of the respective panels and/or beams and angularly spaced locking members (27) around each locating member (24) which engage the locking bores (16) of each base part (10) allowing the panels and/or beams to be erected in different relative angular dispositions. In an alternative embodiment, and particularly when linking beams, a base part (70) can have the locating (72) and locking members (73) thereon and the coupling part (80) can have the locating (83) and locking bores (87) therein. In this case the coupling part (80) can be cubical having locating (83) and locking bores (87) in each of the six faces thereof.
