Definitions

  • the present invention concerns an angle joint to connect several converging linear elements, for example tubular elements or sections destined to form three-dimensional structures such as frameworks for kiosks or other constructions composed of elements extending out in several directions.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide an angle joint configured in the form of two complementary caps which can be made from any material and which can be superimposed and locked with a central screw to lock at the same time all the elements to be connected, which may be three, four, or even more.
  • an angle joint comprising an external cap and a complementary internal cap, shaped so as to define together, once coupled, housings for the contiguous ends of several elements to be connected and to be locked in situ by a single central screw.
  • the angle joint 10 according to the invention comprises an external cap 11, an internal cap 12 and a locking screw 13.
  • the internal cap 11 and external cap 12 have complementary configurations with similar concavities/convexities to be superimposed to one another.
  • the shape of the external cap 11 comprises half-seats 11' open inwards; the internal cap 12 comprises half-seats 12' open outwards.
  • their half-seats 11', 12' are one in front of the other thus complementarily defining housings. These housings are spaced angularly and are destined to receive the contiguous ends of several linear elements 14, such as tubes or sections, extending in several directions starting out from the joint itself.
  • the joint is suitable to receive and connect four differently oriented elements 14 simultaneously, but the elements could also be of a different number.
  • the contiguous ends of said elements are inserted in the housings defined by the two coupled caps 11, 12 and are tightly enclosed therein and locked for secure connection thereof by locking the two caps together by means of the central screw 13.
