Claim 1

A SWEDGED JOINT STRUCTURE BETWEEN A MEMBER HAVING AN OFFSET CONNECTING FLANGE EXHIBITING RESILIENT PLASTIC PERMANENENTLY DEFORMABLE PROPERTIES AND A RIGID SUBSTANTIALLY NON-DEFORMABLE SUPPORTING MEMBER THEREFOR, SAID CONNECTING FLANGE BEING INITIALLY TRANSVERSELY CONFIGURATED TO PROVIDE A SUBSTANTIALLY CENTRALLY RAISED PORTION TERMINATING IN LATERALLY OPPOSITELY DISPOSED SUBTENDING MARGINAL EDGES CONTIGUOUS THEREWITH, SAID RIGID SUPPORTING MEMBER HAVING A CHANNEL-SHAPED RECESS IN A FACE THEREOF DEFINED BY OPPOSITE LATERAL SIDE WALLS DIVERGING TOWARDS AN INNER BOTTOM WEB SURFACE CONTIGUOUS WITH SAID DIVERGING SIDE WALLS AND UNINTERFERINGLY RECEIVING SAID INITIALLY CONFIGURATED CONNECTING FLANGE THROUGH THE FACIAL ENTRANCE THERETO, SAID BOTTOM WEB SURFACE OF THE RECESS BEING DEPRESSED BELOW THE PLANE OF THE MAXIMUM TRANSVERSE WIDTH DIMENSION BETWEEN THE DIVERGING SIDE WALLS OF THE RECESS, SAID TRANSVERSE CONTIGUOUS WIDTH OF THE INITIALLY CONFIGURATED OFFSET CONNECTING FLANGE BETWEEN THE SUBTENDING MARGINAL EDGES THEREOF BEING 3 TO 10 PERCENT IN EXCESS OF THE MAXIMUM TRANSVERSE WIDTH DIMENSION BETWEEN THE DIVERGING SIDE WALLS OF THE RECESS, SAID INITIALLY CONFIGURATED OFFSET CONNECTING FLANGE ON PERMANENT DEFORMATION AND TRANSFORMATION WITHIN SAID RECESS PROVIDING TIGHT INTERLOCKING LATERAL FRICTIONAL ENGAGEMENT OF THE OPPOSITE SUBTENDING MARGINAL EDGES THEREOF AGAINST THE DIVERGING SIDE WALLS OF THE RECESS IN INTERNALLY STRESSED TRANSVERSE COLUMNAR LOADED CONDITION OF THE PERMANENTLY DEFORMED AND TRANFORMER CONNECTING FLANGE WITHIN SAID RECESS, SAID SO PERMANENTLY DEFORMED AND TRANSFORMED COLUMNAR LOADED CONDITION OF THE CONNECTING FLANGE BEING LOCATED WITHIN A TRANSVERSE RECTANGULAR BAND SUBSTANTIALLY BISECTED BY THE MAXIMUM WIDTH DIMENSION OF THE RECESS IN PARALLEL DISPOSITION TO THE TRANSVERSE LONG SIDES OF THE RECTANGULAR BAND, AND SAID SO DEFORMED AND TRANSFORMED OFFSET CONNECTING FLANGE HAVING AN UNDERSIDE AREA FACING AND SPACED FROM THE DEPRESSED INNER BOTTOM WEB SURFACE OF THE RECESS.
