Abstract
Abstract A joint between structural members such as edge members of panelled furniture, the joint being secured by a bracket having leaves which each abut and are secured to one of the structural members. The leaves each have an axis and the axes intersect to define a plane, the faces of the leaves abutting the structural members being obliquely inclined to that plane.

The combination of a plurality of elongated members and a bracket connecting the members so that they lie at inclined positions, the bracket having a plurality of mutually inclined leaves which are stopped short of the point of intersection and a bridge which spans the included angle between them, the leaves having openings therein and the leaves and the bridge lying in a space bounded by the outer surfaces of the leaves, each member comprising a front part and reentrant means behind the front part, the reentrant means having an outwardly directed surface against which a leaf lies, a space located below the surface and a passage passing from the space to the surface, the combination further comprising, for each leaf, clamping means passing through the leaf openings and the passage in the associated member and having head means located respectively within the space and above the leaf.
