Abstract
Abstract The present invention provides connectors for forming a joint in the recessed abutting ends of adjacent members, such as wood turnings, in the stand of an electric lamp stand, the end portions of the connector being releasably fixedly accommodated in the recesses and both the members and the connectors including a bore to provide for passage of electric flex to a socket to provide power for lighting the bulb of a lamp formed from said stand. The recesses are preferably internally threaded and the connector is preferably externally threaded to provide for the releaseable fixed accommodation of the connector in the recesses.
