Abstract
Abstract A hollow structural member comprising at least two connected wrought metal components, each component having a specially formed edge configuration and a plain formed remaining portion. The hollow structural member is formed by connecting the plain formed remaining portion of a first component with the specially formed edge configuration of a second component and connecting the plain formed portion of the second component with the specially formed edge configuration of the first component or a third component, etc., these connections being inward from the outer extremities of the special formed edge configurations and being along a recess in an enlarged mass portion of the special formed edge configuration.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
113 words
A hollow structural member comprising three connected wrought metal components, each of said components having a specially formed edge configuration including an enlarged mass portion and a recess therein inwardly located from the extreme end thereof and a relatively thin remaining portion so formed that the relatively thin remaining portion of each component mates with and is connected in a direct and continuous manner to the recess of the enlarged mass portion of the specially formed edge configuration of another component, two of said components having opposing 90* bends, said three components being joined to form a hollow T-shaped structural member, and each adjacent connection being on different faces of the structural member.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
113 words
A hollow structural member comprising three connected wrought metal components, each of said components having a specially formed edge configuration including an enlarged mass portion and a recess therein inwardly located from the extreme end thereof and a relatively thin remaining portion so formed that the relatively thin remaining portion of each component mates with and is connected in a direct and continuous manner to the recess of the enlarged mass portion of the specially formed edge configuration of another component, two of said components having opposing 90* bends, said three components being joined to form a hollow T-shaped structural member, and each adjacent connection being on different faces of the structural member.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
111 words
A hollow structural member comprising two connected wrought metal components, each component having two 90* bends in the same direction, a specially formed edge configuration including an enlarged mass portion with a recess therein inwardly located from the extreme end thereof and a relatively thin remaining portion so formed that the relatively thin remaining portion of each component mates with and is connected in a direct and continuous manner to the recess of the enlarged mass portion of the specially formed edge configuration of the other component, the two components being joined to form a U-shaped hollow structural member, and each adjacent connection being on different faces of the structural member.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
111 words
A hollow structural member comprising two connected wrought metal components, each component having two 90* bends in the same direction, a specially formed edge configuration including an enlarged mass portion with a recess therein inwardly located from the extreme end thereof and a relatively thin remaining portion so formed that the relatively thin remaining portion of each component mates with and is connected in a direct and continuous manner to the recess of the enlarged mass portion of the specially formed edge configuration of the other component, the two components being joined to form a U-shaped hollow structural member, and each adjacent connection being on different faces of the structural member.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
141 words
A hollow structural member comprising four connected wrought metal components, two of said components each having 90* bends in the same direction, said two components positioned so that said 90* bends are oppositely directed, the remaining two components being straight and connecting to the bent components, each of said components having a specially formed edge configuration including an enlarged mass portion and a recess therein inwardly located from the extreme end thereof and a relatively thin remaining portion so formed that the relatively thin remaining portion of each component mates with and is connected in a direct and continuous manner to the recess of the enlarged mass portion of the specially formed edge configuration of another component, the four components being joined to form an I-shaped hollow structural member, and each adjacent connection being on different faces of the structural member.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
141 words
A hollow structural member comprising four connected wrought metal components, two of said components each having 90* bends in the same direction, said two components positioned so that said 90* bends are oppositely directed, the remaining two components being straight and connecting to the bent components, each of said components having a specially formed edge configuration including an enlarged mass portion and a recess therein inwardly located from the extreme end thereof and a relatively thin remaining portion so formed that the relatively thin remaining portion of each component mates with and is connected in a direct and continuous manner to the recess of the enlarged mass portion of the specially formed edge configuration of another component, the four components being joined to form an I-shaped hollow structural member, and each adjacent connection being on different faces of the structural member.
