  • Patent number: 11976685
    Abstract: A connector for attachment of two frame elements in a framing system has a connector body of similar rectangular section to the frame elements. A flat inner engagement face of the connector body engages with a flat end face of a first frame element, and essentially forms an extension of the first frame element. An outer engagement face of the connector body is substantially parallel to the inner engagement face and in use abuts against a flat side wall of a second frame element. The outer engagement face has two outwardly projecting lips along opposite side edges of the connector body at the outer face. Each lip has a curved inner face for engagement with opposed radiused edges at opposite sides of the flat side wall face of the second frame element. A flat outer face of the lip forms an extension of a side wall of the connector body and provides a smooth transition between adjacent side walls of the two frame elements.
