  • Patent number: 4360286
    Abstract: The connector is intended for beams having longitudinal, undercut grooves, the coupling elements engaging in these grooves. It consists of coupling elements that can swing freely in the transverse plane of the groove; these coupling elements have hook heads, the head thickness of which, taken in total, is less than the width of the entry of the groove. They are pressed into contact with the two opposing walls of the constricted entry of the groove by an adjuster; the adjuster is installed in one coupling element in such a manner as to be adjustable by external action. The pressure exerted by the adjuster can be transmitted to the other coupling element through a spring. Equalized contact pressure on the walls of the groove is achieved by the coupling elements.
