  • CONNECTOR AND SYSTEM FOR MECHANICALLY JOINING ABUTTING CONSTRUCTION ELEMENTS
    Publication number: 20140305064
    Abstract: A connector for mechanically joining abutting construction elements each having a groove therein, comprising a support, at least one split tongue extending from the support, the split tongue including flexible sub-tongues having angled catches for engaging steps located in the groove. During insertion the sub-tongues are flexed toward each other and remain in a partially restored configuration. This, combined with the angled catches, reduces the space between the abutting construction elements.
