  • Publication number: 20130034379
    Abstract: A mechanical means of connecting natural bamboo or any natural tree pole at the terminal end to side of another natural bamboo or natural tree pole overcoming the inherent problems of the irregular characteristics of the poles in a simple and efficient way. The connector assembly is easily fitted to the poles with small tools and simple construction trade skills. Once fitted with temporary fasteners said connector assembly elements are joined at any angle as in a construction frame by one bolt. The next and most important innovation; a final adjustment opportunity is available to the builder. At this step adjoining elements are locked into a precise mating surface attachment before final securing is performed. This adjustment is an essential function as a means of compensating for the irregularities of natural poles to insure optimal positioning of adjoining poles by means of in place rotation of said connector elements.
