  • Patent number: 11118617
    Abstract: An assembly includes an elongated channel member, a clip and a leg. The clip includes a hook proximate the first end of the clip, a fastener proximate the second end of the clip, and a pivot protrusion disposed between the first and second ends of the clip. The clip is attached to the first end of the elongated channel member. The leg is oriented at a first angle to the elongated channel member and adjacent the first end of the elongated channel member. The leg includes an opening. The hook of the clip is configured for insertion into the opening of the leg. Using the fastener to move the second end of the clip toward a surface of the elongated channel member causes the hook of the clip to rotate about the pivot protrusion, thereby engaging a surface of the leg. A method is described for assembling a structure.
