摘要： A universal connector for interconnecting a pair of elongated elements in adjustable angular relation includes a pair of cooperative clamping members adapted to be clamped in place on one of said elongated elements and a third member adapted to be secured to the other of said pair of elongated elements. Each of said clamping members includes a clamping portion intermediate the ends adapted to clampingly engage a surface on one side of one elongated element and has first and second opposite end portions extending outwardly thereof. The first end portions of the clamping members are pivotally and releasably interconnected for permitting opposed intermediate clamping portions to move toward and away from each other between a clamping position and an open position. The clamping members also include a pivot for supporting the third member of connector to permit angular adjustment between the pair of elongated elements when the connector members are clamped and secured in place. A threaded fastener is provided for interconnecting the second end portions of the opposing clamping members to move the clamping portions thereof into clamping engagement against the elongated element to secure the universal connector in place for angularly interconnecting the pair of elongated elements.

摘要翻译： 用于以可调节角度关系互连一对细长元件的通用连接器包括一对协作夹紧构件，其适于被夹紧在所述细长元件之一上的适当位置，以及适于固定到所述一对细长元件中的另一个的第三构件 。 每个所述夹紧构件包括夹紧部分中间的夹紧部分，其适于夹紧地接合一个细长元件的一侧上的表面，并且具有向外延伸的第一和第二相对端部。 夹紧构件的第一端部可枢转地和可释放地互连，用于允许相对的中间夹紧部分在夹紧位置和打开位置之间彼此移动和远离。 夹紧构件还包括用于支撑连接器的第三构件的枢轴，以允许当连接器构件被夹紧并固定就位时在一对细长元件之间进行角度调节。 提供了螺纹紧固件，用于互连相对的夹紧构件的第二端部，以将其夹紧部分移动成与细长元件夹紧接合，以将通用连接器固定在适当位置，以使所述一对细长元件成角度地互连。
