Abstract
A building frame connector for connecting beams to columns to create a building frame. The building frame connector includes a pin member and plurality of fins mounted on said pin member for rotation relative to said pin. The pin may be in alignment with the column, and the fins allow connection of the beams to the columns. The fins may be disposed to rotate relative to said pin member about a longitudinal axis of the pin. In one embodiment the pin member may have an outer diameter and the fins have a collar with an inner diameter is greater than said outer diameter of said pin allowing for the collars to rotate about the pin member. The present building frame connector may also include at least one coupling member coupled to the pin member, wherein the coupling member facilitates the connection of the building frame connector to a building column.
