Abstract
An adjustable type connector menas for a wrought iron railing section having top and bottom rail elements of inverted, generally U-shaped cross-sectional construction includes a pair of plate-like members adapted to be assembled to an end of one of the rail elements in opposed, paralleling relation with one another, with a first of the members disposed within the rail element above and in seated relation with a pair of opposed, inwardly extending right-angle abutment means formed integrally in the sides of the rail element and with the second of the members disposed along the underside of the rail element in engaged, bridging relation with the extremities of the sides of said rail element. The plate members are adapted to be operatively coupled with one another to retain the rail element in compression therebetween through means of a mounting bolt fitting through an aperture in the second of the members to within a suitably tapped aperture in the first of the members. The first of the members has an apertured extension projecting angularly from the end of the rail element to present a separate attachment or mounting surface for a fixed support for the railing section.
