Abstract
An improved structure is provided for connecting an end of an elongate member to an end plate. The end plate is provided with an aperture for receiving a fastener having a threaded shank adapted for extending through the aperture and having a head for engaging the end plate. The structure includes at least a first slot in the elongate member. A retaining member is provided for being positioned in the elongate member slot. The retaining member has two oppositely extending end portions for each projecting laterally beyond the elongate member and engaging the elongate member. The retaining member defines a threaded bore for threadingly receiving the threaded shank of the fastener.
