Abstract

An assembly comprising a first structural member having a recess along a longitudinal centerline thereof, the recess having a planar contact surface disposed in spaced relation from the centerline and at least a contact point diametrically opposed to the planar contact surface and a second structural member having a projecting portion along a longitudinal centerline thereof, insertable in the recess to align the members along this longitudinal centerline, the projecting portion having a planar contact surface engageable with the planar contact surface of the first structural member and a contact point engageable with the contact point of the first structural member when the projecting member is received within the recess whereby upon insertion of the projection portions into the recess the members will be prevented from displacing angularly relative to each other abut the aligned centerlines.
