Abstract
A corner jack connector having integral prongs is provided. The corner jack connector is formed of a substantially planar piece of rigid material, preferably steel, and is configured so as to allow joining of wooden work pieces at various angles to one another as will be readily understood by those skilled in the art. The corner jack connector includes a central portion and first and second extensions disposed in spaced relation from each other and integral with the central portion. The skewable corner jack connector includes a plurality of integral prongs for securing the corner jack connector to the work pieces. In order to facilitate skewing of the corner jack connector, a plurality of hole members, which are preferably elliptical, are disposed along fold regions at the junction between the central portion and each of the extensions. In the preferred embodiment, the extensions are disposed at a right angle to each other.
