MITER JOINT CONNECTORS FOR FRAME ASSEMBLY AND METHOD OF CONNECTING MITERED FRAME MEMBERS
A connector is adapted for securing into a fixed position two frame members that are positioned to define a common miter joint and aligned slots to collectively define a single correspondingly-shaped connector opening. The connector includes a peripheral configuration corresponding to a peripheral configuration of the correspondingly-shaped opening. The connector may have a peripheral surface having on predetermined portions thereof a plurality of stepwise ridges adapted to contact with reduced friction only spaced-apart areas of sidewalls of the correspondingly-shaped opening. The connector may have at least one void in the connector to permit deformation sufficient to accommodate variations between the shape of the connector and the shape of the correspondingly-shaped opening. A method of using the connector is also disclosed.
