Abstract
Tubular frame structures such as for furniture, cabinets, display stands or the like comprise square tubular metal elements held together by a series of right angle connector structures. The improved connector comprises a channel having one end fixedly attached to a first frame element. A second frame element telescopes over the channel. A jack screw, accessible through a hole in the second frame element, engages a bowed toggle spring to force the sides of the channel apart. Engagement is established at two corners at the ends of one side of the frame while the reaction is sustained by the base of the channel.
