Abstract
A tube connector assembly is disclosed which comprises a post and flexible reed-like elements secured to the sides of the post. The reeds are selectively and adjustably spaced laterally from the post, as by set screws, to vary the effective diameter of the connector unit. Thereby the connector is adjusted to effect a telescopic slidable force fit in a tube or tubes for adjustable attachment of supports to portable partition panels, attachment of extension tubes, splicing panels together, and the like.
