Abstract
A connector for a modular safety rail comprises a unitary combination of a body portion and two socket formations. The body portion comprises first and second flange formations which each define a substantially planar support surface, the support surfaces lying substantially perpendicular relative to one another in an 'L' shape configuration as viewed along the line of intersection of the support surfaces. The support surfaces facing outwardly, and opposite inwardly facing surfaces of the flange formations each have integral therewith a respective one of the socket formations. Each socket formation has an outer end for receiving a tube or rod and an inner end region which is integral with the inner end region of the other socket formation of the pair, the longitudinal axis of each socket formation extending substantially perpendicular to the line of intersection of the support surfaces.
