Connector for pipe frame

Abstract

A connector for a pipe frame includes a first cover and a second cover. The first and second covers have first and second longitudinal grooves and first and second transverse grooves. Further, on both sides of the first and second longitudinal grooves, one end of the first and second transverse grooves, between the first longitudinal and transverse grooves and between the second longitudinal and transverse grooves, are respectively provided with fixing holes and connecting holes. Further, fixing elements are provided in the fixing holes and the connecting holes corresponding to the first cover and the second cover, respectively. With the above structure, the desired pipe bodies can be disposed in the first and second longitudinal grooves and the first and second transverse grooves. Further, with the fixing elements being locked in the fixing holes and the connecting holes, it is easy to achieve the assembling and disassembling operations.

1 . A connector for a pipe frame, comprising:
 a first cover having a first longitudinal groove on one surface thereof, an end adjacent to the first longitudinal groove having a first transverse groove, fixing holes provided on both sides of the first longitudinal groove, on end of the first transverse groove and between the first longitudinal groove and the first transverse groove;   a second cover connected with the first cover, one surface of the second cover having a second longitudinal groove and a second transverse groove corresponding to the first longitudinal groove and the first transverse groove, the second cover provided with connecting hole thereon to correspond to the fixing holes of the first cover; and   fixing elements provided respectively in the fixing holes and connecting holes of the first and second covers, thereby to the connect the first and second covers with each other.   
   
   
       2 . The connector for a pipe frame according to  claim 1 , wherein the other surface of the first and second covers have alternatively arranged reinforcing ribs. 
   
   
       3 . The connector for a pipe frame according to  claim 1 , wherein the first and second longitudinal grooves are provided with restricting portions thereon. 
   
   
       4 . The connector for a pipe frame according to  claim 1 , wherein the first and second transverse grooves are also provided with restricting portions thereon. 
   
   
       5 . The connector for a pipe frame according to  claim 3  or  4 , wherein the restriction portions are grooves each formed into a polygon or circle. 
   
   
       6 . The connector for a pipe frame according to  claim 3  or  4 , wherein the restriction portions are bumps each formed into a polygon or circle.
