A pair of steel counterpart pieces, of steel, each being integral, and including a backing element, a side blade element, and a hook element. The side elements are on opposite side edges respectively of the backing elements. The pieces are mounted on frame members to be connected that have flat surfaces that interengage. Upon camming action between the pieces of the connector the frame members are brought toward each other with their flat surfaces interengaging.

[ I claim:] [1.] A connector for detachably interconnecting frame members having flat surfaces adapted to be disposed vertically and which interengage when the frame members are interconnected,the connector including two pieces adapted to be mounted on the frame members respectively, and when so mounted are in positions set out hereinbelow.each of said two pieces comprising a bracket and a hanger, separate from the frame members and adapted to be mounted thereon,the pieces having longitudinal directions adapted to be disposed vertically in the direction of said flat surfaces,the pieces having camming elements extending generally in said longitudinal direction but inclined relative thereto and toward each other and being mutually parallel, and also inclined in a plane perpendicular to said flat surfaces,the pieces being adapted to be interengageable in response to movement of one frame member downwardly relative to the other frame member, and adapted to be operable for moving said frame members relatively toward each other in direction perpendicular to said flat surfaces, and thereby moving the flat surfaces into interengagement, and said interengagement thereby adapted to limit movement of the frame members toward each other and also adapted to limit downward movement of said one frame member,each connector piece being a single piece including a backing element and the respective camming element extending generally transverse to the backing element,the backing element is a flat piece,the camming element includes a flat blade extending from one edge of the backing element perpendicularly from the backing element, andthe flat blade has a hook at the extended edge thereof.
