Connecting metal

Abstract

A connecting metal (1) includes a tenon pipe (13) having through-holes (132) for fixing the tenon pipe (13) by drift pins or bolts, and a plate (12) joined at an end of the tenon pipe (13) and having through-holes (122) for fixing the plate (12) by drift pins or bolts, the tenon pipe (13) and the plate (12) being joined with each other in a substantially racket-like shape. A pair of slits (131) for receiving the plate is formed at the end of the tenon pipe (13), each of the slits (131) being defined by a first side edge and a second side edge that are bent inwardly. The plate (12) is inserted in the pair of slits (131) and joined with the tenon pipe (13) by welding, with no protrusion of weld reinforcement out of an outer periphery of the tenon pipe (13).

1 . A connecting metal comprising a tenon pipe having at least one through-hole for fixing the tenon pipe by a drift pin or a bolt, and a plate joined at an end of the tenon pipe and having at least one through-hole for fixing the plate by a drift pin or a bolt, the tenon pipe and the plate being joined with each other in a substantially racket-like shape, wherein
 a pair of slits for receiving the plate is formed at the end of the tenon pipe, each of the slits being defined by a first side edge and a second side edge that are bent inwardly, and   the plate is inserted in the pair of slits and joined with the tenon pipe by welding, with no protrusion of weld reinforcement out of an outer periphery of the tenon pipe.
