NODES FOR FRAME STRUCTURES

A node (122) for interconnecting frame members (24) of a frame, the node including a single piece node body (128). A plurality of cup-shaped node connectors (126) are disposed on the node body. Each of the plurality of node connectors include a closed end (34) attached to the node body and an open end (36) opposite the closed end and extending away from the node body. A sidewall (142) extends between and connects the closed end to the open end. A tenon (140) is formed on the open end. The tenon is shaped and sized to fit within a frame member. A transition (144) is formed between the sidewalland the tenon defining a peripheral, radially outwardly facing groove in cooperation with the frame member, the groove shaped and sized to receive a weld. 一种用于互连框架的框架构件(24)的节点(122)，节点包括单件节点本体(128)。多个杯形节点连接器(126)设置在节点本体上。多个节点连接器中的每一个包括附接到节点本体的封闭端(34)和与封闭端相对且远离节点本体延伸的开放端(36)。侧壁(142)在封闭端与开放端之间延伸，并将封闭端连接到开放端。榫(140)形成于开放端上。榫形状和尺寸适于配合在框架构件内。在侧壁和榫之间形成过渡部(144)，过渡部限定与框架构件协作的外周径向向外面向的凹槽，凹槽形状和尺寸适于接受焊接。
