ABSTRACT The coupler portion of a connector assembly for interconnecting vertical columns and horizontal beams includes a rectangularly shaped hollow block member having a vertical row of slots formed along the height of each of its sidewalls. The block member is connectable to the top or bottom of a vertical column or between two abutting vertical columns by a joiner insert composed of a flat flange section and a transverse stud section extending normally one side of the flange to engage within a central hole provided in the end wall of the hollow block member, The joiner insert also includes a plug section extending normally from the flange section in a direction opposite the stud section to engage within a socket formed in the end portion of each column. The connector assembly also includes a T-shaped bracket engageable within a vertical slot formed in each end portion of the horizontal beams. The bracket includes a plurality of vertically spaced apart downwardly open hooks which slidably engage within, and securely lock with, the block member slots to thereby interconnect the horizontal beams with the end portion of a column or between the ends of two vertically abutting columns. -31-
