ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A connector sleeve device for connecting together first and second posts, comprises a sleeve having an outer surface dimensioned to be received within the interior surfaces of the first and second posts. A first flexible protrusion is formed in a mid-region of the sleeve and has an abutment surface adapted to abut an end surface of the first post when the sleeve is received therein. The contact between the abutment surface and the end surface prevents the sleeve from being moved further into the second post. A second flexible protrusion is formed in the mid-region of the sleeve and has a second abutment surface adapted to abut an end surface of the second post when the sleeve is inserted into the second post. The contact between the second abutment surface and end surface of the second post prevents the sleeve from being moved further into the second post. The abutment surfaces of the first and second flexible protrusions are formed in substantially the same cross-sectional radial plane relative to the sleeve so that the end surfaces of the first and second posts can mate together, making the sleeve substantially invisible. Preferably, the flexible protrusions are inclined tabs disposed on opposite slides of a hollow cylindrical sleeve and are fluted in cross-section.
