Title: Joint structure

Abstract: Joint formed by juxtaposed front and rear members fastened together by a self-drilling, self-tapping screw is provided with a slot in the front surface of the rear member. The slot provides space for receiving the chips produced by the drill end of the screw to avoid buildup of chips which might fall between and separate the joint members.
