connecting angle


Explanation:

Caution

Although 'cantonale' alone is 'angle iron', but based on the description to be translated - this would more precisely be cantonale d'unione.

Translation piece

"Componente che rinforza gli spigoli laterali dell'imballaggio consentendo un'unione reciproca di fondo, fiancate e testate

cantonale 1 (ind. metall.), angle; 2 cantonale di ferro (mur.), angle iron; 3 cantonale d'unione (di travatura metallica) (ed. - ind.), connecting angle, joint angle. [source Hoepli's The Complete Technical Dictionary]


Angle iron usually runs in long strips all the way along and edge - where 'connecting angle' are shorter pieces for reinforcing the corners of joints - especially on boxes. Connecting angles reinforce the corners ("spigoli") of a container.

[btw make sure it's not spelled 'connecting angel' which is a common mistake ;) ]

[btw my "along and edge" above is not a typo - I meant to indicate, the 'angle iron' creates an edge, but 'connecting angles' don't necessarily create an edge.]

Example sentence(s):
  • The shells are mainly formed of a shell skin and a plurality of stiffening elements and <b>connecting angle</b> pieces for reinforcement arranged thereon. [web source]

neutral  Mr Murray (X): Great word! Could be possible - but I think 'cantonale' are usually metal and battens in wood - batten (strip of wood) (join.), assicella, listello; but it's still possible here

  -> è anche chiamato angolare o quadrotto, listello che rinforza gli angoli/spigoli laterali, credo se non vado errata, che qui si sta parlando di casse in legno
