Connecting plate for timber roof trusses - has cut-out teeth arranged in three groups extending in different directions

摘要

The timber trusses consist of beams (1), joists and battens (4) which are joined at intersections by means of connecting-plates. Each metal connecting plate has three areas of teeth formed by notches, the middle ones of which have cutout edges running lengthwise, of the plate. Teeth (11, 12) jut up around the transverse bases (13, 14) to form a right-angle with the plate (8). Each of the two lengthwise ends of the plate has an area (15) in which are similar teeth (16, 17) formed by transverse notches. The teeth can all be of the same length.
