The present invention relates to a truss connector brace for facilitating erecting roof trusses by sliding the brace into connection with a truss, the truss connector brace comprising a first end bracket, a second end bracket, and an intermediate member connecting the first end bracket to the second end bracket, wherein each of the first and second bracket comprises a connecting section arranged for joining the end bracket to an intermediate member, a first mounting section having a first side and an opposing second side, the first and second side defining a first mounting plane, a second mounting section connected to the first mounting section, the second mounting section having a first side and a second side, the first and second side defining a second mounting plane arranged in an angle different from 0° in relation to the first mounting plane, and a positioning section connected to the second mounting section, the positioning section having a first positioning side and a second positioning side and a tip section comprising a tip point arranged in a tip plane the tip plane being parallel to the first mounting plane, the tip plane being arranged a distance from the first mounting plane, and the tip section being arranged a distance from the second mounting plane. Moreover, the present invention relates to a system for erecting trusses for a roof structure and to a method of manufacturing the end brackets.
The present invention relates to a tensioning bracket (1) for tensioning at least one perforated band (6) defining a longitudinal band axis (15), the bracket comprising at least one bracket element (2) having a thickness and comprising a first body section (3) defining a first longitudinal body axis, a first body width, and the first body section comprising a number of projecting pins (11) arranged to receive the perforations (7) of the band, the projecting pins identifying a pin side and an opposing non-pin side of the bracket element, and a second body section (4) defining a second longitudinal body axis, a second body width comprising a number of holes (12) arranged in the same pattern as the projecting pins of the first body section, and the bracket element further comprising an attachment section (8) for attaching means for pulling and thereby tensioning the perforated band, wherein the first and second body sections are connected to each other via a common section (5) made of the same piece of material as the first and second body section and wherein the bracket element is configured so that when bending the element along a bending line in the common section the pins of the first section are received in holes of the second body section.
The present invention relates to a wind brace band connector comprising at least a first and a second one-piece connector element for connecting at least one perforated band defining a longitudinal band axis to a connection bracket attached to a building, or for connecting at least two perforated bands with each other. The connector is easy to connect to a perforated band, i.e. a wind brace strap using no or just a simple tool.
The present invention relates to a bent column shoe formed from one piece of sheet metal with a material thickness, the sheet metal having a first side and a second side, the bent column shoe comprising an anchor section with a longitudinal axis and a width axis, wherein the anchor section has a first end and a second end, —a supporting section with a first supporting end and a second supporting end, wherein the first supporting end is in extension of the second end of the anchor section, a support section with a support face, arranged substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the anchor section, and wherein the support section is arranged in extension of the supporting section, and at least one fastening face arranged substantially perpendicular to the support face, and wherein the anchor section, the supporting section, the support section and the at least one fastening face are manufactured from one and the same piece of sheet metal, characterised in that the anchor section, measured along the width axis, comprises at least three layers of the sheet metal arranged to provide at least three times the material thickness relative to the support section measured along the longitudinal axis.
A computer-implemented method for deciding on a bracket connection is provided. The method comprises selecting one of a specific bracket type or a specific configuration of a supported member and a supporting member, identifying, based on the selected bracket type if such is selected, at least one configuration of a supported member and a supporting member associated with the selected bracket type, or, based on the selected specific configuration of a supported member and a supporting member if such is selected, at least one bracket type being associated with the configuration of the supported member and the supporting member, the bracket and the configuration of the supported member and the supporting member together forming a bracket connection, and determining one or more properties of the identified bracket connection.
