Angle Spreader for Trusses

摘要

A truss hinge that allows hinging between truss parts, and also allows configuration into a different size, and spreads the angle of the truss open ends. One embodiment uses a first plate, having a connection part to a first truss, where the connection part is adapted for connection to a first truss. A second plate is movable relative to the first plate. The second plate also has a second connection part adapted for connection to a second truss. An angle setting part forms a connection between the first plate and the second plate, that holds the first plate relative to the second plate at any of a number of different relative locations between the first plate and the second plate. The plates include angle markings to set the connections.

主权项

1. A method for adjusting angles between multiple trusses, said method comprising:
attaching a first plate to a first truss; attaching a second plate to a second truss; said first plate connected to said second plate via an angle setting part, and adjusting said angle setting part to a hold a first relative location between said first plate and said second plate; where each of said first plate and said second plate include angle markings thereon which indicate an angle which will be formed between trusses that are connected to said first plate and said second plate when said angle setting part is set to one of said connections, and wherein said adjusting comprises selecting positions for both said first plate and said second plate based on said angle markings.
