H:/plw/Interwoven/NRPortbl/DCC/PLW/8732519 L.docx-29/10/2015 -9 A fastening for coupling two components of a building structure comprises a first part for attachment to one of the components and a second part for attachment to the other of the component, the two parts each being of plate-like form. The first part provides a multiplicity of locking projections and the second part provides a multiplicity of apertures arranged in a configuration equivalent to that of the locking projections of the first part such that when the two parts are applied together in face-to-face relation the locking projections of the first part can extend through the apertures of the second part and lock to the second part to thereby lock the two parts together against separation of the two parts. The fastening has particular utility as quick-action fastening for locking a roof truss to the top plate of an underlying wall frame. Aww
