1. A building connection (1) comprising:
a. a first structural member (2) with a first attachment surface (3); b. a second structural member (18) with a second attachment surface (19) angularly related to the first attachment surface (3) of the first structural member (2), the second structural member (18) supporting the first structural member (2); and c. a connector (4) having:
i. a body (5) with a first perimeter edge (6), an attachment face (21) and an open face (22) opposite the attachment face (21), the body (5) being fastened to the first structural member (2) with the attachment face (21) interfacing with the first attachment surface (3) of the first structural member (2); andii. a first tab (7) joined to the body (5) at a first bend (8) located away from the first perimeter edge (6), the first tab (7) having:
(a) a first tab attachment face (23) and a first open face (24) opposite the first tab attachment face (23);(b) a first tab extension portion (9) joined to the first bend (8); and(c) a first tab attachment portion (10) joined to the first tab extension portion (9) and separated from the first bend (8) by the first tab extension portion (9), the first tab attachment portion (10) having a first free end (11) oriented away from the first tab extension portion (9), the first tab attachment portion (10) being fastened to the second structural member (18) with the attachment face (23) interfacing with the second attachment surface (19) of the second structural member (18), wherein:
i. the first bend (8) has a first end (12) and the body (5) has a first lateral portion (13) that extends beyond the first end (12) of the first bend (8);ii. the first lateral portion (13) of the body (5) extends to either side of the first bend (8);iii. the first tab extension portion (9) and the first attachment portion (10) of the first tab (7) do not occupy a single plane; andiv. the attachment face (23) of the first tab extension portion (9) and the open face (22) of the body (5) between the first bend (8) and the first perimeter edge (6) define a first acute angle (25); and wherein:(d) the body (5) of the connector (4) has an outer boundary (26), the first perimeter edge (6) is one of a plurality of perimeter edges (6) that comprise the outer boundary (26) of the body (5) of the connector (4), and the first bend (8) is entirely within the outer boundary (26), and the first tab (7) does not intersect the outer boundary (26), and the body (5) of the connector (4) has a plurality of protruding nail prongs (14) that are embedded in the first attachment surface (3) of the first structural member (2); and wherein(e) an additional lateral portion (13) is provided at the other end of the bend (8), the additional lateral portion (13) extending to both sides of the bend (8), and the lateral portions (13) at the end of the bend (8) have protruding nail prongs on both sides of the bend (8). |
