1. A building connection (1) between a first structural member (2) and a second structural member (3), the first structural member (2) and the second structural member (3) being connected by a multipurpose connector (4) in conjunction with a plurality of fasteners (18), the building connection comprising:
a. the first structural member (2); b. the second structural member (3); c. the plurality of fasteners (18); and c. the multipurpose connector (4) comprising:
i. a first flange (5), at least a portion of which is substantially planar, with a first plurality of fastener openings (6);ii. a second flange (7), at least a portion of which is substantially planar, with a second plurality of fastener openings (6), the second flange (7) being angularly joined to the first flange (5) at a first angular juncture (8) having a first juncture length (80), wherein:
(a) the second flange (7) has a second body portion (9) bounded at least in part by a second outer boundary (10) at least partially opposite the first angular juncture (8), the second outer boundary (10) having a second outer boundary length (100);(b) the second flange (7) has a first tab (11) that extends from the second outer boundary (10) away from the angular juncture (8), the first tab (11) joining the second body portion (9) of the second flange (7) at an inner tab boundary (12) that is partially coincident with the second outer boundary (10), the inner tab boundary (12) having a inner tab boundary length (120) that is less than the second outer boundary length (100);(c) the second flange (7) has a first bolt opening (13) that is at least partially within the first tab (11) and is larger than at least one of the second plurality of fastener openings (6);(d) the first flange (5) has a first body portion (15) bounded at least in part by a first outer boundary (16) at least partially opposite the first angular juncture (8), the first outer boundary (16) having a first outer boundary length (160);(e) the first flange (5) has a first recess edge (17) that is part of the first outer boundary (16) and creates an indent in the first outer boundary (16) toward the angular juncture (8), the first recess edge (17) constricting the first body portion (15) of the first flange (5) along the first outer boundary (16), the first recess edge (17) having a first recess edge length (170) that is less than the first outer boundary length (160);(f) at least one of the plurality of fasteners (18) passes through one of the first plurality of fastener openings (6) in the first flange (5) and into the first structural member (2); and(g) at least one of the plurality of fasteners (18) passes through at least one of the first bolt opening (13) and the second plurality of fastener openings (6) in the second flange (7) into the second structural member (3). |
