1. A connection between a first stud, a second stud, a first bridging member and a second bridging member, the connection comprising:
a. said first stud having a front face and an opposite face disposed laterally therefrom on the opposed face of the first stud, the first stud having an opening there through that communicates between the front face and the opposite face of the first stud; b. said second stud having a front face and an opposite face disposed laterally therefrom on the opposed face of the second stud, said second stud being disposed substantially parallel to and spaced a selected distance away from said first stud, said opposite face of said second stud facing and being disposed parallel to said front face of said first stud, the second stud having an opening there through that communicates between the front face and the opposite face of the second stud; c. said first bridging member engaging the first stud and received in the opening of the first stud, the first bridging member having a longitudinal, central axis with a mounting section and opposed first and second connecting sections on either side of the mounting section along the longitudinal, central axis, said mounting section of said first bridging member being received in the opening of the first stud, said second connecting section projecting substantially away from said opposite face of said first stud and also from said opposite face of said second stud, and said first connecting section of said first bridging member projects away from said front face of said first stud and extends towards said opposite face of said second stud; d. said second bridging member engaging the second stud and received in the opening of the second stud, the second bridging member having a longitudinal, central axis with a mounting section and opposed first and second connecting sections on either side of the mounting section along the longitudinal axis of said second bridging member, said mounting section of said first bridging member engaging said second stud and being received in said opening of said second stud, said second connecting section projecting substantially away from said opposite face of said second stud and extending toward said front face of said first stud, said second connecting section of said second bridging member engaging said first connecting section of said first bridging member such that the second stud is braced by the first stud, said first connecting section of said second bridging member projecting away from said front face of said second stud and projecting away from said front face of said first stud; e. said mounting section of said first bridging member having a first body part, said first body part having a first side flange attached to the first body part at an angle thereto, the first body part of the mounting section also having a first inner edge with a first web interface portion and a second web interface portion, the first inner edge contacting or being closely adjacent to the front face of said first stud, f. said mounting section of said first bridging member having a second body part joined to the first body part by a neck that passes through the opening in the first stud, said second body part having a first side flange attached to the second body part at an angle thereto, the second body part of the mounting section having a first inner edge facing the opposite face of the first stud, the first inner edge having a third web interface portion and a fourth web interface portion, the first inner edge contacting or being closely adjacent to the opposite face of said first stud. |
