TRUSS REINFORCEMENT

摘要

An apparatus for supporting a plurality of parallel spaced apart trusses comprises a center socket and first and second end sockets. The center socket is sized to receive a top edge of a first truss therein whereas the first and second end sockets are each sized to receive a bottom edge of adjacent second and third truss therein. The apparatus further comprises a first brace extending between the first end socket and the center socket and a second brace extending between the second end socket and the center socket. The base panel of the first and second end sockets define a first plane substantially parallel to the bottom edges of the plurality of trusses and the base panel of the center socket defines a second plane substantially parallel to the top edge of the plurality of trusses and second plane is angularly oriented relative to the first plane.

1. An apparatus for supporting a plurality of parallel spaced apart trusses, each truss having top and bottom edges wherein said top edge is angularly oriented relative to said bottom edge, the apparatus comprising:
a center socket comprising a base panel and first and second side panels extending from said base panel, said center socket being sized to receive a top edge of a first truss therein; first and second end sockets each comprising a base panel and first and second side panels extending from said base panel, each of said first and second end sockets being sized to receive a bottom edge of an adjacent second and third truss therein; a first brace extending between said first end socket and said center socket wherein said first brace includes a web portion extending along a vertical plane; and a second brace extending between said second end socket and said center socket wherein said second brace includes a web portion extending along a vertical plane, wherein said base panel of said first and second end sockets define a first plane substantially parallel to said bottom edges of said plurality of trusses and said base panel of said center socket defines a second plane substantially parallel to said top edge of said plurality of trusses, wherein said second plane is angularly oriented relative to said first plane.
