Snugging connection and method

摘要

A snugging connection and method for moving a movable structural member into closer contact with a stationary structural member in which a connector for joining the two structural members is formed with a snugging member which is activated by driving a fastener through an elongated opening in the connector; snagging an end of the snugging member; causing the snugging member to pivotally rotate and move the connector in a direction generally in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the elongated opening. The two structural members are thus brought closer to each other and may cause the connector to be in tension.
