Adjustable sidewall connection for roof panel support joists

摘要

An adjustable sidewall connection for roof joists includes a plurality of diverging braces connected at one of their ends to substantially the same location on the joist and diverging at their other ends to three spaced apart points of attachment to the sidewall, thereby bracing the joist against movement in a direction parallel to the plane of the sidewall and providing support to the sidewall in a direction perpendicular to the plane of the sidewall. The adjustable connection spans the space between the joist and adjacent sidewall in those constructions where the distance between sidewalls is not divisible by four (the nominal width of each joist).
