TRUSS PITCH BREAK CONNECTOR PLATE

摘要

A truss pitch break connector plate (38) for an apex joint (36) of a roof truss (20); wherein the truss pitch connector plate (38) as a main body portion (86). A first stiffener flange (104) projects generally perpendicular from one face (88) of the main body portion (86) along an arcuate first edge (92) which has an outer radius (94). A second stiffener flange (106) projects generally perpendicular from the opposite face (90) of the main body portion (86) along an arcuate second edge (96) which has an inner radius (98). The main body portion (86) preferably is generally sector-shaped but is alternatively circular-shaped. The overall arrangement is such that the pitch break connector plate (38) will accommodate top chords (52, 54) of different sizes; and is capable of maintaining the top chords (52, 54) at any one of a range of roof pitches.
