Apparatus and methods for connecting timber flanges
The present invention is directed to the field of building construction, and particularly the construction of multistorey buildings using timber as a major structural material. The invention is embodied in one form as a connector plate having a series of pins extending therefrom. In a building component, each pin engages with a relatively small diameter timber flanges by way of an axial bore hole formed in each flange. In this way, the flanges form a timber structural member useful in the formation of a framework of a building structure. The plate of the connector provides means for fastening to other similar connectors or to other building structures. Various combinations of connectors and building flanges may be used to construct a single storey building, and furthermore may be used in the construction of a multistorey building.
