A TIMBER CONNECTOR AND RELATED METHODS

ALLEN WARWICK JAMES

Abstract A connector comprising a connector body including a first region and a second region which are joined by a resilient transition region. The second region of the body extends laterally of the first region, in a first lateral direction, such that the second region and the first region together bound an angle. Flexing of the resilient transition region permits rotation of the second region relative the first, in order to increase the size of the angle. The connector body further comprises at least one penetrator. The at least one penetrator is adapted to penetrate a timber joist. The at least one penetrator extends from, and laterally of, said first region in a second lateral direction which substantially opposes the first lateral direction.
