Abstract
A right-angled bracket of rigid material 1 as shown in Figure 1 is affixed about a vertical corner of a square post to utilise this geometric feature of the post to afford stability and support about one or more diagonal fixing screws 2 or bolts through the centre area of the main bracket for the level attachment of 1 or more joists and beams 12 in the construction of decks; roofs and other architectural items.
Description
I
POST/JOiST BRACKET
DESCRIPTION
The building trade suppliers currently stock joist hangers and other brackets that accommodate the need to fix a single joist onto a wall, beam or post using multiple screws on either side of the bracket. However, as more joists are sometimes required to emanate from a single point such as a post, then the fixing options become more complicated, either by complicated joinery work on the post reducing its strength, or by overlapping the joists one above the other with wasteful consequences, or by using screws fixed at oblique angles to the timbers that is inherently weaker than using the full timber thickness.
This invention comprises of a device that uses a formed or moulded right-angle bracket 1 as shown in Figures 1 and 3 clamped around the corner edge of the post usually by way of one single fixing screw 2 set diagonally into the square post for maximum strength thereby pulling the bracket tightly onto the post corner. With a suitable bracket thickness according to the material used, the post timber strength is transmitted to the attached joists 12 that are hence arranged level and conveniently aligned with the post. This permits the minimum floor thickness for minimum excavation and aesthetic value.
Additional strength can be gained by the use of sub-screws 11 through the discreet tabs 3 below the joist plates. The joists 12 are fixed with screws through joist side plate holes 4. This arrangement still leaves the front face completely clear of any bracket material for front facing or aesthetic value.
The bracket is designed to allow for the currently-available post, joist and decking dimensions and also including the practice of finishing the decking with a decking strip 13 along the front of the front joist timber 12.
An additional bracket 8 as shown in Figure 2 is allowed for to support a diagonal degree joist meeting at the same post, sharing the main bracket's strength. This bracket is attached with screws 10 through holes 6 aligned with the main bracket additional screw holes.
Alternative brackets 14 as shown in Figure 4 with altered joist plates 15 are allowed for to facilitate joists arranged at other angles 16 to the post, such as those required for hexagon decking plans and other architectural features.
Additional brackets 17 as shown in Figures 5 and 6 are allowed for to facilitate the attachment of a joist on the third face of the post for intermediate post situations.
A support bracket of rigid material for attachment to a square post with a diagonal fixing screw or bolt to enable joists and beams to be fixed with maximum strength at the same tevet, without complex joinery compromising the strength of the post or weak oblique screw fixing methods.
A bracket added to a bracket as claimed in Claim 1 that facilitates the attachment of a further joist bracket to support a diagonal joist in horizontal alignment with the other joists.
Versions of a bracket as claimed in Claim I that facilitate other angles of joist attachment as used in non-square architectural developments.
A supplementary bracket to a bracket as claimed in Claim 1 that complements it to allow joists to be fixed to three faces of the post for intermediary post installations A bracket as claimed in any preceding claim that is made from metal, plastics material or wood, or any combination of these materials.
A post/joist bracket system substantially herein described and illustrated in the accompanying drawings in Figures 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6.
