Abstract

There is disclosed a method of forming a floating connection between a structural member and a wall member, the method comprising securing a rigid connecting element to one of the members such that it projects from that member, along a substantially upright axis, into the other member, whereby there is formed, between the element and said other member, a sliding fit which permits relative movement between the element and said other member parallel to the axis but precludes relative movement between said element and said other member perpendicular to said axis, thereby allowing the structural member to move parallel to the axis but transferring, from the wall member into the structural member or from the structural member into the wall member, loads perpendicular to the axis so as to brace the member from which it transfers the loads, wherein said element is driven, through said other member and into said one member, so as to form in said other member a passage in which it extends in said connection.

Claims (30)

1. A method of forming a floating connection between a structural member and a wall member, the method comprising securing a rigid connecting element to one of the members such that it projects from that member, along a substantially upright axis, into the other member, whereby there is formed, between the element and said other member, a sliding fit which permits relative movement between the element and said other member parallel to the axis but precludes relative movement between said element and said other member perpendicular to said axis, thereby allowing the structural member to move parallel to the axis but transferring, from the wall member into the structural member or from the structural member into the wall member, loads perpendicular to the axis so as to brace the member from which it transfers the loads, wherein said element is driven, through said other member and into said one member, so as to form in said other member a passage in which it extends in said connection.
2. A method according to claim 1, wherein the wall member is a top plate of a wall frame.
3. A method according claim 1 or claim 2, wherein said element is introduced through a surface of said other member which faces away from said one member, so as to extend through said other member, and driven into said one member.
4. A method according to claim 3, wherein said surface is an underside surface of said other member.
5. A method according to claim 3 or claim 4, wherein said element is both introduced through said surface and driven into said one member by an installer standing directly on an installed floor structure of a building of which said connection is to form a part.
6. A method according to any one of the preceding claims, wherein said rigid element is defined by a fastener.
7. A method according to claim 6, wherein the fastener is elongate along said axis.
8. A method according to claim 6 or claim 7, wherein the fastener is threaded.
9. A method according to any one of claims 6 to 8, wherein the fastener is self-tapping and driven through said other member so as to form said passage therethrough.
10. A method according to any one of claims 6 to 9, wherein the fastener has a threaded portion and a threadless portion between the threaded portion and a trailing end of the fastener, and is driven through said other member such that, in the connection, the threaded portion is disengaged from said other member and the threadless portion extends in the passage so as to be able to slide axially therein.
11. A method according to claim 10, wherein the fastener comprises a reaming portion, between the threaded portion and the threadless portion, which reams said other member during driving of the fastener and is passed through said other member so as to be spaced therefrom in said connection.
12. A method according to claim 11, wherein the reaming portion is not smaller in cross- section than the threadless portion.
13. A method according to claim 12, wherein the reaming portion is larger in cross section than the threadless portion.
14. A method according to any one of claims 10 to 13, wherein the reaming portion is not smaller in cross-section than the trailing end, and the fastener is driven through said one member such that the trailing end is contained in said passage.
15. A method according to claim 14, wherein the reaming portion is larger in cross section than the trailing end.
16. A method according to any one of claims 10 to 15, wherein the trailing end is not larger in cross-section than the threadless portion, and the fastener is driven through said other member such that the trailing end is contained in said passage.
17. A method according to any one of claims 10 to 16, wherein the trailing end is configured with at least one formation engaged by a tool to effect the driving of the fastener.
18. A method according to claim 17, wherein the or each formation is defined by a recess formed through a trailing face of the trailing end.
19. A method according to any one of the preceding claims, wherein said one member is said structural member.
20. A method according to any one of the preceding claims, wherein the structural member is arranged above the wall member.
21. A method according to any one of the preceding claims, wherein the structural member forms part of a truss.
22. A method according to claim 21, wherein the structural member is a bottom chord of the truss.
23. A method according to any one of the preceding claims, wherein the structural member is a roof frame member.
24. A method according to claim 23, when appended to claim 21 or claim 22, wherein the truss is a roof truss or floor truss.
25. A method according to any one of claims 1 to 20 and 23, wherein the structural member is a trimmer.
26. A method according to claim 25, wherein the trimmer extends between two trusses.
27. A method according to any one of the preceding claims, wherein the wall member is a member in a frame for an internal wall.
28. A method according to any one of the preceding claims, wherein said members are timber members.
29. A method according to claim to any one of the preceding claims, wherein the element comprises a screw.
30. The connection formed via a method according to any one of the preceding claims.
