Respectively connected to pipe elements 20 and 26 are supports 28 and 30, between whichl extend wooden beams 32 and` 34, which will be discussed in greater detail hereinafter.
As willV be shown, the adjustment stud 24 has operatively associated therewith a rod 36, by means of which a threadable adjustment is made between pipe elements 22 and 26, constituting a fine adjustment, the wooden beams 32 and 34 being adapted for being cut to length at the site of the construction and constituting a coarse adjustment for the wall brace, as will become evidentV hereinafter.
Brackets 16 and 18 are shown in greater detail in FIGS. 2 and 3 wherein it is seen that each bracket comprises a base 3S and two upstanding anges 40- and 42, which are parallel to each other and spaced at a distance adapted to accommodate the extremity of pipe element 22, as will be shown hereinafter.
The base 38` of each bracket is provided with an elongated slot 44', which is disposed generally perpendicularly relative to the flanges 40 and 42 and which opens laterally in the said base. The slot 44 is moreover provided with a rounded terminal portion 46, to accommodate the shankV of a bolt or the like.
Flanges 40 and 42 are respectively lprovided with openings or holes 48 and 50', which are coaxially aligned for a purpose which will become apparent hereinafter.
The brackets described above may be fabricated from a material having suitable constructional strength, such as malleable iron.

The atted end portion 52` comprises diametrally opposed holes or openings 62 and 64'which are adapted for being aligned with the holes 48 and 50 of the iianges 40 and 42 of FIGS. 2 and 3, so as to be able to accommodate the passage therethrough of a bolt 66 (FIG. 1) which receives thereon a nut 68 which cooperatively lock the pipe element 22, for example, to the bracket 18, an equivalent pivotal connection being provided between the pipe element 20 and the bracket 16.
Each pipe element (FIGS. 4 and 5) is generally circular in cross-section with the exception of the iiatted end portion and is moreover hollow and is further provided with an internal thread 70 in the second end portion 52, the purpose of said thread made hereinafter apparent.
FIGS. 6 and 7 illustrate the details of the adjustment stud 24 of FIG. 1.
In FIGS. 6 and 7 it is seen that the adjustment stud generally comprises rst and second end portions 72 and 74 of generally hollow cylindrical form, there being provided an intermediate portion 76 provided with a diametral passage 78 extending therethough.
The intermediate portion 76 connects end portions 72 and 74 to each other in coaxially aligned relationship.
Intermediate portion 78 may be of hollow form or alternatively may be of solid form, in which event the diametral passage 78 extends completely therethrough.
End portions 72 and 74 are respectively provided with exterior threads 80 and 82, the exterior thread 80 being engaged with the interior thread 70 of the pipe element 22 (see FIG. 1).
The adjustment stud 24 may be made of any material having suitable constructional strength, such as steel or iron.
As has been heretofore noted, the adjustment stud 24 constitutes a fine length adjustment for the tilt-up wall brace of the invention and to this end the threads 80 and 82 are oppositely directed although being in coaxial relationship, this provision being discussed in greater detail hereinafter. The line adjustment is, however, effected through the intermediary of the rod 36 (FIG. 1) which is accommodated in the diametral passage 78, either with a xed friction tit or by being welded to the adjustment 24, as desired.
The details of the third pipe element 26 are illustrated in FIGS. 8 and 9 wherein it is seen that this element comprises a rst end portion 84 and a second end portion 86, the latter end portion having a smaller diameter than the end portion 84.
Pipe element 26 moreover comprises an `intermediate conical portion 88 which connects the end portions 84 and 86 in coaxial relationship.
Each of the end portions is provided with an internal or interior thread, there being provided an internal thread 90 for end portion 84 and an internal thread 92 for end portion 86.
Pipe element 26 is made of a suitably strong material such as steel or iron or the like and the. internal thread 92 of end portion 86 is engaged with the external thread 82 on end portion 74 of the adjustment stud 24.
The details of supports 28 and 30 are shown in FIGS. and 11 wherein it is seen that each support comprises a base 94 with a center ange 96 extending upwardly therefrom so as to form therewith an inverted T-beam.
Depending from the base 94 are a plurality of arcuate segments 98, 100, 102 and 104 concentrically arranged to constitute a cylindrical component which in turn constitutes a connecting element by virtue of the provision of exterior thread 106 which is provided on said arcuate segments.
The thread 106 of the support 28 is engaged with the corresponding internal thread of the pipe element and the thread 106 of the support 30 is engaged with the interior thread of the end portion 84 of the pipe element 26.
Wooden beams 32 and 34 are spaced parallel wooden beams fabricated of any wood having suitable strength and readily available at a construction site of usual type.
xedly secure the beams 32 and 34 to the supports 28 1 and 30.
The provision of the adjustment stud 24 with the oppositely directed threads provides a line adjustment technique for use in association with the tilt-up wall brace of the invention. The use of the two oppositely directed threads permits an amplilied or double-acting adjustt ment.
At the same time the provision of wooden beams 32 and 34 permits of a coarse adjustment, inasmuch as these beams can be cut to length at the site of the construction.`
Elements 22 and 26 are pipe elements having large diameters which enhance the compression strength of the overall wall brace construction, it being noted that these elements along with adjustment stud 24 and beams 32 and 34 cooperatively constitute a rectilinear structure adapted for having compressive stresses applied thereto when the element 12 tends to pivot or fall down against the construction element 14.
In accordance `with the invention, the elements 20, 22 and 26 are cold worked or swaged in order to work harden these elementsso as to provide a maximum strength at a minimum cost.
