Hold Down Connector

US Patent:

Filed:
Sep 5, 2008
Appl. No.:
12/205638
Inventors:
Robert D. Lucey - Temecula CA, US
Ronald F. Nelson - Hermosa Beach CA, US
Assignee:
MiTek Holdings, Inc. - Wilmington DE
International Classification:
E04B 1/38
US Classification:
52706, 52715, 4032321
Abstract:
A hold down connector is provided for securing together multiple building members. The hold down connector resists movement of the building members when connected to an elongated tie member. In one embodiment, the hold down connector includes a transverse portion connected to first and second elongated legs with at least one aperture at elongated connections between the transverse portion and the first leg and between the transverse portion and second leg. In another embodiment, the hold down connector includes a transverse portion connected to first and second elongated legs with the transverse portion partially supported by transverse extensions of the first and second legs. A hold down connector in accordance with embodiments results in increased load bearing properties, construction from thicker materials, and easy installation.
