Abstract:
1. A connection between a first truss, a second truss, a first truss mounting brace, and a second truss mounting brace, the connection comprising: a. said first truss having a front side and an opposite side disposed laterally therefrom on the opposed side of the first truss; b. said second truss having a front side and an opposite side disposed laterally therefrom on the opposed side of the second truss, said second truss being disposed substantially parallel to and spaced a selected distance away from said first truss, said opposite side of said second truss facing and being disposed parallel to said front side of said first truss; c. said first truss mounting brace attached to the first truss, the first truss mounting brace having a mounting section and an opposed gripping section with a body section connecting the opposed gripping section to the mounting section, said mounting section of said first truss mounting brace being attached to the first truss, said mounting section also projecting substantially away from said opposite side of said first truss and also from said opposite side of said second truss; and where said gripping section of said first truss mounting brace projects away from said front side of said first truss and extends towards said opposite side of said second truss, but said gripping section and said first truss mounting brace does not reach said opposite side of said second truss, such that said first truss mounting brace does not make any contact with said second truss; d. said second truss mounting brace being attached to the second truss, the second truss mounting brace having a mounting section and an opposed gripping section with a body section connecting the opposed gripping section to the mounting section, said mounting section of said second truss mounting brace being attached to the second truss, said mounting section also projecting substantially away from said opposite side of said second truss and extending toward said front side of said first truss, but said mounting section and said second truss mounting brace does not reach said front side of said first truss, such that said second truss mounting brace does not make any contact with said first truss, said mounting section of said second truss mounting brace engaging said gripping section of said first truss mounting brace such that the second truss is braced by the first truss, and said gripping section of said second truss mounting brace projecting away from said front side of said second truss and projecting away from said front side of said first truss.
