shoe or socket of the form shown in the Drawings annexed. Each shoe or socket I
make preferably of Iron but any other metal or material found convenient may
be used.
In order that my Invention may be fully understood I append Drawings in which
figure is a plan view or view looking downwards of my appliance. A is the side of
the casting and B the bottom of the same. The orifice may be cast of oval (as shewn
in the figure) or other suitable shape. With the object of lightening the weight,
while not reducing the strength of the Joist holder, Slots C. Care made in that part
of the Joist holder into which the Joist fits. As also shewn in the figures. The
object of these Slots is to allow for laths D D to be fixed by nails. The Joint is
shewn at E figure 2 shews the side view of the appliance. The hole F is bored or cast
in the side for the purpose of better fixing the Joist by means of a nail. The Nail
