Patent ID: 8746780

Claim:
A structural member sub-assembly, comprising: a first reinforcer having a rigid carrier and a bonding material disposed on a first outer surface and on a second outer surface of said carrier of said first reinforcer, said first and second outer surfaces of said carrier of said first reinforcer each being disposed along and facing outwardly from an outermost perimeter of said carrier of said first reinforcer, and said second outer surface being substantially orthogonal to said first outer surface such that a first portion of the bonding material disposed on the first outer surface of said carrier of said first reinforcer is configured to bond to a first surface of a structural member receiving the sub-assembly, and a second portion of the bonding material disposed on the second outer surface of said carrier of said first reinforcer is configured to bond to a second surface of the structural member receiving the sub-assembly, wherein the second surface of the structural member is substantially orthogonal to the first surface of the structural member; a second reinforcer having a rigid carrier and a bonding material disposed on a first outer surface and on a second outer surface of said carrier of said second reinforcer, said second outer surface being substantially orthogonal to said first outer surface such that a first portion of the bonding material disposed on the first outer surface of said carrier of said second reinforcer is configured to bond to a third surface of the structural member receiving the sub-assembly, and a second portion of the bonding material disposed on the second outer surface of said carrier of said second reinforcer is configured to bond to a fourth surface of the structural member receiving the sub-assembly, wherein the third surface of the structural member is substantially orthogonal to the fourth surface of the structural member; and a bracket connected to said respective-second surfaces of said first and second reinforcers.
