Abstract:
A metal truss assembly comprises a plurality of C-shape structural members including at least one chord member and two or more adjacent web members, each structural member having a base and two opposing flanges. The at least one C-shape chord member has flanges extending from each side of the base with one flange having cutouts to receive two C-shape web members with a part of said flange of said chord member in place between said cutouts. Each said C-shape web member is placed into one of the cutouts in said flange to intersect the at least one chord member with the bases of the two C-shape web members adjacent the base of the at least one chord member.

Claim (Index 1):
A method of creating a metal truss assembly, comprising:\n providing a plurality of C-shape structural members including at least one upper chord member, at least one lower chord member and a plurality of web members connected between the upper and lower chord members, each chord member having a chord base and two opposing chord flanges, and each web member having a web base and two opposing web flanges, the two opposing chord flanges extend from each chord base; forming a plurality of cutouts in one of the two opposing chord flanges of each chord member; inserting ends of at least two of the web members into two respective cutouts of the chord flanges of each of the upper and lower chord members, each chord base being parallel to each web base and all the flanges extending in the same direction, with at least some of the chord bases overlapping at least some of the web bases at a plurality of copes, each cope being near an end of a web member and adjacent a cutout; providing an alignment hole in each base web and in each chord web at each cope; aligning the alignment holes of the base web and chord web of each cope for positioning the web members with respect to the chord members; and fastening the web members to the chord members using a plurality of fasteners in each cope, the fasteners being spaced from each other and from each respective alignment hole of a cope, the fasteners extending through the web base and through the chord base at each cope for connecting the chord members to the web members.
