Abstract:
A device for compensating for the natural shrinkage of building materials includes an expander mounted on a base plate. An opening in the expander aligns with a hole in the base plate to define an axis and receive a shank of a fastener. The expander is biased axially away from the base plate substantially at the axis. The base plate can be securely fastened to a first building member. A fastener can be axially fixed relative to a second building member and the expander but not axially fixed relative to the base plate and first building member.

Claim (Index 6):
The building shrinkage compensation device of  claim 1 , wherein the opening in the expander is defined by an inner edge, comprising an elongate fastener with an axial shank extending through the opening in the expander and the hole in the base plate, wherein the shank is axially fixed relative to the expander and axially movable fixed relative to the base plate.
