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 11):
A method a making a metal truss assembly, comprising:\n providing a plurality of structural members including two upper chord members, at least one lower chord member and a plurality of web members connected between the upper and lower chord members; providing each chord member with a chord base and two opposing chord flanges, each web member having a web base and two opposing web flanges; placing each chord base parallel to each web base 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, the two upper chord member bases also overlapping each other at one of the copes; forming a plurality of cutouts in the two opposing chord flanges that extend from each chord base, each of the upper and lower chord members receiving an end of at least two of the web members at two of the cutouts, each cope being adjacent a cutout; providing an alignment hole in each of the base web and the chord web, at each cope, the alignment holes being aligned to properly position the web members with respect to the chord members; and fastening a plurality of fasteners in each cope, the fasteners being spaced from the alignment holes of a respective cope and extending through the web base and chord base at each cope for connecting the chord members to the web members.
