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 3):
The building shrinkage compensation device of  claim 2 , wherein the expander includes at least one outer edge that is received in a notch of the base, thereby restricting movement of the outer edge in a direction away from the hole.
