Abstract:
A framing assembly is disclosed. The framing assembly includes a bracket defining a first bracket section and a second bracket section aligned in perpendicular relation relative to the first bracket section along a bracket bend. The bracket includes a first slit and a second slit formed along the second bracket section. The first slit and the second slit define a tapered or triangular shape. The first bracket section includes a plurality of linear sides and corners defined along the linear sides. The first bracket section may be coupled to a joist by disposing the first bracket section within an interior portion of a joist defined by a web, flanges, and returns of the joist. The linear sides and the corners of the bracket facilitate the bracket to snap in place within the interior portion of the joist and the first slit and the second slit receive the returns of the joist.

Claim (Index 1):
A framing assembly, comprising:\n a bracket comprising\n a first bracket section in communication with a second bracket section with a bracket bend defined between the first bracket section and the second bracket section, the first bracket section aligned in perpendicular relation relative to the second bracket section along the bracket bend; \n a first slit and a second slit defined along the second bracket section, the first slit defined along a first lateral side of the second bracket section and the second slit defined along a second lateral side of the second bracket section opposite the first slit, the first slit defining a first width and a second width greater than the first width; and \n a plurality of linear sides defined along a periphery of the first bracket section, the plurality of linear sides including a first linear side extending orthogonally from the first lateral side of the second bracket section and a second linear side in communication with the first linear side at a corner of the first bracket section, the second linear side angled inwardly relative to the corner and oriented away from the first lateral side, \n wherein the bracket is configured to frictionally connect with a joist such that the first bracket section is aligned between opposing flanges of the joist and the first slit and the second slit of the bracket receive opposing returns of the joist.
