Abstract:
A bracket is disclosed. The bracket is coupled to a joist by rotating the bracket relative to the joist until the longitudinal axis of the bracket is aligned in parallel orientation with the longitudinal axis of the joist to achieve a snap-in engagement. The bracket includes a first bracket section having a first lateral wing and an opposite second lateral wing extending outwardly from a base of the first bracket section and a second bracket section that is aligned in perpendicular orientation relative to the first bracket section. The first lateral wing is configured to flex relative to the base, and the second lateral wing is configured to flex relative to the base during engagement of the bracket to a joist.

Claim (Index 18):
A method for interlocking framing components comprising:\n providing a joist comprising a web in communication with a first joist flange and an opposite second joist flange that collectively define a joist interior portion; inserting a bracket within the joist interior portion at an angle relative to a longitudinal axis of the joist, the bracket comprising a first bracket section in communication with a second bracket section and a bracket bend defined between the first and second bracket sections, the first bracket section defining a base, a first lateral wing, and an opposing second lateral wing extending outwardly from opposite sides of the base; and positioning the base of the first bracket section along the web of the joist such that the first lateral wing contacts the first joist flange and the second lateral wing contacts the second joist flange.
