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 1):
A metal truss assembly, comprising:\n a plurality of C-shape structural members including at least one upper chord member, at least one lower chord member and a plurality of web members connected between the upper and lower chord members; each chord member having a chord base, two opposing chord flanges and a chord width, and each web member having a web base, two opposing web flanges and a web width; each chord base being 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 opposing chord flanges extend from each chord base, one of the two opposing chord flanges having a plurality of cutouts, 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; 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 a plurality of fasteners in each cope, spaced around each alignment hole and extending through the web base and chord base at each cope for connecting the chord members to the web members.
