Abstract (en)
A connector (1) for securing a rafter (2) of a roof structure to a wall plate (4) thereof comprises a first component (5) of 'U'-shaped form for mounting on the rafter (2), a pair of identical second components (6) of 'L'-shaped form for mounting on the wall plate (4), and rivets (7) for interconnecting the components (5) and (6) in an articulated manner. Use of the connector (1) avoids the need for forming a 'V'-shaped slot or "bird's mouth" in the rafter (2), a task demanding considerable skill, even from an experienced joiner. Other forms of connectors, some for securing other roof structure members, are also disclosed.
