Abstract (en)

In a stud wall construction, a U-shaped bracket (R) is fixed within a horizontal channel member (C) and has, at its outer ends, a pair of flanges (13, 15) formed with pockets which receive the inturned flanges (M) of a channel-section upright stud (S): the horizontal channel member (C) is free to move vertically relative to the stud (S) but the stud is restrained against moving sideways; because the sides of the bracket, between its base (10) and its flanges (13, 15), are fixed to the opposite sides of the channel member (C), the bracket effectively secures the two sides of the channel member against sideways deflection. <IMAGE>
