Abstract (en)
[origin: WO02095153A1] The invention provides a connector (10) for connecting two lengths of timber brandering (36 and 38) end-to-end in a roofing structure. The connector (10) comprises an elongate, hollow sleeve (12) which is sized and shaped to receive a length of timber brandering (36 or 38) of generally square cross section at each longitudinal end (28 and 30) thereof, and which includes a pair of inwardly directed gripping formations (20 and 22) for gripping brandering of various different cross-sectional dimensions within a predetermined tolerance by engaging or deforming the brandering. A web or flap (34) is provided approximately midway along the length of the sleeve (12) for limiting the extent to which brandering may be inserted into the sleeve from each longitudinal end (28 and 30) thereof. The sleeve (12) also includes two apertures (44) for allowing the brandering to be locked in position within the sleeve with locking pins or nails (45).
