(54) Angle bracket for fastening a first construction element to a second construction element and method for producing an angle bracket


(57) Angle bracket (1) for joining a first construction element (30) to a second construction element (31). The angle bracket (1) comprises a first leg (2) placed in a first plane. Said first leg (2) has a first free end part (4), a first side rib (7), and a second side rib (8). Moreover, the angle bracket (1) comprises a second leg (3) placed in a second plane. Said second leg has a second free end part (5), a first side rib (9), and a second side rib (10). The first leg (2) and the second leg (3) are arranged essentially perpendicular to each other via a common bending section (6), said common bending section (6) connecting the side ribs of the first (2) and second leg (3). Furthermore, a number of apertures (11, 12, 13) is arranged for receiving means (32) for fastening the first leg (2) of the angle bracket (1) to a first construction element (30) and the second leg (3) of the angle bracket (1) to a second construction element (31). The width of the angle bracket (1) along the axis of the common bending section (6) is smaller than the width of the angle bracket at the free ends (4, 5) of the legs (2, 3). Furthermore, a method for producing an angle bracket (1) is provided.
