Benefits of technology
[0008] It is an object of the present invention to provide an improved roof-to-wall bracket designed to withstand high wind conditions that is also relatively inexpensive to manufacture.
[0010] Optional gussets may be formed on the outside surfaces of the corners between the wall flange member and the wall transverse member for additional strength.
Problems solved by technology
Unfortunately, such brackets commonly fail during high wind conditions thereby destroying the entire roof along with many items located inside the building.

Embodiment Construction
)
[0016] As shown in the accompanying Figs. is a roof-to-wall bracket 10 designed to provide additional strength and support between the roof rafter 5 and the top sill plate 7 on the studded wall of a building. The bracket 10 includes two downward, extending, perpendicularly aligned wall flange members 20, 30 integrally formed on the opposite ends of a wall transverse member 40. Extending upward and perpendicularly aligned with the transverse member 40 and the two wall flange members 20, 30 are two parallel rafter flange members 50, 60. The rafter flange members 50, 60 are integrally formed on the opposite sides of the wall transverse member 40 and spaced apart to receive a single 2×4 or double 2×4 rafter. Disposed adjacent to the inside surfaces 21, 31 of the two wall flange members 20, 30 and the inside surface 41 of the wall transverse member 40 are two L-shaped secondary angle members 70, 75. The secondary angle members 70, 75 are longitudinally aligned with the wall transverse m...

A strengthened, inexpensive roof-to-wall bracket that includes two perpendicularly aligned wall flange members, integrally formed on a wall transverse member, and two perpendicularly aligned rafter flange members integrally formed on the wall transverse member. Disposed under the corners between the two wall flange members and the wall transverse member is and L-shaped secondary angle member. In the preferred embodiment, the L-shaped angle member formed by cutting a square or rectangular cutout in the adjoining wall flange member and then bending the waste material upward to form the angle member. The angle member is disposed along the corners and along the adjoining inside surfaces of the wall flange member and the wall transverse member. Optional welds may be used to physically connect the angle member to the inside surfaces of the wall flange and wall transverse member. Optional gussets may be formed on the corners between the wall flange surface and the wall transverse member for added strength.
Description
[0001] This utility patent application is based on the provisional patent application (Ser. No. 60 / 536,687) filed on Jan. 15, 2004.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0002] 1. Field of the Invention [0003] The present invention relates to the field of building brackets, and more particularly to brackets that connect a building's roof structural members to its wall structures. [0004] 2. Description of the Related Art [0005] The roof on a house is made of a plurality of trusses suspended between vertical walls. On a pitch roof, each truss is typically made of two diagonally aligned rafters attached together at their upper ends. The lower distal ends of the rafters are attached to the top sill plates on the vertical walls. A ceiling joist may extend horizontally between the two vertical walls and interconnect the distal ends of the rafter located on opposite sides of the building. [0006] Heretofore, brackets have been used to connect the distal ends of the rafters to the top sill plates on th...
