Abstract:
A relatively flat sheet metal structural web member for interconnecting a pair of generally parallel spaced-apart chord members to form a floor truss or the like. The web member is generally V-shaped, comprising first and second legs integrally joined at one of their respective ends, and a plurality of teeth struck from opposite ends of the legs for being driven into the chord members. The side margins of each leg are bent to form inner and outer flanges extending longitudinally of the leg at opposite sides of the leg. The outer flange has opposite end portions, one of which terminates in an edge formed for abutting along substantially its entire length against one of the chord members. The inner flange also has opposite end portions, one of which terminates in an edge formed for abutting along substantially its entire length against the other chord member.
