A brace assembly comprising:
- a structural member comprising a sidewall;
- and
- a bracket comprising:
- a baseplate defining a narrowing slot extending from an open end to a closed end, at least one baseplate hinge hole extending through the baseplate at the open end;
- a clamp comprising a jaw member and a tightening member, the jaw member and the tightening member engaging the sidewall to couple the structural member to the bracket, the jaw member defining a clamp hinge hole;
- and
- a hinge pin extending across the open end and engaging the at least one baseplate hinge hole and the clamp hinge hole.
A brace assembly comprising:
- a structural member comprising a sidewall;
- and
- a bracket comprising:
- a baseplate defining an upper surface and a lower surface, the baseplate defining a slot narrowing from the upper surface to the lower surface and extending from an open end to a closed end of the baseplate, the baseplate defining at least one baseplate hinge hole at the open end;
- a clamp comprising a jaw member and a tightening member, the jaw member and the tightening member engaging the sidewall to couple the structural member to the bracket, the jaw member defining a clamp hinge hole;
- and
- a hinge pin engaging the at least one baseplate hinge hole and the clamp hinge hole.
A brace assembly comprising:
- a structural member comprising a sidewall;
- and
- a bracket comprising:
- a baseplate defining a slot extending from an open end to a closed end, the baseplate defining at least one baseplate hinge hole at the open end, the baseplate defines a countersink recessed into an upper surface of the baseplate, and the slot:
- defining a rounded slot end where the slot terminates at the closed end of the baseplate;
- the rounded slot end defines an axis;
- and
- the countersink is coaxially centered with the rounded slot end about the axis;
- a clamp comprising a jaw member and a tightening member, the jaw member and the tightening member engaging the sidewall to couple the structural member to the bracket, the jaw member defining a clamp hinge hole;
- and
- a hinge pin engaging the at least one baseplate hinge hole and the clamp hinge hole.
