Abstract
A truss hinge that allows hinging between truss parts, and also allows configuration into a different size.
Claims12
A method of hinging trusses, comprising:
- connecting a first truss to a first part via first connections that hold to both first and second ends of said first truss;
- connecting a second truss to a second part via second connections that hold to first and second ends of said second truss;
- adjusting a distance between spaces on said first part and said second part, in order to accommodate a truss that is a first size for a first adjustment of distance and to accommodate a truss that is a second size for a second adjustment of distance;
- and
- hinging between said first part and said second part to thereby adjust an angle between said first truss and said second truss.

A truss hinge, comprising:
- connecting a first connecting part to a first truss that is of a type to hold hanging equipment, where said first truss has both first and second support pieces and where said first connecting part forms a first hinging point between said truss hinge and said first truss;
- connecting a second connecting part to a second truss separate from the first truss and of a same type as the first truss, said second connecting part forming a second hinging point between said truss hinge and said second truss;
- hinging said first hinging point in a first rotational direction between said first connecting part and said first truss;
- and
- hinging said second hinging point in a second rotational direction, opposite to said first rotational direction, between said first connecting part and said second truss.
