Permanent truss tie

A permanent spacing beam comprising;

• a mount end, a retention end, and an elongate portion disposed between the mount end and the retention end;
• the mount end having mount slot, a mount member and a one or more than one support flange, the mount member having a one or more than one first retention aperture, the one or more than one support flange having a lateral 90 degree angle with respect to the elongate portion, the mount member having a vertical 90 degree angle with respect to the elongate portion;
• wherein the mount end is configured to envelop a first truss timber stud in the mount slot, the mount slot being further defined as disposed between the mount member and the one or more than one support flange, the one or more than one first retention aperture being configured to receive a fastener such that the fastener fastens the first truss timber stud to the mount slot;
• the retention end having a retention slot, a one or more than one guide flange, a one or more than one stop flange, and a one or more than one second retention aperture, the each guide flange further having a leading edge and a back stop edge, said retention slot being further defined as disposed between the stop flange and the back stop edge;
• wherein the retention slot is configured to engage with an adjacent truss timber stud, said engagement occurring by:
• (a) applying a force to the first truss timber stud until the leading edge makes a contact with the adjacent truss timber stud,
• (b) said contact causing the leading edge to ride over a portion of the adjacent truss timber stud,
• (c) said ride over of the portion of adjacent truss timber stud causing the stop flange to subsequently contact the adjacent truss timber stud,
• (d) said contact of the adjacent truss timber stud with stop flange resulting in a halt of the force applied to the first truss timber stud,
• (e) said halt of applied force thereby causing the back stop edge and the stop flange to simultaneously traverse down an outer edge and an inner edge of the adjacent truss timber stud,
• the one or more than one second retention aperture being configured to receive the fastener such that the fastener fastens the adjacent truss timber stud to the retention slot.

A permanent spacing beam comprising;

• a mount end, a retention end, and an elongate portion disposed between the mount end and the retention end, the permanent spacing beam being configured for permanent installation in home construction;
• the mount end having mount slot, a mount member and a one or more than one support flange, the mount member having a one or more than one first retention aperture, the one or more than one support flange having a lateral 90 degree angle with respect to the elongate portion, the mount member having a vertical 90 degree angle with respect to the elongate portion;
• wherein the mount end is configured to envelop a first truss timber stud in the mount slot, the mount slot being further defined as disposed between the mount member and the one or more than one support flange, the one or more than one retention aperture being configured to receive a fastener such that the fastener fastens the first truss timber stud to the mount end;
• the retention end having a retention slot, a one or more than one guide flange, a one or more than one stop flange, and a one or more than one second retention aperture, each the guide flange further having a leading edge and a back stop edge, said retention slot being further defined as disposed between the stop flange and the back stop edge;
• wherein the retention slot is configured to engage with an adjacent truss timber stud, said engagement occurring by applying a force to the first truss timber stud until the leading edge makes a contact with the adjacent truss timber, said contact causing the leading edge to ride over a portion of the adjacent truss timber, said ride over of the portion of adjacent truss timber causing the stop flange to subsequently contact the adjacent truss timber, said contact of the adjacent truss timber with stop flange resulting in a halt of the force applied to the first truss timber, said halt of applied force thereby causing the back stop edge and the stop flange to simultaneously traverse down an outer edge and an inner edge of the adjacent truss stud;
• wherein the distance between the mount slot and the retention slot is configured so that a conventional on center framing is maintained;
• the elongate member, the retention end, and the mounting end further having a plurality of utility apertures, said utility apertures configured for the attachment of utilities to the permanent spacing beam and under a roof.
