Abstract
A bracket formed singly, or in an interconnected row in strip form, which is positioned between adjacent logs in a stack to stabilize the stack, the bracket having a generally flat base for nailing upon the lower log and four depending projections to grip same in several positions, said projections being arranged in pairs with the projections of each pair being symmetrical about the mid point of the base, and upstanding and outwardly diverging arms from opposite ends of the base for supporting the upper log and having claws for gripping same.
Claims14
A bracket for interconnecting adjacent logs in a stack of logs to stabilise stack, comprising a generally flat base for fastening upon a log, four depending projections arranged in pairs, the projections of each of said pairs being substantially symmetrically disposed about the mid point of the base for gripping of said log in any one of a plurality of relative angular dispositions between said base and said log, a pair of spaced support arms upstanding from opposite parts of the base to accommodate an upper adjacent log therebetween, means for reinforcing said support arms which includes lateral upstanding ribbing extending along said base and part way along said arms, and serrations on said ribbing facilitating gripping of said arms to said adjacent log.
