Adjustable joist hanger

A joist hanger comprising, in combination:

• (a) a body including an elongated flat member;
• (b) a lip projecting perpendicularly from the face of said member in a first direction at one end thereof;
• (c) a pair of side walls projecting from said flat member in the opposite direction and mutually spaced by the thickness of a joist;
• (d) joist supporting means carried by said walls at the end of said body remote from said lip;
• (e) a bracket having a threaded aperture;
• (f) an externally threaded member received in said aperture;
• (g) and means including a keyhole slot connection for removably mounting said bracket to said body so that the axis of said threaded aperture is perpendicular to said lip.

A joist hanger for use in the construction of bridge decks and the like comprising:

• (a) a body comprising first and second wall members connected in spaced relation to define a channel therebetween, said body being capable of orientation with the channel generally vertically disposed so that one end of a substantially horizontal joist may be received on edge within the channel;
• (b) said channel being open at the upper end thereof to permit the joist to be positioned with its upper edge elevated from said body, whereby a plurality of similarly arranged joists may together define a horizontal plane upon which a bridge deck or the like may be constructed;
• (c) support means associated with the body for permitting the body to be suspended from a substantially horizontal support surface, the support means comprising a substantially flat lip projecting transversely of said body and disposed proximate its upper end, the lip being substantially flat and defining sides that converge over their entire projecting length in a direction away from the body;
• (d) adjustment means removably carried by the body for supporting a joist on edge in the channel, and for adjustably raising and lowering the joist within the channel, whereby the joist may be adjustably elevated to said horizontal plane;
• (e) and clamping means carried by the body for cooperating with the support means to clamp the joist hanger to an object such as the flange of a steel beam.
