Two-part clamp for connecting intersecting I-beams

A method for locating two clamping assemblies at each side of a mobile dwelling undercarriage I-beam and onto an intersectingly smaller support I-beam, said smaller beam containing end opposed stanchions, said method comprising tightly securing said oppositely disposed assemblies to the upper flange of said smaller beam such that a lip protruding from each of said assemblies impends over and is parallel to the lower flange of said interposing undercarriage beam, wherein each of said assemblies, being identical, is defined by:

• a rigid rectangular two-part connector consisting of:
• a first part being a flat plate member having a contiguous L-shaped lip that extends first vertically upward while terminating horizontally away from said palte and situated at one end of said plate, disposed clockwise to said lip and at a right-planar angle thereto a second integrally and downwardly curved lip arrangement, and at a counter-clockwise right-planar angle to said L-shaped lip there is further situated a vertically upturned end of said plate wherein two apertures are intermediately situated;
• a second part being a L-shaped bracket having a horizontally flat surface while contiguously depending from said surface member is an upturned ridge containing two intermediately disposed apertures mattingly commensurate to cooperate with said plate apertures;
• and
• a pair of bolts, washers, and nuts suitable to tightly fasten each of said plates to each of said brackets through their common apertures.
