Abstract: A mounting clamp for joining wooden parts to one another and to the foundation is used particularly for joining boards of outdoor balcony and deck covers. A rectangular, preferably square bottom plate is provided, and two vertical webs which are stamped out of the bottom plate in opposite directions in a U-shaped manner and are vertically bent are provided at a short distance next to each other in the center of the bottom plate relative to the width thereof. Each web supports a vertically projecting nail in the center, the nails extending in opposite directions.

Abstract: A fixing bracket is described for joining wooden building components to each other and to a substrate, particularly of the kind used for joining boards used to cover balconies and decks outdoors. It is essential that the fixing bracket is a double angle consisting of two L-sections (2, 2?), having a double web (5) consisting of two section legs (3, 3?), whereby a fixing hole (9, 9?) is provided in the angle flanges (8, 8?). In an advantageous manner, the tongue-shaped spikes (6, 6?) are arranged near the upper edge of the web and are cut directly out of the web and bent out perpendicularly from the web.
