Abstract: A jointing device for joining elongate members in a building structure includes a first body section, a second body section, and a connection portion interconnecting the first and second body sections. Each body section has at least one flange portion for fixing to one elongate member. The body sections and the connection portion are formed from a single blank of sheet material with foldlines arranged for bending thereabout to form the at least one flange portion of each of the body sections and a further foldline forming the connection portion. The connection portion is arranged so that the body sections are positionable relative to each other for selectively adjusting angle therebetween to correspond to a roof pitch of the building structure, the roof pitch being within a range of roof pitches.

Abstract: Provided is a jointing device (10) for joining elongate members (102, 104, 106, 108) in a building structure (100). The device (10) includes a first body section (12), a second body section (14), and a connection portion (16) interconnecting the first and second body sections (12, 14), each said body section (12, 14) having at least one flange portion (22, 24) for fixing to one elongate member (102, 104, 106, 108). The body sections (12, 14) and the connection portion (16) are formed from a single blank of a sheet material with foldlines arranged for bending thereabout to form the at least one flange portion (22, 24) of each of said body sections (12, 14) and a further foldline (16) forming the connection portion. The connection portion is arranged so that the first and second body sections (12, 14) are positionable relative to each other for selectively adjusting angle therebetween to correspond to a roof pitch of the building structure, the roof pitch being within a range of roof pitches.

Abstract: A jointing device (10) is provided for joining elongate members (106, 110), and 108, 112) in a building (100). The device (10) is formed form a blank (11) of sheet material and comprises a gusset portion (12) and spaced flange portion (14 and 16) each extending from an edge of the gusset portion (12) and forming a cavity there between. The device (10) further comprises a first opening (24) arranged adjacent to one end of the gusset portion and in communication with the cavity and a second opening (26) arranged adjacent to the opposite end of the gusset portion and in communication with the cavity. In use, one elongate member (106) is positioned in the cavity through the first opening (24) and a second elongate member (110) is positioned in the cavity through the second opening (26) for joining by fixing to the jointing device (10). The blank (11) has foldlines (70) and the blank (11) is configured with sections bendable along the foldlines to form the gusset portion (12) and the flange portions (14 and 16).
