  • Method and apparatus for slip-connector structural joint
    Patent number: 4433524
    Abstract: Method and apparatus for slip-connector structural joint which joins a horizontal beam and a vertical stud of a structure, such as a commercial building. A plate spans the beam and stud and is attached to the beam and has an opening therein which snugly receives an edge of the stud which is generally channel-shaped, and the connection with the stud permits a vertical slip joint. Thus, the stud is retained against lateral movement while vertical movement is available to present the desired slip joint.
