  • Publication number: 20040237443
    Abstract: A series of brackets that are inexpensively cut and bent from sheet metal in a stamping process, and are used as an aid in construction projects. The brackets are designed for support and alignment of wall panels; wallboards or lap boards while the same are being positioned for attachment to the structure. These fixtures are configured to align with the support structure, automatically aligning the wall panel, wallboards, or lap boards to be attached, and continuing to support and align the boards during and after attachment. The brackets are inexpensive to manufacture and can remain on the structure, thereby providing continual support and alignment. Ledge portions with bent up outer corner points engage and support the wall members.
