  • System and components for framing wooden structures
    Patent number: 6694685
    Abstract: Components for constructing wooden frames for structures include top and bottom plates with transverse notches. The notches capture the ends of studs and tongues formed that extend from the ends of posts. The overall plate thickness equals a nominal plate thickness plus depth of the notch. For example, with two-by-fours and two-by-sixes, the actual plate thickness is 1½″ lumber thickness plus ½″ for notch depth. That is, the plate has an actual thickness of 2″.
