  • Patent number: 6971635
    Abstract: A deck board setting assembly includes a bracket assembly having a channel therein for removably receiving an upper edge of a deck stud. The bracket assembly has a forward side and a rearward side. A pivot rod is rotatably coupled to and extends away from the bracket assembly. The pivot rod is orientated perpendicular to the channel. A lever assembly is pivotally attached to the pivot rod. The lever assembly is selectively rotated in a first direction forward of the bracket assembly or in a second direction rearward of the bracket assembly. A locking assembly is attached to the lever assembly and the bracket assembly for selectively preventing rotation of the lever assembly in the second direction. The lever assembly may be rotated in the first direction such that the lever assembly abuts a loose horizontal board and urges the loose horizontal board away from the bracket assembly.
