ABSTRACT:
A brace member that braces structural members against movement in an environment where a pair of structural members are joined together and orthogonally disposed with respect to one another. The brace member has two parts that are telescopically coupled together and which are selectively lockable in a plurality of positions of longitudinal and rotational adjustment. Each part includes a tubular section and a flattened section which are bendable relative to one another along a folding line. The flattened ends of the brace members overlie and are fastened to any preselected surface of a structural member to be braced. The tubular parts are lockable to one another in two positions of rotational adjustment that are disposed circumferentially ninety degrees from one another so that the flattened parts may selectively overlie preselected surfaces of said structural members that are coplanar or disposed at right angles to one another.
