ABSTRACT:
A connector plate for joining, in a biased manner, structural members of a building and including first and second plates in overlapped relationship with each plate adapted for individual securement to a structural member being joined. A tapered insert serves to impart tension to at least one of the plates so as to draw the attached structural member toward the remaining member. Supplemental tensioning members engage misaligned openings in the plates to further tension one of the plates.
