ABSTRACT:
A connection in wood frame construction such as in frame walls of homes, wood framed apartment buildings and light wood framed commercial buildings. Specifically, the disclosure describes a pair of connectors for joining wood studs to a wood single base plate and to a wood double top plate for framing a wall. The two connectors used in the connection are identical and include a stud member for connection to the edge face of the stud, a plate member for connection to the edge face of the respective plates and a transition member connected at one end to the stud member and the other end is connected to the plate member. A pair of tabs connected to opposite side edges of the transition member engage the sides of the stud and a pair of prong locators serve the dual purpose of locating the connector at the lower end of the stud in relation to the base plate and for temporary and permanent attachment of the connector attached to the upper end of the stud to the top plate.
