ABSTRACT:
A truss comprises a pair of spaced, longitudinally-extending bars (or only one such bar), and a plurality of transversely-extending, or diagonal, bars occupying a common plane. One longitudinally-extending bar is disposed in a plane laterally spaced from the common plane on one side thereof, and the other logitudinally-extending bar (when included) is disposed in a plane laterally spaced from the common plane on the opposite side thereof. Such a structure permits a plurality of the trusses to be stored or transported in nesting relationship in order to occupy a minimum volume, and also permits each truss to serve as a modular element enabling any desired number of them to be secured together in building a structural framework of the desired configuration and strength.
