ABSTRACT:
Brackets for interconnecting building components. One bracket embodiment is constructed to connect a pair of substantially perpendicular building components so as to allow relative vertical movement between those components and may include a first connector plate and a second connector plate. The first and second connector plates may be integrally connected at a right angle so as to form a right angled juncture. A plurality of stiffener channels may be disposed in the right angle juncture. The bracket may further include a plurality of substantially linear stiffener channels formed in the first connector plate. One or more elongated slots may be provided in the second connector plate. In another embodiment, one or more rows of holes are provided in the connector plate. The elongated slots or rows of holes may be located in one or more recessed stiffener regions. A score line and/or dimples may be provided in the first connector plate for locating fasteners.
