ABSTRACT:
A wedgelock laminated joint is an integral building connection allowing the rapid, accurate, secure jointing of a structural joist with a vertical post. A lock notch is mated by sliding a joist beam tongue through a central receptacle within a post beam until tightly mated, and then secured by placing a wedge into a keyway, which is an upper portion of the post receptacle, and tapping it snugly into the wedge keyway. This creates a sturdy nail free fastening of the floor joist and vertical wall post, easily fastened or unfastened, held fast only by the wedge which is finally secured with a set screw after all the desired number of rib sections are erected, trued and horizontally connected.
