Abstract
A connecting fitting for connecting two construction materials includes a first and second connecting members for connecting the construction materials, and a parallelizing means having a parallelizing function of aligning the connecting members in a first direction and making them parallel or almost parallel to each other. The first direction is a direction perpendicular to both the direction (M) of an interval between the two construction materials and the thickness direction of one construction material. The parallelizing function of the parallelizing means disappears due to a load caused to act on at least one of the connecting members. The inclination angles of the connecting members with respect to the direction (M) of the interval become inclination angles (θ1, θ2) opposite to each other due to the disappearance of the parallelizing function.
