Abstract
A tying device for tying wooden plate members, or the like, to masonry and concrete structures, including walls, floors, roofs, beams and foundations constructed of either masonry or concrete, the tying device being formed from a flat strip of bendable sheet metal stock, such as sheet metal, or the like having a part which provides an anchor portion for anchoring the tying member to a masonry or concrete structure and having another part which is slit lengthwise of the flat strip of metal stock to provide a pair of bendable tying arms which may be bent around the sides and over a portion of the top of a wooden plate member, or the like, to which the bendable tying arms may be attached by fastening means, such as nails. The tying device includes limiting or stop means for limiting the extent or degree to which the bendable tying arms may be spread relative to each other on opposite sides of the anchor portion and to assure proper positioning of the bendable tying arms relative to each other and relative to the wooden plate member or the like to which they are attached in use.
