Abstract

A connector plate assembly for joining wooden structural members is disclosed. The plate assembly includes a pair of plate members, each of which is provided with a plurality of teeth extending outwardly therefrom and with slots for receiving teeth from the other plate member. These slots are so arranged as to allow the two plate members to be aligned in face to face contact, with teeth extending from each plate member through slots in the other plate member. The teeth thus project from opposite sides of the plate assembly for embedment in the structural members to be joined.
