Abstract
A rafter assembly is provided for joining each adjacent pair of trusses by linkage members that precisely define the predetermined spacing required between the trusses, support the trusses against relative motion apart, and include integral truss penetrating projections for initial attachment and conventional fastener alignment means for accommodating permanent connection fasteners. Further, the linkage members are configured and mountable on the trusses so as to provide no interference with the attachment of the structural members creating the roof surface.
