Abstract
A stud bracket is provided and adapted to be secured to a stud in a wall structure. The stud bracket includes a stud receiver having a pair of spaced apart members that define a stud receiving area. In use, a respective stud is inserted into the stud receiving area and the stud receiver is secured to the stud. Extending outwardly from the bracket, on each side, is a holder for receiving and holding an end portion of a reinforcing member. When a series of brackets are secured to a series of studs in a wall structure, a series of reinforcing members are provided in the wall structure with each reinforcing member being supported on one end portion by a holder associated with one bracket, and on the other end portion by another holder associated with another bracket. Hence, when used, the stud brackets support a series of reinforcing members that extend generally between pairs of respective studs of a wall structure.
