A bracket apparatus for attachment of a structural support, such as a truss, receives a pin in the form of a bolt which extends laterally through side edges of chord members of the support and a hole in a web member. The bracket apparatus includes two cooperating bracket members each including an upper plate portion, an internal tab portion, and external flange portion which extends in the same direction as the tab portion generally perpendicular from the upper plate portion. The tab portion and flange portion include holes which receive the pin extending laterally through the chord member. The bracket apparatus provides additional support to the pin in providing additional bearing surfaces in the form of the inner surface of the holes in the tab portion and external portion and thus reduces the amount of pin bending. Accordingly, lower grade steel can be used in the pin or a higher reaction load can be carried by the truss for a given pin.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION Accordingly, it is one object of the present invention to enable open web type structural support members, such as trusses, to carry a greater load.
Another object of the present invention is to provide an improved truss bracket apparatus which reduces the amount of pin bending.
A further object of the present invention is to provide such a bracket apparatus which eliminates the need to notch the support wall bearing plate to provide clearance for the end web members.
An additional object is to provide a bracket apparatus which acts together with the chord member to more effectively transfer the load to the wall bearing plate.
A still further object of the present invention is to provide a bracket apparatus for a truss which is easy to manufacture and install.
These and other objects, advantages and features of the present invention will be better understood by the following detailed description of preferred embodiments which thereof proceed with reference to the accompanying drawings.
