Abstract

A truss system includes: an upper and lower angle assembly, each having vertical legs; a plurality of interconnecting members; a plurality of web members, each web member having: an upper free end configured to attach to the upper angle assembly between adjacent vertical legs; a lower free end configured to attach to the lower angle assembly between adjacent vertical legs; and an angled interconnecting web piece disposed between the upper free end and the lower free end; and wherein both the upper and lower free ends include: a first set of bolt holes for attachment to a respective one of the upper angle assembly and lower angle assembly; and a second set of bolt holes for attachment to an end of an associated interconnecting member.

Claims (49)

1 . A truss system, comprising:

an upper and a lower angle assembly, each having vertical legs;

a plurality of interconnecting members; and

a plurality of web members, each web member having:

an upper free end configured to attach to the upper angle assembly between adjacent vertical legs;

a lower free end configured to attach to the lower angle assembly between adjacent vertical legs; and

an angled interconnecting web piece disposed between the upper free end and the lower free end; and

wherein both the upper and lower free ends include:

a first set of bolt holes arranged along an outer facing edge for attachment to a respective one of the upper angle assembly and lower angle assembly; and

a second set of bolt holes arranged along an angled edge that is angled at an angle α with respect to the outward facing edge for attachment to an end of an associated interconnecting member.

2 . The truss system of claim 1 , wherein both the upper and lower free ends further include:

an inward facing edge substantially opposed to the outward facing edge; and

a second angled edge disposed between the angled edge and the inward facing edge.

3 . The truss system of claim 2 , wherein the angled edge and second angled edge are substantially perpendicular.

4 . The truss system of claim 1 , wherein each interconnecting member is configured to attach to the upper free end and the lower free end of adjacent web members.

5 . The truss system of claim 1 , wherein the first set of bolt holes are configured along a substantially straight line.

6 . The truss system of claim 1 , wherein each interconnecting member is attachable to an associated web member at an angle that is substantially equal to α.

7 . The truss system of claim 1 , further comprising a bridge web, comprising:

a left free end;

a right free end; and

a central web piece connected to the left free end and right free end via a pair of angled interconnecting pieces;

wherein the left and right free ends each include:

a bridge outward facing horizontal edge having a third set of bolt holes for attachment to one of the upper angle assembly or lower angle assembly; and

a bridge angled edge, angled with respect to the bridge outward facing horizontal edge and having a fourth set of bolt holes for attachment to a further angled interconnecting member.

8 . The truss system of claim 7 , wherein the fourth set of bolt holes are aligned with the bridge angled edge.

9 . A truss system, comprising:

an upper angle assembly;

a lower angle assembly;

a plurality of web members, each web member formed as a single unitary component having:

an upper free end configured to attach to the upper angle assembly;

a lower free end configured to attach to the lower angle assembly at an offset position relative to the upper free end between the upper angle assembly and lower angle assembly; and

an angled interconnecting web piece formed with and between the upper free end and the lower free end;

wherein both the upper and lower free ends each include a first set of bolt holes and a second set of bolt holes, the first set of bolt holes configured for attachment to one of the upper or lower angle assemblies; and

a plurality of interconnecting members, wherein each interconnecting member is configured to attach to an upper free end and a lower free end in a pair of adjacent web members via the second set of bolt holes;

wherein each of the upper and lower free ends include an outward facing horizontal edge and an angled edge angled with respect to the outward facing horizontal edge; and

wherein the first set of bolt holes are aligned along the outward facing horizontal edge, and the second set of bolt holes are aligned along the angled edge.

10 . A truss system, comprising:

an upper angle assembly;

a lower angle assembly;

a plurality of interconnecting members that extend between the upper and lower angle assemblies; and

at least one bridge web having:

a left free end;

a right free end; and

a central web piece connected to the left free end and right free end via a pair of angled interconnecting web pieces;

wherein the left and right free ends each include a first set of bolt holes and a second set of bolt holes, the first set of bolt holes in both the left and right free ends configured for attachment to one of the upper or lower angle assemblies; and

wherein the second set of bolt holes in the left and right free ends are each configured for attachment to an associated interconnecting member.

11 . The truss system of claim 10 , wherein each of the left and right free ends include an outward facing horizontal edge and an angled edge angled with respect to the outward facing horizontal edge.

12 . The truss system of claim 11 , wherein the first set of bolt holes are aligned along the outward facing horizontal edge, and the second set of bolt holes are aligned along the angled edge.

13 . The truss system of claim 10 , wherein the central web piece includes a third set of bolt holes positioned along an opposed outward facing horizontal edge.
