Abstract
A generally rectangular transition plate for connecting inclined and horizontal chords of a mine roof truss has one face defining a generally flat planar plate bearing surface adapted to be closely received against a mine roof. The sides and one end of the plate are bent outwardly from the one face. A first opening in the plate adjacent the one end is adapted to receive a mine roof bolt. A second opening in the plate is located adjacent the other end of the plate. A saddle portion extends between the other end of the plate and the second opening and is adapted to receive a truss tie member. The plate has a low profile and sufficient rigidity to sustain the forces present in the truss.
