Abstract
Abstract A support member including a first flange mounted to a second flange at an orthogonal angle, with the second flange mounted to a third flange at an included acute angle therebetween. The third flange mounted to a fourth flange defining a second acute angle therebetween, with the fifth flange mounted to the fourth flange at an orthogonal orientation thereto to frictionally clamp a building stud between a fifth, fourth, and third flange defining a "C" shaped clamping structure. An aperture is directed through the first flange to pivotally mount the organization relative to an underlying support, wherein the first flange at an intersection of the third and fourth flanges are arranged in a coplanar orientation relative to one another.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
137 words
A building stud support, comprising, a serpentine bracket member, including a first planar flange plate, and a second planar flange plate integrally mounted to the first planar flange plate at a first junction line, and the second flange plate fixedly and integrally mounted to a third flange plate at a second junction line, and the third flange plate extending downwardly relative to the second flange plate defining a first acute angle therebetween, and the third flange plate integrally mounted to a fourth flange plate at a third junction line, and the fourth flange plate fixedly and integrally mounted to a fifth flange plate defining an orthogonal relationship therebetween, wherein the fifth flange plate extends over the third flange plate and defines a "C" shaped cavity within the fifth flange plate, fourth flange plate, and third flange plate.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
137 words
A building stud support, comprising, a serpentine bracket member, including a first planar flange plate, and a second planar flange plate integrally mounted to the first planar flange plate at a first junction line, and the second flange plate fixedly and integrally mounted to a third flange plate at a second junction line, and the third flange plate extending downwardly relative to the second flange plate defining a first acute angle therebetween, and the third flange plate integrally mounted to a fourth flange plate at a third junction line, and the fourth flange plate fixedly and integrally mounted to a fifth flange plate defining an orthogonal relationship therebetween, wherein the fifth flange plate extends over the third flange plate and defines a "C" shaped cavity within the fifth flange plate, fourth flange plate, and third flange plate.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
45 words
An apparatus as set forth in claim 1 wherein the third flange plate includes a polymeric flexible sheet member fixedly mounted to a top surface of the third flange plate to provide frictional engagement of a building stud member mounted within the "C" shaped cavity.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
34 words
An apparatus as set forth in claim 2 wherein the first junction line, the second junction line, the third junction line, and the fourth junction line are each arranged parallel relative to one another.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
28 words
An apparatus as set forth in claim 3 wherein a bottom surface of the first flange plate and the third junction line are arranged in a single plane.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
52 words
An apparatus as set forth in claim 4 wherein the first flange plate includes a through-extending aperture directed therethrough, wherein the through-extending aperture receives a fastener therethrough, and an underlying support, wherein the through-extending fastener is projected into the underlying support to permit pivotment of the first flange plate about the fastener.
