CONNECTING TOOL

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To dispense with an exclusive connecting tool according to a mounting position, and to firmly connect a horizontal member to which load is particularly applied to a strut. SOLUTION: The connecting tool includes a connecting tool body 1 and a connector 2. The connecting tool body includes an insertion part 3 to a strut 10, which is protruded downward; an insertion part 4 to a beam 8, which is laterally protruded, and connector mounting parts 5a and 5b provided on at least two side surfaces right-angled to the protruding direction of the insertion part to the beam, on which the connector is mountable. The connector 2 includes a fixing part 7 of connecting parts 6a and 6b to a girder 9a disposed at a right angle to the beam to the connector mounting parts, and at least one connector 2 is mounted on the connector mounting parts 5a and 5b according to the mounting position. The connector 2 can be selectively used to mutually connect the horizontal members at a right angle by fixing the fixing part 7 to a side surface of one horizontal member of the beam 8 and the girder 9a or 9b and inserting the connecting parts 6a and 6b to the other horizontal member.
