Abstract

A connecting fitting (20A) for connecting two construction materials includes a first connecting member (21) and a second connecting member (22) for connecting the construction materials, and a parallelizing means (45) having a parallelizing function of aligning the connecting members (21, 22) in a first direction and making them parallel or almost parallel to each other. The first direction is a direction perpendicular to both the direction (M) of an interval between the two construction materials and the thickness direction of one construction material. The parallelizing function of the parallelizing means (45) disappears due to a load caused to act on at least one of the connecting members (21, 22). The inclination angles of the connecting members (21, 22) with respect to the direction (M) of the interval become inclination angles (θ1, θ2) opposite to each other due to the disappearance of the parallelizing function. This makes it possible to effectively perform the work for connecting two construction materials arranged with an interval therebetween even when this interval is small, and render one construction material immobile with respect to the other construction material after the connecting work.
