- 9 - SUBFLOOR ANTI-SQUEAK BRACKET AND METHOD OF USING SAME ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE Subfloors often develop squeaks at nail locations due to shrinkage occurring around the nail allowing the floor board or panel to move relative to the nail when weight is applied and released as occurs when a person walks across the floor. The present device consists of a vertically situated bracket plate secured to the joist un- derneath the location of the squeak with a horizontal flan- ge extending therefrom and being secured to the underside of the subfloor by a screw. A spacer portion extends up- wardly perpendicular to the plane of the horizontal flange and engages the underside of the subfloor and acts as an automatic spacer to position the bracket upon installation thereof and allows the subfloor to be pulled against the supporting joist as well as allowing the maintenance of continuous pressure from the screw attached through the horizontal flange.
