A truss shoe for use on a mine roof truss having at least one inclined
bolt and at least one horizontal cross member comprises a base including
a first end, a second end, a first side and a second side extending
between the first and second ends, a generally planar bearing surface,
and a top side disposed opposite the bearing surface, the bearing surface
arranged for contact with the mine roof. A stanchion is formed on the top
side and includes a bore extending from a top end of the stanchion
through the bearing surface, the bore sized to receive the inclined bolt.
A bracket is formed on the top side and includes a laterally extending
slotted bore sized to receive the horizontal bolt. A portion of the first
end and a portion of the first side cooperate to form a curved edge.
