1. A connecting member for construction
materials, which connects two construction materials arranged with an interval therebetween, the connecting member comprising a connecting part including a first end portion reaching a locked member arranged in one construction material of the two construction materials such that a thickness direction of the one construction material, which is perpendicular to a direction of the interval, is an axial direction, and a second end portion reaching the other construction material of the two construction materials,
wherein the second end portion is formed to have a torsion angle as an inclination angle to a direction perpendicular to the axial direction of the locked member, and
when the second end portion is coupled with the other construction material and the torsion angle of the second end portion reduces or disappears, a torsion angle as an inclination angle to a direction perpendicular to the axial direction can be generated in the first end portion, and the first end portion locks on the locked member due to the generation of the torsion angle of the first end portion, thereby connecting the two construction materials.
