Iron adjustable truss hoop for setting hoops on coopered containers. An iron strap has end riveted to forged fixtures with right angle bends at their ends. A threaded bolt at the end of a forged crank is inserted through one vertical and screws into a tapped hole in the second. Thus the hoop is tightened or loosened by turning the crank.
