   I don't know the name of them, but when I was building Lindal Cedar Homes......they never left room for windows and sent out brackets..maybe 3/16 thick x 3 wide x 8 long bent in the middle at 90 degrees......

   they bolted to the post (same as king stud) and carried the header. This always passed inspection.

   don't just take my word for it check with your local yokel inspector......but Lindal is a national company so they usually are good anywheres.

   Simpson's is called a "header hanger" and is listed as HH4 or HH6. 

   They work good, but you have to remember they're in there when you start shooting nails at your casing...
