ABSTRACT:
This invention relates to a construction fastener and more specifically to a clamp or clip for securing a horizontally extending channel to another hoizontally or vertically extending construction element of miscellaneous configuration. The fastener is formed from a strip of resilient metal or spring steel and at least one end includes a notched portion for engaging a horizontally extending channel. The notched portion is oriented with respect to the horizontal channel such that the longitudinal planar surface of the notched portion is normal to the horizontal axis of the channel. The notched portion includes a cam-like spring tab adapted to spring out of the way and to snap back and lock behind the channel when the channel is inserted into the notched portion. The opposite end of the fastener, which may be engaged or disengaged with or without the channel in the notched portion, may comprise a wire or rod receiving notched portion or it may comprise one of a variety of forms capable of engaging vertically or horizontally extending construction elements of miscellaneous configuration.
