ABSTRACT:
A concealed fastener arrangement useful in attaching a succession of profiled panel members to spaced-apart structural elements of a building framework to provide roof or wall structures. The arrangement includes repeating series of fixed and movable clip means secured to the structural elements in predetermined pattern. Adjacent ones of the fixed clip means are spaced-apart at a selected modular width corresponding to the desired panel coverage width. Plural movable clip means are presented between adjacent fixed clip means, and are capable of limited movement longitudinally of the structural elements. When assembled in side-by-side overlapped relation, the panel members present downwardly opening, longitudinal ribs including joint ribs formed by overlapping the complimentary male and female partial ribs of adjacent panel members. The fixed and movable clip means are received within the longitudinal ribs and connect the panel members to the structural elements. The concealed fastener arrangement is such that during installation, the manufactured width of the panel members--if different from the modular width--is conformed with the modular width by transverse expansion or contraction of the panel member. The movable clip means move into centered relation with the associated ribs thereby relieving any stresses which may have been created during forced expansion or contraction of the panel member.
