ABSTRACT:
An improved method and means for attaching a panel of sheet rock or gypsum board to either wooden or metal studs for constructing walls and/or ceilings, etc. The studs are spaced apart from their centers the distance of the width of the panel. The panel is held to the studs by clips having one or more pointed piercing elements adapted to engage the edge of the panel with a holding portion of the clip extending outwardly from the main base portion of the clip and in the opposite direction from the pointed end of the piercing elements, having an aperture through the holding portion for securing the clips to the studs. The clips are further provided with spacer elements extending outwardly on the surface of the clip opposite the panel piercing elements for spacing the edge of the panels outwardly from the studs. This spacing of the panels from the studs will minimize the noises picked up by the panels from being transferred to the studs.
