ABSTRACT:
The fastener comprises the combination of a gang nail plate and a clip. The plate is driven into the gypsum board panel to attach itself thereto. The clip connects with the plate and extends beyond its side edge. A screw or nail is driven through an aperture in the protruding end of the clip, to secure the panel to a supporting stud.
The gang nail plate is known. It consists of a plate having tangs protruding from the inner face thereof and a slot-forming transverse member protruding from the outer face. The clip is a flat, rectangular, spring steel plate formed with an upwardly inclined inner end, a flat outer end, and a downwardly inclined central portion. The clip's inner end is wedged into the slot to tightly connect panel, plate and clip.
