ABSTRACT:
A backer clip, a plurality of which may be used to replace a second framing member normally employed for interior corner constructions of wallboard, ceiling and partition panel assemblies, and suitable for installation on a framing member, is of a continuous length of wire bent to shape so that an interior portion (or exterior portions) thereof is (are) substantially in a single plane, and the corresponding exterior portions (or interior portion) are (is) in a substantially parallel plane when the clip is installed on a framing member, with such interior and exterior portions being connected by legs in a plane at about right angles to such other planes when the clip is installed, and being of such length that sides of the interior and exterior portions facing each other can bear against faces of a substantially rectangular longitudinal framing member onto which the clip may be installed, with the legs along a connecting side of the framing member and with a part of the interior portion or exterior portions of the clip extending beyond the framing member so as to provide a backer for a panel or partition to be assembled adjacent to such framing member. The interior portion of the backer clip is preferably of a squared and/or rounded W shape, and the interior and exterior portions are preferably bent toward each other so as better to grip a framing member, and may be barbed to facilitate more positive gripping. Also within the invention are interior corner constructions wherein a plurality of the described clips are assembled on a framing member, such as a wood 2.times.4 or a C-shaped metal channel or stud, one panel at a corner has a hidden face thereof against the clips and such panel is maintained in such position by being contacted with the end of an adjacent corner panel fastened to the framing member at a right angle to the first panel. Additionally, the invention includes a tool for applying such clips to framing members, and a method for application of the clips, using such tool.
