ABSTRACT:
A wall panel hanging system according to the present invention comprises a top hanging track horizontally secured to a wall adjacent the junction of the wall and ceiling which cooperates with clips attached to a panel and by means of which the panel is hung from the top hanging track. The top hanging track has a forwardly facing shank receiving portion at the upper edge thereof and a forwardly extending shoulder therebelow. The track further includes a flange area for receiving fasteners and by means of which the track is secured to a wall. Each clip includes a top shank sized for close reception in said shank receiving portion and a clip shoulder spaced below said top shank and cooperating with said forwardly extending shoulder when the shank is received in said top hanging track. The cooperating shoulders effect positioning of the clip in the track such that the clip shoulder is above and in support engagement with the forwardly facing shoulder of the top hanging track. The clips are first partially inserted in the top hanging track by inserting the shank in the shank receiving portion with the panel at an angle to the wall, whereafter the panel can be moved towards the wall and positioned to effect cooperation between the shoulders of the top hanging track and the clips provided on the panels. The clips are provided at selected points, whereas the track is secured in lengths along the wall. The reception of the clip in the track still allows horizontal sliding of the panel along the wall until further engagement with the wall is provided.
