ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is a wallboard panel construction including first and second abutting wallboard panels secured to generic framing members by a series of distortable clip pairs, each of the clips having substantially flat, coplanar plate and tongue portions, extending at substantially right angles and in opposite directions from central web portions, the web portions extending within the wallboard panel joints terminate with wallboard impaling pointed portions extending in the direction of and substantially parallel to the plate portions, the tongue portions are severed or slotted to form a fastener attachment terminal end portion, hinged from the plate portion by leaf spring edge portions, the first wallboard panel having a first series of clips, initially having coplanar plate and tongue portions with the terminal fastener ends mechanically secured (screwed or nailed) to a framing subsurface, the second wallboard panel having a second series of identical clips with tongue portions urged between the first wallboard panel back surface and the framing subsurface, the second wallboard panel and attached clips spaced from the subsurface by the fastener (screw or nail) head thickness, thus lifting the first wallboard panel, distorting the first series of fastened clips, which retain the wallboard panel assembly in permanent tension.
