ABSTRACT:
An elongated cap is provided which is utilizable in wall panel and standing seam systems for performing various fastening and protecting functions. The cap cooperates with a pair of clip arms extending upwardly from a body portion, and operatively attached to a panel or at a junction between panels, of a system with which the cap is associated. The cap includes a first end which is looped around a first flange extending perpendicularly to one of the clip arms, and the second end of the cap is pivoted about the interconnection between the first end and the first flange. A second flange is provided extending parallel to the first flange and outwardly therefrom, and is connected to the other of the clip arms. A second end of the cap, opposite the first end, is formed to provide an inwardly directed cam, and resiliency is provided in the assembly. As the second end of the cap is pivoted about the first end the cam engages the second flange, the resiliency of the system allows the cam to move past the second flange, and then the inherent resiliency returns the second flange and cam to a non-displaced position, with the cap then locking the flanges together.
