ABSTRACT:
Fastening devices are disclosed for firmly securing a batten cap to a standing seam connecting metal panels side by side. Each fastening device has a bight portion and a pair of opposed, spaced, resiliently yieldable legs with a slot therebetween and an entrance opening in the bottom. The legs have inside wall surface portions including opposed, inside, intermediate projections defining a skewed slot section with force-applying surface portions, as well as a top surface portion and a bottom surface portion that bear against the seam at different contact points to prevent slippage of the body on the seam. A locking surface portion bears against an overhanging surface portion of the seam to prevent the body from being pulled from the seam. The legs have oppositely disposed retaining grooves in the bottom to receive and hold the inturned flanges of a batten cap that snaps down over a plurality of said devices on the standing seam.
