ABSTRACT:
A wall assembly comprised of a number of wall panels releasably coupled by clips of improved construction to spaced, vertical studs. Each wall panel has an end face and each clip has a number of tines or teeth which are forced or driven into the end face of the corresponding wall panel. The clip further has a resilient part mounted on a base part which engages the adjacent surface of a wall panel. The resilient part yields in one direction when it engages the adjacent flange of the stud as the wall panel is forced toward the stud in a horizontal direction. This permits the resilient part to pass by and thereby clear the flange of the stud, whereupon the resilient part snaps back behind the flange and thereby releasably couples the wall panel to the flange with the wall panel at the front of the flange. The resilient part is breakable from the body of the clip when the wall panel is pulled in a horizontal direction away from the stud, thereby permitting removal of the wall panel from the wall assembly. New clips are put in place on the wall panel when it is to be re-installed.
