ABSTRACT:
A ganging clip (10) is adapted to mount to a pair of neighboring work surface support brackets (12) to secure together the work surfaces (14) mounted thereto and to adjust the relative heights of the work surfaces (14). The clip (10) comprises a central portion (36) and a pair of end portions (38) positioned in overlapping relationship to the central portion (36) so as to form a pair of resilient jaws (52) having extending therethrough a pair of screws (56). The jaws (52) are adapted to engage a pair of opposing horizontal legs (32) of the support brackets (12). Tightening of the screws (56) results in closing of the jaws (52) to securely clamp the clip (10) to the support brackets (12) and thus to secure together the work surfaces (14) mounted thereto. The relative heights of the work surfaces (14) may be subsequently adjusted by tightening or loosening either of the screws (56).
