ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a system for the demountable attachment of architectural components and particularly the demountable attachment of wallboard panels to conventional wall and partition framing members, in such a way as to permit individual panels to be removed for access to the wall cavity. A preferred form of the invention utilizes a series of barbed clips, mechanically fastened to conventional framing members along each panel intersection joint. The clips are provided with a series of resilient barbs, protruding in angular opposing directions so as to penetrate and engage opposing marginal edges of abutting wallboard panels. The clip barbs spear wallboard panel edges in a pawl-like manner to permit the wallboard panels to be urged inward to the framing member surface, there retained by the natural outward obstruction of the hinged barbs. A desirable form of the clip has the barbs located in close proximity to the clip edge to permit controlled fracture and separation of the barbs when the panels are urged outward with a determined force, thus permitting individual panels to be removed without damage. The wallboard panel may be reinstalled or a new wallboard panel may be installed when the broken clips are replaced with new ones.
