ABSTRACT:
An improved wall panel clip includes a retainer plate and a hook member extending from the retainer plate for insertion into a slot to retain a wall panel against an upright. The hook forms a notch having a narrow opening and a wider inner width. The surface of the hook adjacent the narrow opening engages a surface of the upright when the hook is positioned in the slots so that a portion of the upright penetrates into the slot. Engagement of the hook with the surface of the upright resists inadvertent movement of the clip relative to the upright to retain the panel in position on the upright. The clip preferably includes a plurality of such hooks projecting from a spacer plate that extends from the retainer plate. The width of the spacer plate is preferably approximately equal to the thickness of a panel to be installed upon the upright so that when the hooks are engaged in the slots, an outer edge of the spacer plate is engaged with a surface of the upright so that the hooks and edge of the spacer plate cooperate to firmly engage the clip upon the upright while the retainer plate retains the panel adjacent the upright.
