Abstract: Deck planks with undercut side grooves can be attached to underlying joists by hidden fasteners with leading wings and trailing feet engaged into the side grooves of the deck planks. The bodies of the hidden fasteners space the deck planks so as to provide adequate drainage gaps between the top faces of the deck planks. A power driver tool can be used for rapidly positioning the hidden fasteners and for attaching the hidden fasteners to the joists.

Abstract: An L-shape slotted deck board and hidden fastener system includes a decking board or plank and a hidden-type fastener device. The plank includes two generally L-shaped slots formed on a planar underside or bottom of the plank, which provide the construction member with two underside, inwards-facing shoulders or lips. The fastener is a clip-like member that includes a flat body portion and two “wing” portions on opposite edges of the body. Each wing includes a sidewall portion perpendicular to the body, as well as a lip portion attached to the sidewall and bent down inwards toward the body. The wings are complementary in shape to the slots, such that the lip and sidewall portions of the wing “hook around” the inwards-facing shoulder of the L-shaped slot. The fastener holds adjacent planks together by hooking around the planks' laterally adjacent, oppositely facing slots/shoulders.

Abstract: A hidden-type fastener for attaching laterally adjacent grooved decking members to an underlying support includes a body with a fastener opening, first and second connection wings, and a flange. The wings extend out from a top edge of the body in opposite directions. Each includes a first portion perpendicular to the body and a second portion oriented at an angle thereto. The flange is perpendicular to the body, and is attached to a bottom edge thereof. In use, the wing opposite the flange is placed in the groove of a first decking member. A connector is secured into the support through the opening, causing the fastener and wing to flex into engagement with the decking member. A second decking member is placed laterally against the first by maneuvering its side groove over the other wing, causing the wing to flex for engagement therewith.

Abstract: According to the present invention, a fastener for securing a first board to an underlying supporting member and to at least one other board running adjacent and parallel to the first board. The fastener includes a body portion, first and second prongs, and a flange. The first prong extends outwardly from the body portion for driving into a first board. The second prong extends outwardly from the body portion for penetrating a second board. The body portion of the fastener includes an opening for receiving a connector. When installed, the connector passes through the opening in the body portion and into the supporting member, which supports and underlies the first and second boards. The flange extends outwardly from the body portion in order to maintain a desired gap between the first and second boards. The prongs may have concave insertion ends as defined by two spaced-apart insertion points.

A second decking member is placed laterally against the first by maneuvering its side groove over the over wing, causing the wing to flex for engagement therewith.
