Abstract:
A deflection clip and system. The deflection clip includes a rigid cross member having opposite first and second ends. An edge extends therebetween. Substantially parallel first and second flanges extend in a first direction substantially orthogonally from the cross member. The first and second flanges are mounted to the first and second ends respectively. A third flange is mounted to the edge of the cross member and extends in a second direction opposite to the first direction. The first and second flanges are spaced apart a distance substantially equal to the width of a horizontal element such as a track to which at least one vertical stud is slidably mounted so as to slide over exterior surfaces of the element for slidable translation in the first direction of the clip relative to the element. The third flange mounts to upper ends of the stud.
Abstract:
An angle clip for float mounting of a vertical stud to a horizontal roof angle includes rigid first and second flanges, wherein the first flange is mounted orthogonally to the second flange, and the first flange is adapted for rigid mounting to a first side of the vertical stud. The second flange is forming as an inverted channel between a second side of the stud, which is adjacent and orthogonal to the first side of the stud, and a planar channel-forming member of the second flange, so that an opening of the channel opens downwardly. The channel-forming member is substantially parallel to the second side of the stud when mounted thereon with the first flange mounted to the first side of the stud. The channel is sized to receive in snug vertical sliding engagement in the channel the upper vertical flange of the horizontal roof angle.
