Abstract
A universal clip assembly for use in restraining in position two window frame members post-assembly until sealant applied to the frame members fully cures. The universal clip assembly includes an upper panel, a lower panel and a hook plate disposed between the upper and lower panels. Each panel includes one or more protrusions extending outwardly from an interior surface of the panel. Interior surfaces of the upper and lower panels are positioned to face one another and the one or more protrusion from each of the upper and lower panels passes into an opening in the opposite panel as well as openings in the hook plate to secure the hook plate in position therebetween the panels.
Claims18
A universal clip for restraining two frame members into position until sealant applied fully cures, the clip comprising:
- (a) an upper panel with an exterior surface and an interior surface, at least one opening between the interior surface and the exterior surface and at least one protrusion extending outwardly from the interior surface;
- (b) a lower panel with an exterior surface and an interior surface, at least one opening between the interior surface and the exterior surface and at least one protrusion extending outwardly from the interior surface;
- and
- (c) a hook plate with first and second longitudinally opposed edges, the second edge arcuately shaped, first and second laterally opposed edges, a through hole proximate each of the laterally opposed edges, the hook plate disposed between the upper and lower panels;
- wherein
- the interior surfaces of the upper and lower panels are disposed facing one another and the at least one protrusion from each of the upper and lower panels passes through the at least one opening in the opposite panel.
A universal clip assembly for restraining in position two window frame members post-assembly until sealant applied fully cures, the clip assembly comprising:
- (a) an upper panel with an exterior surface and an interior surface, at least one opening between the interior surface and the exterior surface and at least one protrusion extending outwardly from the interior surface, the upper panel further comprising a main body with laterally opposed edges and longitudinally extending projections proximate the laterally opposed edges;
- (b) a lower panel with an exterior surface and an interior surface, at least one opening between the interior surface and the exterior surface and at least one protrusion extending outwardly from the interior surface, the lower panel further comprising a main body with laterally opposed edges and longitudinally extending projections proximate the laterally opposed edges;
- and
- (c) a hook plate with first and second longitudinally opposed edges, the second edge arcuately shaped, first and second laterally opposed edges, a through hole proximate each of the laterally opposed edges, the hook plate disposed between the upper and lower panels;
- wherein
- the interior surfaces of the upper and lower panels are disposed facing one another and the at least one protrusion from each of the upper and lower panels passes through the at least one opening in the opposite panel.
A universal clip for restraining two frame members into position until sealant applied fully cures, the clip comprising:
- (a) an upper panel with an exterior surface and an interior surface, at least one opening between the interior surface and the exterior surface and at least one protrusion extending outwardly from the interior surface;
- (b) a lower panel with an exterior surface and an interior surface, at least one opening between the interior surface and the exterior surface and at least one protrusion extending outwardly from the interior surface;
- and
- (c) a hook plate with first and second longitudinally opposed edges, the second edge arcuately shaped, first and second laterally opposed edges, a through hole proximate each of the laterally opposed edges, the hook plate disposed between the upper and lower panels;
- wherein
- the interior surfaces of the upper and lower panels are disposed facing one another and the at least one protrusion from each of the upper and lower panels passes through the at least one opening in the opposite panel and through each of the holes proximate the laterally opposed edges in the hook plate to secure the hook plate in position.
