Abstract
Overhead installation clips for sheet goods, such as dry wall material. The clips support the sheets at one end, allowing one man to install this material without additional help. The clips need not be recovered after installation as they are designed to have their exposed portions broken off and discarded. The portion of the clips that remains are normally located in the seams between the sheets where they will be covered by the tape and spackle.
