## Abstract

A lath securing system is provided that is configured to durably retain wire lath in a spaced position from a wall that is to be coated, the system comprising a retaining member for retaining a section of wire lath therein to restrain the wire lath in a secure position; and a fastening member comprising rigid means for securing the retaining member to the wall so that when the retaining member is fastened to the wall, the section of wire lath within the retaining means is secured in a spaced position away from the wall so as to permit application of wall coating without significant movement of the wire lath.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A lath securing system configured to durably retain wire lath in a spaced position from a wall that is to be coated with, for example, stucco or plaster, the system comprising:
a rigid fastening member comprising a first end, a second end, and a spacer therebetween, the first end comprises a tapered end configured for attachment to the wall, the second end comprises a generally flat head, and the spacer comprises a radially extending ridge configured to prevent the head from coming into contact with the wall at a predefined distance; and
a clip comprising comprises a head-engaging means at a second end opposite the first end for engaging the head of the fastener, so that when the system is in place on the wall, the first hook is secured to the wire lath section while the head-engaging means is secured to the fastener.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The lath securing system of claim 1, wherein the head-engaging means comprises a pocket within with the head of the fastener may reside to engage the clip to the fastener in secure fashion.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The lath securing system of claim 1, wherein the fastener may be selected from a group comprising a self-tapping screw and nail.
