Claims22
A backing panel comprising:
- a first section comprising,
- a first body comprising a first web, a first lip extending transversely from the first web, and a second lip extending transversely from the first web opposite the second lip,
- a first stud interfacing portion extending from one end of the first body for nesting within a first stud, said first stud comprising two spaced apart stud legs interconnected by a stud web and a lip extending from each of said spaced apart stud legs, the first stud interfacing portion comprising,
- a first leg extending transversely from the first web,
- a second leg extending distally and transversely from the first leg,
- a third leg extending distally and transversely from the second leg for being adjacent and for interfacing with one said lips, wherein the first, second and third legs define a channel,
- a fourth leg extending distally and transversely from the third leg for being adjacent to and for interfacing with one of the stud legs of the first stud, and
- a fifth leg extending distally and transversely from the fourth leg for being adjacent to and for interfacing with the stud web of the first stud;
- and
- a second section comprising,
- a second body comprising a second web, third lip extending transversely from the second web and a fourth lip extending transversely from the second web opposite the third leg, and
- a second stud interfacing portion extending from the second body for coupling with a second stud, wherein an outer surface of the first web is parallel to an outer surface of the fourth leg, wherein at least a portion of the first body within a portion of the second body, wherein the first and second lips extend toward the second web and the third and fourth lips extend toward the first web and wherein the first and second lips are sandwiched between the third and fourth lips.
