Claims16
A mounting clip, comprising:
- a clip body which has a substantially square aperture formed therein;
- and
- an engaging component having a substantially rectangular shaped portion received in the substantially square aperture and which moveably mounts the clip body to a first structural member and which facilitates the movement of the clip body when mounted in a first position along a first path of travel and when mounted in a second position along a second path of travel, and wherein the first and second paths of travel are substantially normal one relative to another without changing orientation of the clip body.
A mounting clip for joining at least two structural members together, comprising:
- a clip body having a first and a second leg, and wherein one of the first or second legs has an aperture formed therein;
- an engaging component having a substantially rectangular shaped portion matingly received in the aperture and affixed to a first structural member, and wherein the engaging component when disposed in a first position renders the clip body moveable along a first path of travel relative to the first structural member, and wherein the engaging component when mounted in a second position renders the clip body moveable along a second path of travel relative to the first structural member and which is substantially normal relative to the first path of travel without changing orientation of the clip body;
- and wherein the second leg is affixed to a second structural member;
- a securing component mounted on the engaging component and moveably capturing the leg which has the aperture formed therein between the securing component and the first structural member;
- and
- a fastener received through the engaging and securing components and which secures the mounting clip to the first structural member.
