Attorney, Agent or Firm: O'Brien; Clarence A., Jacobson; Harvey B.
A clip assembly for attaching a member, such as a partition or duct, to a support covered with a layer of a fireproofing material while maintaining the integrity of the fireproofing layer, or attaching wallboard to a beam or column, has a pair of clip sub-assemblies adjustably connectible together to fit different size supports. Each clip sub-assembly is provided with a plate portion defining a planar support engaging surface substantially in the form of the outline of a right triangle and arranged particularly for gripping a flange of an I-beam and the like, while end walls perpendicular to the plate portions facilitate attachment of wallboard to the clip assembly for furring, and the like. Base portions, one of which has a slot and the other a plurality of spaced openings mateable to the slot, are connected to the plate portions and permit the adjustable connection of the clip sub-assemblies to various size supports. |

DETAILED DESCRIPTION It is a primary object of the present invention to provide a clip assembly which will maintain the integrity of a fireproof layer on a support, while facilitating furring of the support.
This and other objects are achieved according to the present invention by providing a clip assembly having a pair of clip sub-assemblies adjustably connectible to one another to fit different size supports.
The particular manner in which the clip sub-assemblies engage a support covered with a layer of fireproofing material will cause the integrity of the fireproofing layer to be maintained.
According to a preferred clip assembly according to the present invention, each of the clip sub-assemblies has a plate portion extending in a plane and defining in the plane a support engaging surface substantially in the form of the outline of a right triangle.
This configuration is especially suited for engaging the flange of a structural member having an I-shaped cross section.
The engagement of the clip sub-assemblies with the structural member only along a thin plane results in the fireproofing layer being only parted slightly without being either removed or otherwise damaged by the clip.
Advantageously, each of the clip sub-assemblies has a base portion connected to and arranged extending perpendicularly from an edge of the associated plate portion.
One of these base portions may be provided with a longitudinally extending slot, and the other with spaced openings arranged for selective alignment with the slot.
By arranging the spaced portions in overlapping relationship, a screw, and the like, may be used for selectively connecting together the clip sub-assemblies by passing through the slot and being anchored in one of the spaced openings.
Further, each clip sub-assembly has an end wall connected to and extending perpendicularly from both the base portion and plate portion for supporting wallboard which is furring the support.
These together with other objects and advantages which will become subsequently apparent reside in the details of construction and operation as more fully hereinafter described and claimed, reference being had to the accompanying drawings forming a part hereof, wherein like numerals refer to like parts throughout
