 Movable partition base attachment

Details

Assignee: United States Gypsum Company (Chicago, IL)

Attorney, Agent or Firm:

A base trim attachment assembly is provided for movable partitions comprising retainer clips having formed barbs which are installed into gypsum panels by pressing the barbs into the panels, and having means for receiving a nail which is driven on a downward angle into the panels. The nails prevent outward movement of the clips and the barbs restrict any upward movement which would normally permit loosening of the nails. After the clips are installed, the base is slipped down over the clips until it snaps in place. The present structure permits a very thin base which matches existing moveable partition components.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION Accordingly it is an object of the present invention to provide a base trim for movable partitions and a complementary retainer clip which system is simple to apply to a wall of a movable partition.
It is a further object to provide a combination of the type described which permits firm attachment of the trim to the wall.
It is an additional object to provide a combination base trim and retainer clip which is relatively simple and inexpensive to manufacture.
Still further objects and advantages of the invention will appear from the description which follows and from the drawings.
To the accomplishment of the foregoing and related ends, the invention comprises a combination of a base trim and retainer clip for use in application to gypsum panels particularly of movable partitions.
The clip comprises a portion for being inserted into an integral channel provided in the base trim.
The clip additionally has a formed barb which is pressed into the gypsum panel to prevent lateral and up and down movement of the clip.
An elongated aperture is also provided so that a nail may be inserted therethrough at an acute angle with respect to the wall and driven into the wall.
The nail and barb cooperate to prevent movement of the clip.
