Abstract: A fastening clip for securing a wall panel or the like to a suitable supporting structure, such as a stud having flanges parallel to and supporting the panel, the fastening clip being constructed such that it will provide a strong support for holding the panel firmly against the support with a force greater than that which the clip in normal flexure would permit, yet be readily flexible with a much less force to permit the panel to be put in place. The clip is further constructed such that a panel, which cannot readily be moved laterally to any great degree to engage the clip with the support, may be engaged with the support by moving the edge of the panel directly toward the support, in a direction substantially normal to the facing surfaces of the panel and support.

Abstract: A wall construction utilizing unique fastening clips to demountably secure wall panels to a suitable supporting structure, such as a stud, the fastening clips being constructed such that the outer surface of adjacent panels are maintained substantially flush.
