  • Patent number: 5788403
    Abstract: The fire protection of steelwork requires insulation material to be fitted around any exposed steelwork. Typical steelwork comprises I-section rolled steel members, but the flange thickness can vary considerably in thickness.The present invention aims to provide a single push-on clip which can be fitted to the most commonly used flange sizes providing a simple but effective means of attaching fire protection material to steelwork.Accordingly, the clip according to the present invention comprises a length of wire which is bent to form a first abutment disposed immediate the ends of the length of the wire and which is further provided with a pair of second abutments connected to the first abutment by respective connecting limb portions. The first and second abutments are adapted to engage opposite sides of a side flange of the steelwork. Twisting and/or bending of the wire allows the spacing between the first and second abutments to be adjusted to suit a particular flange dimension.
