Abstract: A connector strip is mechanically attached to the planar surface defined by wooden or metallic walls. In a first embodiment the connector strip has an elongate I-beam configuration with a proximal end having transverse arms that define a flattened base that is attachable to the wall. A central rib member extends from the proximal end and is transverse to the plane of the transverse arms. The distal end of the connector strip is also defined by arms that are transverse to the central rib and which define an insulation board receiving slot between the arms on the proximal and distal ends. The arms at the distal end-the outer end of the connector strip when it is attached to a wall, serve as a surface onto which exterior materials such as siding and sheetrock may be anchored with nails or screws.

Abstract: A connector strip is mechanically pressed into a slot formed in a concrete wall. The connector strip has a distal end with resilient, deformable legs that engage the walls of the slot—when the strip is pressed into the slot the legs deform from a resting position and press against the walls of the slot, preventing the strip from being pulled out of engagement in the slot. The proximal end of the connector strip is defined by transverse retaining arms that retain insulation board against the concrete, and which serve as a surface into which siding and sheetrock may be anchored with nails or screws.
