The projection is forced into tacking engagement with the first structural member, causing the connector to be tacked in place. The tacking engagement is effected when the lip is placed into an underlapping association with a bottom surface of the first structural member the connector undergoes at least one of a) a pivoting the connector about the lip at the underlapping association of the lip with the bottom surface and b) a movement of the connector towards the first structural member and parallel with its bottom surface. The tacking engagement holds the connector in its placed orientation relative to the first structural member.

  • Publication number: 20160319535
    Abstract: This invention is a panel mount for non penetrative fastening of a panel (such as a glass pane). The panel mount has clamp jaws defining an elongate slot in which an edge of a panel can be received. A foot is provided for mounting and fastening the clamp jaws to a structure. At least one of the clamp jaws carries at least one threaded fastener that can be actuated by a user, including when the foot is fastened to the structure. The threaded fastener(s) of the at least one clamp jaw, in cooperation with the other clamping jaw, is capable of operatively clamping the panel to hold it in the slot, irrespective of any non-parallel disposition of the plane of the panel to the elongate direction of the slot.
