Abstract
Mechanically held fasteners or clips invisibly secure common end-abutting wallboard panels to common wood or metal framing members. The fasteners are spaced apart, extending from the backs of wallboard panels and beyond their vertical ends so as to be conveniently screw fastened to a framing member. When screw fastened to common wall framing members, the clips, due to their spacing structure, which also improves clip strength, secure the wallboard panels slightly off the framing member front surface to permit offset fasteners of abutting wallboard panels to slide between the fastened wallboard panels and the framing members and to be engaged by the fastened wallboard panels in a 'tongue and groove' relationship, preventing transverse panel movement.
