Abstract
A clip for joining sheet metal beams to one another is formed of a single strip of sheet steel. An arcuate spring plate fits between the flanges of one beam, with a free edge engaging beneath a lip, and a transverse bend at the other edge of the arcuate section joined to a member that extends downward outside the other flange and beneath the web of the one beam. At a second bend there is a flange that rises to engage one of the flanges of the second beam beneath a bent-in lip thereof. The clips can be constructed for joining parallel beams, beams that cross at right angles, or beams that cross at any arbitrary angle.
