Abstract
Abstract A mounting clip for a shallow channel section plate has a flat base with a pair of outwardly convex ribs onto which the plate is a resilient push fit. An end flange projects from the base to close the end of the channel, and can be broken away if not required, so that the clip can be used intermediate the ends of the plate. Three apertures in the base are elongate to allow adjustment of the clip on mounting screws so that the end flange is flush with the end of the plate. The plates can be screwed together back-to-back by connectors.
