CONCEALABLE WALLBOARD FASTENER ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE: A fastener for use with other such fasteners in concealably holding wallboard panels to framing members and in abutting linear relationship with each other is made of sheet metal and includes a first part suitable for fastening to and against a framing member, a second part overlying a part of said first part and farther from the framing member than the first part, when installed, an intermediate section connecting said first and second parts so they can move relatively, with the intermediate section resisting such movement, a web extending from said second part and at the web end,an impaling part for insertion into a wallboard. The first and second parts of the fastener are substantially flat and in parallel planes and spaced from each other, with the result that the intermediate portion serves in the capacity of a movement- resisting hinge or spring, absorbing energy which may be applied to the wallboard, as by mechanical shocks, diminishing vibrational effects and improving acoustical properties of the wallboard assembly. Preferably the impaling part is a pair of pointed members substantially parallel to the first and second fastener parts. The fasteners are installed (impaled) alternately on abutting portions of first and second wallboards, with the first parts of such fasteners impaled on the first wallboard being held to a framing member and with the fasteners impaled on the second abutting wallboard having first parts thereof fitted behind the first wallboard to hold the wallboards in aligned linear relationship. Also described are fasteners of modified designs and including additional features, such as mounting slots, mounting adhesive means, "leading" edges for facilitating assembly and for spacing the wallboard from the framing member on which it is mounted, supplementary "spring" members, intermediate sections of modified structures, installed fasteners held in place substantially flat against the wallboard and bendable into desired shape, and divisible or convertible fasteners, a portion of which, after such division, may be used to hold a wallboard at right angles to another such board.
