APPLICATION FOR LETTERS PATENT FOR IMPROVED PARTITION WALL CONSTRUCTION ABSTRACT An improvement in a partition wall construction having two spaced apart rows of wall board connected to flanged studs wherein studs are supportably engaged within opposingly spaced apart channels, a bottom channel opening upwardly with bottom portions of the studs residing therein and an upper channel opening downwardly with top portions of the studs residing therein. The improvement comprises a device for prevention of squeaking at stud and runner engagements when said partition wall is subjected to racking forces. Said device comprising a plurality of clips each having in cross- section a hairpin-like configuration wherein an elongate plate portion terminates in a thickened base portion, said base portion having an angled plate portion including a first leg angling back toward the elongate plate, and thence term- inating in an outwardly angling second leg portion, said con- figuration forming a hairpin-like shape defining a slot be- tween the elongate plate and angled plate portion. Stud flanges nested in said slots and contacting the thickened base portion, wherein said elongate plate is disposed between flanges of the channels and flanges of the studs. Said clips comprising acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene and wherein said clip devices prevent squeaking and clicking upon subjection of said partition wall construction to horizontal racking forces tending to force the partition wall construction into a generally parallelogram-shape.
