SNAP-ON FASTENING DEVICE AND CAP ASSEMBLY FOR SEAMED PANELS Abstract Fastening devices (37) are disclosed for firmly securing a batten cap (38) to a standing seam (13) connecting metal panels (11 and 12) side by side. Each fastening device has a bight portion (43) and a pair of opposed, spaced, resiliently yieldable legs (44 and 45) with a slot (46) therebetween and an entrance opening (47) in the bottom. The legs have inside wall surface portions including opposed, inside, inter- mediate projections (69 and 81) defining a skewed slot section with force-applying surface portions (72 and 83), as well as a top surface portion (85) and a bottom surface portion (65) that bear against the seam at dif- ferent contact points to prevent slippage of the body on the seam. A locking surface portion (84) bears against an overhanging surface portion (32) of the seam to prevent the body from being pulled from the seam. The legs have oppositely disposed retaining grooves (59 and 62) in the bottom to receive and hold the inturned flanges of a batten cap (38) that snaps down over a plurality of said devices on the standing seam.
