Angle clip for float mounting of a vertical stud to a horizontal roof angle

Abstract: An angle clip for float mounting of a vertical stud to a horizontal roof angle includes rigid first and second flanges, wherein the first flange is mounted orthogonally to the second flange, and the first flange is adapted for rigid mounting to a first side of the vertical stud. The second flange is forming as an inverted channel between a second side of the stud, which is adjacent and orthogonal to the first side of the stud, and a planar channel-forming member of the second flange, so that an opening of the channel opens downwardly. The channel-forming member is substantially parallel to the second side of the stud when mounted thereon with the first flange mounted to the first side of the stud. The channel is sized to receive in snug vertical sliding engagement in the channel the upper vertical flange of the horizontal roof angle. (end of abstract)
