Deck clip and modular deck assembly

摘要

A deck clip for connecting prefabricated deck tiles to sleepers includes a planar base for connection to a sleeper, spaced apart barbs on opposite sides of the top surface of the base for penetrating the corners of furring strips of two adjacent first floor tiles, and an inverted L-shaped hook integral with and extending upwardly from one end of the base, the top arm of the hook extending away from the base defining a ledge for engaging the corners of furring strips of two additional floor tiles adjacent to the first two floor tiles.

主权项

1. A deck clip for use in assembling a deck, the deck including deck tiles defined by floor boards connected to furring strips mounted on parallel sleepers, or for resurfacing an existing deck, the deck including exposed joists, the deck clip comprising a planar base; holes in the base for receiving fasteners for connecting the clip to one of the sleepers or to an exposed joist of an existing deck; an inverted L-shaped hook including a web extending vertically upwardly from one end of the base having a top end spaced from one end of the base and a planar ledge extending horizontally from the top end of the web in a direction away from the base having an outer free end for insertion between the floor boards and furring strips of two adjacent deck tiles and engaging the furring strips of the two adjacent deck tiles; and barbs extending upwardly from the base on each side of a longitudinal axis of the base for engaging and retaining furring strips of third and fourth deck tiles.
