PCT No. PCT/US95/09498 Sec. 371 Date Feb. 4, 1997 Sec. 102(e) Date Feb. 4, 1997 PCT Filed Aug. 3, 1995 PCT Pub. No. WO96/04434 PCT Pub. Date Feb. 15, 1996A plastic shim or other work piece useful in the construction industry is provided and is an elongated tapered hard plastic body incorporating qualities of a shim lacking in wooden shims. Each shim has transverse breakable lines so that segments can be broken off to adjust its length. For handling, a plurality of such shims are molded in a sheet with adjacent shims being spaced along their thinner sections but separably joined by longitudinal, manually breakable lines extending along their thicker sections, whereby the shims can be detached from the sheet either individually or in multiples. The shims have pockets defining nailing portions of reduced thickness which minimize the grasp of nails by the shim and allow removal of nails without damage to the shim or adjacent wood and etching to avoid uncontrolled slippage. |
