Abstract:
1. A vibration isolating mounting clip resiliently mounting a furring channel to a mounting surface, wherein the furring channel is further loaded with a finishing substrate, wherein the furring channel has a channel portion, and opposing flanges, comprising: a resilient bent metal strip, wherein said strip has two opposing end portions, a first end and a second end, and a middle portion, wherein there is a transition portion between said middle portion, and each of said end portions, wherein said end portions are mounted to the mounting surface, and wherein said middle portion is shaped to the contours of the channel portion of the furring channel, wherein the resiliency of said resilient bent metal strip, and the shape of said transition portions are such that when said clip is mounted to the mounting surface, and a furring channel is placed in said middle portion, and the finishing substrate is mounted to the furring channel, no part of the furring channel is in contact with the mounting surface, and the flanges of the furring channel are relatively parallel to the mounting surface, wherein said transition portions have multiple bends, such that when mounted on the mounting surface, these bends bend said strip away from the mounting surface at least once, and towards the mounting surface at least once.
