Patent ID: 6871822

Claim:
An apparatus for attaching a panel to an adjoining structure, the apparatus comprising: a first member having a first elongated coupling member, the first member being adapted to be coupled to the adjoining structure; and a second member having a head portion and a base portion, the head portion having at least one slot disposed therein, the slot being adapted to receive an edge portion of the panel, the base portion having a second elongated coupling member adapted to be coupled to the first elongated coupling member, wherein the first elongated coupling member includes an elongated channel having at least one open end, and wherein the second elongated coupling member includes an elongated projection that is engageable into the open end and slideable along a longitudinal axis of the elongated channel, the elongated projection being substantially constrained within the elongated channel from movement relative to the first member in directions other than along the longitudinal axis, and wherein the elongated channel is defined by a pair of side surfaces, a bottom surface extending between the side surfaces, and an outer opening opposite from the bottom surface, the side surfaces and bottom surface defining a cross-sectional shape having a narrowed portion that is spaced apart from the bottom surface.
