1. A building assembly comprising:
- an underlying building support structure;
a first building panel;
a first member comprising a base and first and second laterally displaced channel members, said first and second channel members each being interconnected with said base, said first member being attached to one of said first panel said and underlying support structure;
a second member comprising a platform and first and second laterally displaced leg members, said first and second leg members each being interconnected with and extending away from said platform, wherein a portion of said first and second leg members are slidably interconnected with said first and second channel members, respectively, said second member being attached to the other of said first panel and said underlying support structure; and
means for allowing said first member to move relative to said second member in a direction which is generally parallel with said first and second channel members.

Abstract
A mounting clip for installing a roofing panel onto an underlying support structure in sliding relation therewith. In one embodiment, the mounting clip generally includes a first member, having a base and first and second laterally disposed channel members, and a second member, having a platform and first and second laterally disposed leg members slidably engagable with said first and second channel members, respectively. Preferably, the clip assembly is substantially symmetrical to provide for a desired force distribution and to impart a desired degree of strength.

44. A clip assembly for securing portions of a first panel to an underlying support structure, said clip assembly comprising:
-
a first member comprising a base and first and second laterally displaced channel members, said first and second channel members each being interconnected with said base, said first member being attachable to said underlying support structure; means for positioning said first member in a predetermined relationship relative to said support structure before attachment of said first member to said support structure, wherein said means for positioning comprising at least one projection extending from a lower surface of said base, said first and second channel members being on an upper surface of said base; a second member comprising a platform and first and second laterally displaced leg members, said first and second leg members each being interconnected with and extending away from said platform, wherein a portion of said first and second leg members are slidably interconnected with said first and second channel members, respectively, said second member being attachable to said first panel; and means for allowing said first member to move relative to said second member in a direction which is generally parallel with said first and second channel members when said first and second support members are attached to the first panel and underlying support structure, respectively. - View Dependent Claims (45)
