Abstract

A building construction connector has a horizontal seat portion, a pair of vertical side walls extending vertically upwardly from opposite sides of the seat portion, and forming a U-shaped recess therewith, an adhesive attachment on the seat portion, and a readily removable protective cover on the adhesive attachment.

1 . A building construction connector, comprising a horizontal seat portion and a pair of vertical side walls extending vertically upwardly from opposite sides of said seat portion, said connector including an adhesive attachment on said seat portion and a readily removable protective cover on the adhesive attachment.  
     
     
         2 . A building construction connector as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein said adhesive attachment is provided on a strip-shaped area of said seat portion, said strip-shaped area being parallel to and spaced from said side walls, and said protective cover comprising a plastic material sheet covering said adhesive attachment over said strip-shaped area and extending laterally beyond opposite sides of said strip-shaped area towards said side walls.  
     
     
         3 . A construction connector as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein said adhesive attachment comprises a double coating of an adhesive substance on opposite side of a foam material.  
     
     
         4 . A building construction hanger, comprising sheet metal bent to form a flat rectangular seat portion, a pair of flat rectangular parallel side walls extending upwardly from opposite sides of said seat portion at right angles to said seat portion to form therewith a U-shaped recess and mutually aligned flanges extending at right angles to said side walls, said hanger further comprising an adhesive attachment within said U-shaped recess on said seat portion and a readily removable protective covering on said adhesive attachment.  
     
     
         5 . A building construction connector as claimed in  claim 1 , including a pair of top support flanges extending rearwardly from and at right angles to said mutually aligned flanges at the top of said sheet metal hanger, and further adhesive attachment on rear sides of said mutually aligned flanges and readily removable protective coverings on said further adhesive attachment.  
     
     
         6 . A building construction connector as claimed in  claim 4 , wherein said adhesive attachment comprises a double coating of an adhesive substance on opposite side of a foam material.  
     
     
         7 . A building construction connector as claimed in  claim 5 , wherein said further adhesive attachment comprises double coatings of an adhesive substance on opposite sides of foam material.  
     
     
         8 . A building construction hanger as claimed in  claim 7 , wherein said rear flanges have rear surfaces beneath said top support flanges and wherein further adhesive attachment is provided on said rear surfaces and on undersides of said top support flanges, with further readily removable protective covers on said further adhesive attachment.
