A sheet material support device that is attachable to studs, joist, beams or
other
suitable framing components and that facilitates mounting orthogonal junctions
of sheet material pieces without need of multiple studs is described. The device
includes a fastener-receiving member used to fasten the sheet material to the device
and a stud-mounting member orthogonally transecting the fastener-receiving member
that is used for mounting the device on the stud. The sheet material support device
is made of a pliable plastic material and can be quickly mounted to the studs through
the stud-mounting member using an ordinary construction grade staples. Each of
two orthogonally oriented sheet materials forming the junction are quickly mounted
by being fastened through the stud-mounting member into the stud in one case and
into the fastener-receiving member in the other case.
