The present disclosure involves a device for inserting through adjoining panes of glass, which may be oriented to apply pressure to opposing sides of the glass in one orientation. The device generally comprises a shaft that accepts a fastener, which may be moved to tighten or loosen pressure applied by the device upon the glass. In one embodiment, the device comprises one or more plates for insertion through and placement against opposite sides of the adjoining panes of glass, and which can be used to reduce or remove bowing along the surface of the glass prior to sealing.

The present invention is a construction panel mounting apparatus that temporarily secures a wall or ceiling panel in position until the installer can permanently secure it.

In addition, the construction panel mounting apparatus of the present invention also serves as a panel foot lift that facilitates the lifting of heavy panels from the floor.

A device for stabilizing a sheet material to a stud member includes two side members that sandwich the stud member and a back member joining the two side members together. One or more protrusions may extend inward from one or both of the side members so that the device is frictionally fit and secured to the stud member. A shelf extends away and outward from the back member so that the sheet material can be placed on the shelf before the sheet member is fastened to the stud member. The device can include an angled portion at the bottom of the back member so that a hammer can apply a force to the angled portion to cause the device to move away from the stud member for removal.
