Abstract
A resilient flooring construction having a capacity for downward deflexure which comprises, as part of its sub-floor assembly, a plurality of elongated parallel supporting channel means having deflexure slots each of which are engaged by the top step member of a three member step-shaped anchoring clip which has a bottom step member fastened to a foundation outside the structural confines of the supporting channel, and a vertical riser member in the middle of the anchoring clip which limits the upward movement of the floor construction and permits its downward deflexure.
