  • Replacement hold-down clip for suspended-ceiling panels
    Patent number: 4033079
    Abstract: A replacement hold-down clip permits a standard ceiling panel to be manipulated into position in a suspended-ceiling support grid. The replacement clip is attached to the edge of the ceiling panel and is equipped with an extending tab by which the panel can be manipulated into position from the finished side of the ceiling. As a panel is pulled into position, a spring gripping means on the clip engages a bulb portion of the suspended support grid, so that the panel is held in place. The manipulating tab is frangible on the finished side of the ceiling so that it can be broken off after installation.
