Abstract: A ceiling panel installation bracket has first and second flanges, and is alternatively attachable to an overhead joist or to a vertical surface of a top plate spanning a set of wall studs. The bracket has a hinged flange to which an elongated, oblique, floor-engaging, panel support can be secured. Two assemblies, each consisting of a bracket and an elongated panel support are used in laterally space relationship to guide a ceiling panel into place. Retractable stops provided on the oblique supports are used to support a ceiling panel temporarily.

Abstract: A power cord plug and jack retainer includes a first and second mating sections. The first and second sections are adapted to mate such that the first section is female and the second section is male. The sections are provided with rhombic shaped pins and slots which lock in place against resilient forces provided by resilient pads and resilient straps. The retainer is provided with conical end portions to prevent snagging but is provided with hooks on the jack side of the conical portion for hooking the retainer on a suitable support such as a belt, ladder, branch or any other suitable support. The second section with the hooks on the conical portion may be used to hang a cord of a power tool or any other item having a cord with an enlarged portion. Any tool may be hung by a rope by placing a knot in the rope and hanging it from the second section.
