Abstract: A clip for securing two T-bar grid beam members in generally perpendicular relation to one another in the formation of a ceiling grid for use, for instance, in a suspended ceiling. A plurality of clip embodiments are disclosed, each comprising a resilient fastener portion adapted for securing the clip to a primary T-bar beam member in generally snap-fastened relation, by forcing such resilient portion down over the head of the beam, and also another resilient fastener portion projecting laterally of the first fastener portion in generally perpendicular relation with respect thereto, and comprising resilient means for connecting a secondary T-bar beam member to the first mentioned beam member and in said perpendicular relationship. The clips may be formed of sheet material, such as sheet metal, and are adapted to be mass produced. The clips can be utilized with both the type of T-bar having a rectilinear head portion, as well as the type having a generally round head portion.

Abstract: A suspension clip for assembly with a beam support having a base flange, such as for instance an inverted T-beam. The clip is formed of resilient sheet material and comprises a generally flat body and reversely bent arms extending generally parallel to the body on the same side of the latter, from opposite edges of the body, with each arm including a generally upstanding tab extending generally perpendicular to the plane of the body. The clip is adapted to be placed against the underside of the base flange of the support beam, and rotated to cause the body and coacting arms to resiliently grasp the base flange. The body may have dependent structure for attaching an article to the beam-clip assembly.

Abstract: A fixture support for a grid-type ceiling, comprising spaced clip means adapted for mounting on spaced, generally parallel, inverted T-shaped, in cross section, grid bars, with the clips having a plurality of vertically spaced openings therein for mounting a bridging bar therebetween, the bridging bar having hanger means mounted thereon for suspending a fixture, such as an electrical outlet box therefrom, and with the vertically spaced openings on the clip providing for selective vertical positioning of the bridging bar and associated hanger means with respect to the clips, thereby varying the vertical position of the outlet box with respect to the ceiling grid.

Abstract: A hold down clip for mounting on an inverted T-shaped rib of a grid-type ceiling structure, for holding the ceiling tiles in place. The clip comprises spaced leg portions which are adapted to overlie the tile and at least one foot portion projecting outwardly from the respective leg portion, with such foot portion having tab means thereon for either digging into the underlying tile and anchoring it in place or engaging the adjacent edge surface of the underlying tile in the event the latter is cut short, and maintaining it in position. The clip may be expeditiously formed from flat sheet material, such as sheet metal; in some embodiments the clip comprises more than one pair of leg portions.

Abstract: A hanger clip is presented formed of a single elongated strip of metal having spring characteristics and adapted to be manually clipped to an overhead beam, such as "T" bar or the like. The strip has a sharp return bend at approximately midway of its length providing two upwardly extending legs lying close to each other to a common level and then being bent outwardly at an obtuse angle, and again being bent inwardly at the end of the first inclined runs at the same acute angle, thus forming clipping runs of approximately equal length and having their terminal ends spaced from each other. The hooks formed by the acute angle bends are spaced apart, when unstressed, by a distance less than the width of the beam to which the clip is intended to be attached.
