  • Patent number: 5409191
    Abstract: An apparatus for hanging a sign from a suspended ceiling of the type including T-runners and intervening ceiling panels comprises a ceiling engaging member defined by an extruded bar having a pair of tabs attached to each end so as to extend outwardly in the horizontal top plane of the bar. The bar includes a vertically extending slot for receiving the blade of a handle by which the bar can be lifted and twisted to engage the tabs on top of the T-runners of the ceiling. A central raised button allows the bar to be rotated against the ceiling panel. A second extruded bar is attached to the first by a central coupling head which allows the second bar to rotate. The sign is attached to the second bar and suspended therefrom, the vertical plane of the sign being movable between different orientations by rotation of the second bar.
