  • Patent number: 4564165
    Abstract: A device is provided for attaching a depending unit (e.g., a poster) to a ceiling wherein the latter includes a support having an exposed flange. The depending unit has a thin upper peripheral segment with means for adjustment from a first mode to a second mode. The device has an elongated member provided with an elongated interior cavity accessible through an elongated narrow opening formed in the exposed surface thereof. The opening is sized to permit the unit upper peripheral segment to pass therethrough only when the means is in the first mode. When the unit upper peripheral segment is disposed within the cavity of the elongated member, the means assumes a second mode whereby the elongated member and said unit are retained in attached relation. The device is provided with an element which engages a concealed surface portion of the elongated member and coacts with the exposed flange of the ceiling support and secures the elongated member thereto.
