Abstract: A hanger for use in suspending articles from an overhead suspended ceiling in which the ceiling comprises beams and ceiling panels. The beams may be T-shaped supports or L-brackets. In one embodiment, the hanger has a horizontal portion which is supported by the beam and two vertical projections. One of the vertical projections engages the edge of the ceiling panels and the other receives the object which is to be suspended. An installation tool holds the hanger while lifting the ceiling panels up and away from the beams. After the hanger is placed in position on the beam, the ceiling panel is dropped in place and locks the hanger between the edge of the ceiling panel and the beam. In an alternate embodiment the hanger is provided with clips which engage the T-shaped beam when the hanger is rotated.
