  • Patent number: 5364053
    Abstract: An apparatus for hanging suspended ceiling structures from an overhead surface, such as a spanning joist or beam, includes a fastener adapted for adjustable securement into the overhead surface and a flexible, elongated, suspension wire having a first end for attachment to the fastener and a second end for attachment to the suspended ceiling structure. Integrally formed from the wire at the first end are a plurality of adjacent coils which are adapted to encompass the fastener. The coils loosely contact the fastener so that free rotation of the fastener, for selective adjustment in the overhead surface, can be accomplished without turning and binding the pendent wire.
