Abstract: An improved ceiling tile system comprising a molding member within which is disposed at least one ceiling tile is disclosed wherein means are provided to urge the ceiling tile downwardly and/or in a direction away from the molding member. According to the invention, the urging means comprises a unitary resilient spring clip, a resilient portion of which engages a vertical wall of the molding and then engages an opposed vertical edge of a ceiling tile and simultaneously, while in engagement with said opposed vertical edge of said ceiling tile, bears against a surface of said molding above said tile and opposed thereto.

Abstract: An electric drill is disclosed having a tool housing, and a power shaft within the housing journaled for rotation. The tool can perform several different functions together or alternatively and includes a jaw closing function, a drilling function, a hammering function, an extracting function and the like. The application is also concerned with an automatic means for going from one function to another either automatically by the rotation of a shaft or in response to the extent to which a trigger on the tool is depressed inwardly toward the tool housing.

Abstract: A dispenser, especially a dispenser for toothpaste and other paste-like materials and solid substances, comprising a housing and a face plate, the face plate having an openable and closeable aperture therein through which material in said housing is dispensed, the housing having a cover, pivotally connected thereto and carrying an over plate which rideably overlies the face plate. The housing has within it a compressor connected to an engaging means. The engaging means is engaged in a longitudinally disposed track in the housing. The cover bears against an actuating means connected to a transmission which urges the compressor longitudinally within the housing whereby it can engage a container within the housing made of a yieldable material containing material to dispense whereby pressure of the compressor on the yieldable material causes the contents thereof to be dispensed from an opening in the yieldable material.

Abstract: A suspended ceiling tile assembly is disclosed of the type having main runners interconnected by cross members defining a grid assembly where the grid assembly has horizontal ledges engaged by ceiling tile, the improvement being in that there is at least one slot in a main runner or in a cross member and a vertical support for supporting a removable wall partition which vertical support member extends from the grid assembly at the slot, the vertical support member having a generally horizontal top member also having a slot therein, the slot of the generally horizontal top member and the slot of the main runner or cross section being in general registry with one another and separated by a gap, the main runner or cross member being interconnected with the horizontal member of the vertical support member by a clip which overlies a horizontal ledge of a main runner or cross member and underlies the horizontal member of the vertical support member, said clip defining the gap between the main runner or cross member

Abstract: An improvement in a modular ceiling tile assembly having a zone occupied by ceiling tile having a curf in at least one side thereof, said zone defined by ceiling tile main runners interconnected by cross members, said cross members having a generally horizontal lip protruding toward said zone, the improvement residing in that at least one of said tiles is engaged by a spline having a generally horizontal base and a generally vertical riser attached to said base, said spline being slotted, said spline being removably connected at at least one end thereof to the generally horizontal lip of a cross member by a movable clip, said clip being disposable over said horizontal lip of said cross member to rest thereon.
