Abstract
A hold down clip for mounting on an inverted T-shaped rib of a grid-type ceiling structure, for holding the ceiling tiles in place. The clip comprises spaced leg portions which are adapted to overlie the tile and at least one foot portion projecting outwardly from the respective leg portion, with such foot portion having tab means thereon for either digging into the underlying tile and anchoring it in place or engaging the adjacent edge surface of the underlying tile in the event the latter is cut short, and maintaining it in position. The clip may be expeditiously formed from flat sheet material, such as sheet metal; in some embodiments the clip comprises more than one pair of leg portions.
