CLIP ASSEMBLY FOR A SUSPENDED CEILING

A clip assembly for a suspended ceiling comprises a top member and a bottom member. The suspended ceiling comprises at least one ceiling panel and at least one runner. The top member has an upper wall for being secured to an overhead structure and comprises a pair of lower spaced apart lateral walls downwardly extending from the upper wall. The lateral walls define front and rear open faces and a bottom opening and comprise respective outer surfaces and inner surfaces defining a channel therebetween. At least one inward fin extends from each of the inner surfaces into the channel in an upwardly sloped direction. The bottom member comprises a top end, a bottom end for being secured to the runner and opposite lateral surfaces therebetween. At least one outward fin extends from each of the lateral surfaces in a downwardly sloped direction that is complementary to the upward sloped direction of the at least one inward fin. The bottom member is configured to be inserted Into the channel via the front or rear open faces providing for each one of the outward fins to slide on a respective one of the inward fins and be supported thereon and for the bottom end to extend below the bottom opening thereby mounting the bottom member to the top member so as to connect the runner when the bottom end is secured thereto to the overhead structure when the upper wall is secured thereto.
