ABSTRACT:
An elongated metal clip, substantially L-shaped in cross section, is provided for joining the tiles in a starting row of a suspended ceiling system in edge-aligned relationship and stabilizing them against possible subsequent misalignment. The base of the clip is adapted to be placed on the top surface of a tile adjacent its edge portion. The integral flange on the clip extends downwardly over the edge of the tile and has prongs extending from each side adapted to penetrate the edge portion of this tile and the adjoining edge portion of an adjacent tile. The clip is installed so that one end is in contact with a wall-mounted support member for the tile to further assure stabilization against misalignment thereof. The design of the clip is such that, if it is dropped or placed on a surface, no potentially dangerous upstanding projections are present.
