ABSTRACT:
A clip provides a method for securing suspended ceiling tees to each other at an angle, especially but not necessarily at an angle other than a right angle. The clip has a body portion, an integral first tab portion projecting from one end of the body portion, an integral second tab portion projecting from the other end of the body portion, and preferably two integral tongue portions projecting from the body portion along either side of the second tab portion. The connection is effected by cutting the end of the first tee to the desired angle, if it is not already at that angle, then punching a vertical slot in the web portion of the first tee at a specified distance from the cut end of the first tee, then inserting the first tab in that slot and folding it and the clip against the web portion, then folding the tongue portions around the end of the tee to secure the clip to the tee, then inserting and securing the second tab portion in a vertical slot punched in the web portion of the second tee at the desired connection location. The clip preferably has a hole therethrough in the area of the first tab portion, and a slot through the second tab portion, thereby weakening those areas to facilitate bending.
