ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for supporting a member from a drop-tile ceiling is characterized by a decorative escutheon having a recess therein sized to receive a resilient grasping element and to guide the grasping element for movement against the bias of its resiliency from a first, open, to a second, grasping, position. In one embodiment the grasping element has a threaded extension extending therefrom which is engaged by a hook structure such that engagement of the hook with the threaded extension draws the grasping element into the recess to move the grasping element from the open to the grasping position. In another embodiment, the grasping member has a threaded nut thereon which receives a threaded element insertable into the escutheon such that progressive threaded engagement draws the grasping element into the recess to move it from the open to the grasping position.
