ABSTRACT:
A number of ceiling rails are installed under the structural ceiling of a room in a selected array, in a configuration to provide openings between the rails to fit therein ceiling tiles. Brackets are used to support the tiles, the brackets being removably attached to the rails. At least one bracket is used on each side of a tile. The bracket comprises a pair of slots that allow it to be snapped onto the rail, and has a pair of integral laterally projecting load-bearing plates which support a first tile on one side and a pivotable supporting finger which can support a second tile on its opposite side. The pivotable finger pivots between an inoperative position in which is extends along the length of the bracket without laterally projecting therefrom, and an operative position in which it laterally projects beyond the side edge of the bracket. In this operative position, it may support a ceiling tile. A coil spring continuously biases the finger towards its operative position, while a spring blade catch prevents it from being pivoted into its operative position, until a tile to be supported by the finger is pushed by a work person to abut against the catch and releases the finger into pivotal displacement, towards its operative position, in which it will support the tile abutting against the catch.
