ABSTRACT:
A panel and clip construction are disclosed for suspending or for mounting the panel to a conventional T-rail support grid. The panel includes a panel body of a prescribed peripheral configuration. Centering brackets are mountable to the panel grid members about the panel periphery. The centering brackets each include end surfaces for engaging facing edge surfaces of the T-rail. The end surfaces of the centering brackets are positioned on the panel to engage edges of the T-rail and precisely center the panel within a grid opening formed by the T-rails. Clips are selectively provided in the assembly and are spring biased by bracket bases to selectively engage and support the panel from the t-rails. The bracket bases, clips, and centering brackets are selectively assemblable on the panel through openings along top edges thereof. Selectively positioned notches along the top edges serve to locate the end surfaces of the centering brackets and thereby facilitate the centering capabilities of the surfaces.
