ABSTRACT:
A metal clip for joining the tiles in a starting row of a suspended ceiling system with their edges which are farthest from the wall in aligned relationship and stabilizing them against possible subsequent misalignment is described. The clip comprises a body member having two planar, longitudinally extending side portions. An intermediate portion joining the side portions has a central portion which is elevated above the plane of the sides. Downwardly projecting prongs are provided adjacent one end of the clip on each side thereof. The opposite end of the clip has no prongs. The clip is installed to overlie the opposing back edges of a pair of adjacent edge-aligned tile, with the end of the clip which has no prongs being in contact with a wall-mounted support member for the tile, and the prongs adjacent the opposite end of the clip being embedded in the back surfaces of the tiles adjacent their edge portions. The tiles are thus joined and stabilized against misalignment.
