ABSTRACT:
A first ceiling panel supporting stringer1has an insertion hole10formed through a main plate portion4thereof, and a second ceiling panel supporting stringer has a base plate portion21extending from an end thereof and having a forward end engageable with one side of the main plate portion4of the first ceiling panel supporting stringer1, and a connecting projection22extending from the forward end of the base plate portion21. The connecting projection22has a U-shaped rise24, which is provided with a reinforcing rib31for improved strength. The first and second ceiling panel supporting stringers can be unseparably connected by pressingly inserting the connecting projection22of the second ceiling panel supporting stringer1through the insertion hole10of the first ceiling panel supporting stringer1without special skills. Also, the U-shaped rise24can be formed by swaging without preprocessing such as bending, so that the production process of the ceiling panel supporting stringer1can be facilitated, enhancing production efficiency and reducing production costs.
