ABSTRACT:
A hanger assembly for supporting a vertical load at a selected site flush mounted beneath the underside of a drop ceiling. Comprising the assembly is a pair of bars normally intersecting in T formation and mounted onto the T rails of a lattice framework supporting the individual ceiling panel at the selected site. The bars can be variably positioned so as to intersect at any selected site location and by means of a bracket are permanently secured together with a junction box at the underside of the intersection. The bracket in turn is connected for static loading to a depending chain attached to the building structure above the ceiling and adjustably rendered taut to a predetermined tension by means of a turnbuckle attachment. For supporting an attached load, the load bolts have flat heads with canted ends and depend through apertures in both the top wall and ears of the junction box. The bolt heads cooperate with the junction box so as to prevent both rotational and upward displacement when a load to be supported is being installed.
