ABSTRACT:
A hold-down clip for holding panels on inverted T-shaped members in a suspended ceiling characterized by a U-shaped one-piece member having a bight portion interconnecting two leg portions. Each of the leg portions, along an edge, has an inwardly bent flange with a plurality of teeth aligned with the teeth in the opposite leg portion and each of the leg portions has a foot portion adjacent the free end for engaging and holding the panel on the flanges of the T-shaped member. To increase the rigidity of the bight portion, it is preferably provided with two spaced embossments that extend into adjacent portions of each of the leg portions.
