ABSTRACT:
A ceiling panel support system in which framed panels are supported by slideable generally "U" shaped brackets at opposite sides of each panel, one leg of each bracket being generally hook-shaped to provide an undersupport for one edge of the panel by engagement with an overhanging portion of the frame extending above the panel and the other leg being arranged to make interlocking engagement with clips slideable in a track at the edge of the frame of an adjacent panel, the clips being moveably positioned on the frame of an adjacent panel for snap supporting engagement thereof. A panel is installed in the system by first hanging the panel vertically from two or more brackets aligned along the edge of the position in which it is to be installed whereupon it can be pivotally swung into installed position in clip-snapped engagement with brackets aligned above the opposite edge of the panel. In addition, the system allows support of panels in any of a wide range of orientations from vertical to horizontal.
