ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to an improved device for supporting an object from a flanged ceiling supporting member of the type conventionally used in drop tile ceilings. More specifically, the device is adapted to cooperate with a ceiling panel supporting member having oppositely extending flanges which are provided with upper ceiling panel supporting surfaces. Briefly, the supporting device is of one-piece resilient construction and comprises a loop portion for receiving and holding an object supporting element, such as a suspension cord, and also comprises crossed legs formed integral with the loop portion of the device. The crossed legs have ends which are adapted to be spread apart by compressing the loop portion of the device against the inherent resiliency of the device, whereby the edges of the supporting member flanges may be received within the leg ends. The leg ends terminate in tips which extend toward each other and are adapted to move toward each other under the influence of the inherent resiliency of the device to overlie the supporting surfaces of the supporting member flanges when the compression force on the loop portion of the device is removed.
