ABSTRACT:
A suspended ceiling system has a plurality of ceiling panels and a plurality of clips holding the ceiling panels to the ceiling runners. Each ceiling panel has two opposed surfaces and four sides with at least two sides having an extended edge each of which are substantially perpendicular to one of the opposed surfaces. Each extended edge has at least one protruding lip.
The upper portion of each clip has a flange to attach the clip to a ceiling surface by suitable means which goes through the flange and penetrates the ceiling. The lower portion of each clip has two opposed, protruding members which are substantially perpendicular to the ceiling surface when the clip is attached to the ceiling. At least one of the protruding members has a groove shaped to receive the protruding lip of the ceiling panel. The protruding members of the clip are set far enough apart to allow the extended edge of at least one ceiling panel to be inserted between the members with the protruding lip on the extended edge of the panel fitting into the groove on the protruding member of the clip to thereby fix the ceiling panel to the clip attached to the ceiling.
