Abstract

A hanger clip construction adapted for use with overhead members, such as the T-bars of suspended ceilings, includes a first arm having first and second ends and a second arm having first and second ends. A first hinge connects the first arm second end to the second arm first end. A spring member is secured at a first end by a second hinge to the first arm and at a second end by a third hinge to the second arm. The spring maintains the first and second arms in one of two stable end positions of the hanger clip. The spring is in tension only when the first and second arms are between the two stable end positions. In one of the stable end positions, the first arm first end and the second arm second end extend over side edges of the overhead member to secure the hanger clip thereto.
