Abstract

A system for supporting a suspended ceiling and for supporting fixtures below the suspended ceiling. The suspended ceiling includes an inverted, T-shaped grid of structural members. A mounting clip is provided that comprises two parts. A first, fixed part includes a first, horizontal leg, a second leg that depends from the first leg, and a third leg depending from the second leg. A second, reversible part comprises a central body with first and second ends. The central body includes either a locating hook or an aperture at each of the first and second ends that mates with a corresponding complementarily-shaped locating hook or aperture on the first and third legs of the first part of the clip. The second part of the mounting clip is also relieved adjacent each end. The relieved portions are of different shapes from each other so that the mounting clip can accommodate differently-shaped structural members.
