Abstract

The interlocked clips hold the ceiling panel without fasteners holding the clips together. The interlocked clips restrain movement of the ceiling panel in the lateral and downward directions. The ceiling panel mounting clip includes a base having a front end, a rear end, and lateral edges. An arm projects away from the base with the arm having a lower end, an upper end, and lateral edges. The arm defines an opening through one of its lateral edges with the arm having a lower edge, an upper edge, and a central edge that define the boundaries of the opening. A lock tab projects from an upper portion of the arm away from the opening.
