Abstract
A ceiling support clip formed of wire and adapted to be removably secured to a ceiling post comprising a spring loop at one end of the clip, with a pair of arms diverging forwardly from the loop to provide finger grips. Each arm includes a lower section extending outwardly from the loop, and an upper section being extended in forwardly converging relation and crossing adjacent the front end thereof, with gripping jaws formed on the front ends of the upper sections and including a gripping element extending in a plane substantially normal to the plane of the arms and adapted to move towards and away from each other as the arms are compressed and released to engage the ceiling post and suspend the support clip therefrom. Each jaw includes a bridge section extending angularly from the front end to one end of the gripping element and a tail section extending angularly from the other end of the gripping element and terminating in a free end.
