Abstract
The present invention comprises an elongated plastic hook assembly for the support of a sign or the like from an anchor secured to an elongated ceiling tile support member. The elongated hook assembly includes an elongated shaft having a first or upper end and a second or lower end with a first connection means arranged at the first or upper end of the elongated shaft and a hook member arranged at the second or lower end of the elongated shaft. The hook member and the elongated shaft have an annular locking segment connectively arranged therebetween. A web extends across the hook member to provide line of support for any further hook assembly saddled thereon, to minimize movement between any hook assemblies so connected.
