Abstract

The present invention is a clip used in the construction of suspended ceiling grid systems for the hanging of drywall or other panels. The clip provides a versatile means of joining two suspended grid beams at various points of transition between two grid beams, such as a transition in the ceiling surface, thus eliminating the need for a different means of joining in each situation.
