Abstract:
1. A sheet metal clip for attaching U-molding to a grid tee in parallel alignment, the clip having lower and upper extensions projecting substantially perpendicular from an intermediate center section, the lower extension being adapted to fit below a flange of the grid tee, the upper extension being adapted to snap fully over an upper side of and lock onto a hollow reinforcing bulb of the grid tee when the lower extension is in contact with the flange of the grid tee and the center section is moved towards a side of the grid tee, the lower and upper extensions each having surfaces facing away from the center section, the clip being constructed to be received in a U-molding longitudinally aligned with the grid tee and having flanges spaced apart a distance substantially equal to a spacing of said extension surfaces whereby said extension surfaces are adapted to lock onto inside edges of inside hems of flanges of the U-molding when it is slipped over the clip, the clip having sides adapted to abut a web of the grid tee under the hollow reinforcing bulb.
