Patent ID: 8397458

Claim:
In combination, a suspended ceiling wall angle and a bracket made of sheet metal, the bracket attached to the ceiling wall angle and to a wall such that the wall angle is attached to the wall via the bracket at an angle corresponding to a slope of a ceiling, wherein a generally triangular gap is created between the wall and the bracket, the bracket being stamped with a generally rectangular profile and a generally flat configuration, the bracket including a bend line along the bracket's longitudinal direction in a mid-zone of the profile that divides the bracket into major and minor sections, the bend line being formed by a weakened area in the sheet metal, such that when the bracket is bent at the bend line the major and minor sections are oriented in different planes that intersect at the bend line with an angle determined by the slope of the ceiling, and a plurality of screw receiving holes in each of said major and minor sections for attaching the bracket to the ceiling wall angle or the wall, the bracket including a pair of integral cantilevered ceiling wall angle engaging tabs on each of said major and minor sections, both tabs of each pair of tabs of each of said major and minor sections extending in a common direction generally parallel to a plane of the respective major or minor section and away from a respective web of attachment with the respective major or minor section, the webs of attachments of both tabs of each pair of tabs lying in and along a common line parallel to the bend line.
