Abstract:
Described herein is a ceiling system that includes a spring clip for mounting ceiling panels equipped with torsion springs to a ceiling support grid, the clip comprising: a body including a mounting portion defining a downwardly open receptacle configured for attachment to a ceiling grid support member; a pair of lateral flanges extending outwards from the mounting portion, at least one of the flanges including a slot configured to engage a torsion spring; a pair locking tabs disposed on the spring clip, the locking tabs configured to engage opposing sides of the grid support member.

Claim (Index 9):
A ceiling system comprising:\n a longitudinally extending grid support member defining a longitudinal axis; a ceiling panel; a torsion spring mounted on the ceiling panel; and a spring clip engaging and retaining the torsion spring; wherein the spring clip is mounted on the grid support member such that the spring slip is slideably movable in opposing directions along the longitudinal axis while also being vertically locked to the grid support member; and wherein the ceiling panel can be altered between a first vertical state and a second vertical state while the spring slip is vertically locked to the grid support member, the first vertical state having the ceiling panel located beneath the spring clip by a first vertical distance and the second vertical state having the ceiling panel located beneath the spring clip by a second vertical distance, the first and second vertical distances being different.
