Abstract:
A ceiling system in one embodiment includes an overhead support grid comprised of a plurality of intersecting grid support members and a ceiling tile mountable to the grid. Retaining clips support the ceiling tile from the grid which may be concealed from view. The retaining clips each include a cavity that receives a grid support member and a pair of resilient mounting elements configured to lockingly engage a support member. The mounting elements are laterally movable in response to inserting the support member into the cavity of the retaining clip. In one embodiment, the movable elements include locking tabs which create a snap-fit interlock with the grid support member for securing the ceiling tile to the grid.

Claim (Index 73):
A retaining clip attachable to a grid support member of a ceiling system for supporting a ceiling tile, the retaining clip comprising:\n a longitudinal axis; a planar mounting base configured for embedded attachment in the ceiling tile, the mounting base; opposing recurvate ends located at opposite ends of the mounting base, the recurvate ends each defining an engagement protrusion extending outwards transversely to the longitudinal axis, a bottom section of the mounting base extending horizontally between the recurvate ends; a pair of longitudinally extending opposing upright mounting wings configured for locking engagement with the grid support member, the mounting wings extending upwards from the recurvate ends of the mounting base and being spaced apart to define an upwardly open cavity configured to receive the grid support member at least partially therein; the mounting wings being resiliently deformable and transversely movable between undeflected and deflected positions; and a locking feature disposed on each mounting wing extending into the cavity and arranged to engage a top surface of the grid support member when in a mounted position.
