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 17):
A method of installing a ceiling system comprising:\n a) mounting a spring clip to a longitudinally extending horizontal grid support member that defines a longitudinal axis such that the spring clip is vertically locked to the grid support member while also being movable in opposing directions along the longitudinal axis of the grid support member; b) attaching a ceiling panel to the spring clip via a torsion spring such that the ceiling panel is vertically offset from the horizontal grid support member by a first height; c) horizontally sliding the ceiling panel, the torsion spring, and the spring clip relative to the horizontal grid support member in a direction parallel to the longitudinal axis; and d) pushing the ceiling panel upwards so that the ceiling panel is vertically offset from the horizontal grid support member by a second height that is less than the first height.
