A T-bar partition support clip for securing a rectangular channel shaped partition track to a T-bar ceiling support includes first and second spaced, parallel, vertical leg portions formed from a deformable sheet metal material. Upper ends of the first and second vertical leg portions are perpendicularly connected to coplanar first and second horizontal leg portions. The first and second horizontal leg portions are connected by a vertically extending clip portion possessing vertical sidewalls connected by a top web. A pair of juxtaposed inwardly extending protuberances are formed by punch indentations in central regions of the vertical sidewalls. The vertical sidewalls converge inwardly and downwardly from a maximum lateral separation adjacent the web to a minimum lateral separation adjacent junctions of the vertical sidewalls with the first and second horizontal leg portions. In use the clip portion is inserted over a top ridge of a T-bar ceiling support with the protuberances in engagement with a reduced neck portion of the T-bar ceiling support. Free ends of the vertical leg portions are manually deformed around sidewalls of the partition track to secure the track to the T-bar support. The support clip allows the operation to be rapidly and inexpensively performed without tools and without marring the surface finish of the T-bar ceiling support.
