<p>ASSEMBLY CLIP FOR CEILING PANELS of the Invention A multiple-purpose assembly clip for assembly of radiant ceiling panels and/or for flattening bowed radiant ceiling panels. The clip uses a "twist-lock" technique. In a first rotational position the clip is positioned over the panels. The clip is then rotated about an axis perpendicular to the panels to a second rotational position to cause flanges on the clip to engage corresponding channels on the panels, thereby to urge adjacent panels together. A "mirror image" clip is also used which twists in the opposite direction for locking. The clip includes a central cut-out in a U-shaped member to form defined flanges and edges. The cut-out is dimensioned so that as an alternative to use for locking adjacent panels (where the cut-out fits over edge connections of the panels) it can fit over a fluidcarrying tube mounted on the rear of the panel. This permits the clip to be mounted wholly on one ceiling panel for flattening the panel.</p> |
