A one piece, sheet metal hanger clip for supporting a grid system member of a suspended ceiling frame from an overhead superstructure. The hanger clip can be utilized in various structural arrangements for suspending grid system members or runners having substantially horizontal flange means for supporting ceiling tile pieces and an upstanding web means with a surmounting bead thereon, the latter being employed to cooperatively engage with the hanger clip of the present invention. In one mode of use, a tongue means protruding from the upper end of the hanger clip is adapted to be engaged within the surface of a non-metallic superstructural framing member which would be formed of wood, for example. After engaging such tongue for initial placement of the hanger clip, both hands of a workman are then free to install a nail through an appropriate hole in the hanger clip to permanently secure the hanger clip to the wooden framing member. The other end of the hanger clip includes appropriate hook means for a locking engagement with the beaded portion of the grid member. In a second mode of use, a plurality of hanger clips may be connected together in end to end fashion so as to provide an elongated hanger clip in composite form for those applications in which such a longer length hanger clip would be necessary. In a third mode of use, the hanger clip of the present invention may be placed over a structural framing member in straddling fashion and connected to the beaded portion of a grid system runner disposed therebelow. In this embodiment, hook means on each end of the hanger clip are employed for connection to the beaded portion.
