Above the hanging ceiling is desirable and means for convenient removal of the panels must be provided in order to gain access to the space above the suspended ceiling assembly. The use of a hook-shaped tool that is used to grip the individual hangers between Adjacent panels can be pushed in, enables the tool to move downwards in order to detach the hangers from the main P support rails. Detaching the hangers from the main mounting rails allows individual panels to be removed, to gain access to the space above the ceiling system.

Main support rails and hanging brackets or hangers are set forth in U.S. Patent No. 3,271,918. This patent discloses the use of a cutting edge and lever and pivot point action to support the hanging bracket from the main! rail to loosen.

The inventive method for removing the Hanging bracket from the main support rail only involves using a hook-shaped tool to grasp the hanging bracket and exerting a direct downward movement to it remove the hanging bracket from the main support rail.

The suspension support structure modified according to the invention is provided with a device which the hook can grip in order to facilitate the removal of the suspension support. The device to be grasped by the hook can be any have a big shape that provides a surface for the hook to attack. The hook is a flat, thin metal structure that is inserted between two adjacent plates or panels, on which the suspended support is formed. Device on grabs and allows the exercise of a downward-facing craft on the hanging rack *

just folded a small metal section off one of the crosswinds and attached to the second side wall of the vertical The web is bent over.

An alternative structure would use a small plate attached to the undersurface of the hanger support flanges. This support plate ^ can be a part by itself or represent an integral part ^{N of} the end flanges which engage with the main support rail.

Any other type of structure can be used to create a hook-engaging device will.

Several preferred embodiments of the invention are described below and shown in the drawings,

The main support rail, designated as a whole by 25, has two converging side walls 27 and 28 for grasping the ends of the suspension supports or support arms designated as a whole by 14. The latter comprise a vertical web 18 formed from two parallel side walls 19 and 20 and two horizontal flanges 15 and 16 extending outward from the lower end of the vertical web 18 and carry them in the overall ceiling system. The vertical flanges 21 at the end of the suspension brackets 14 snap into place between the side walls 27 and 28 of the main support rail 25. The vertical flange 21 is held between the side walls 27 and 28 of the main support rail with a friction fit.

Fig. 1 and 2 show a first embodiment in which a tab 30 from a portion 31 of the side wall 20 of the side wall is bent over 19 to a part or opening 32. The tab 30 simply bridges the gap between the side walls 19 and 20 of the vertical web 18 in order to create a device which can be gripped by the hook of a dismantling tool 35.

Section 36, which is between two adjacent ceiling panels or panels slides and a hook-shaped part 37 which engages the device 30 provided on the hanging support 14 to to exert the downward force required for its removal from the main support rail 25 on the hanging support.

3 and 4 show another embodiment in which the vertical flange 21 is designed as a body separate from the metal body forming the horizontal flanges 15 and 16 and the vertical web 18. The vertical flange 21 is designed as a separate piece of metal bent at an angle of 90 ° so that it forms a vertical flange part 21 and a horizontal part 40. The horizontal part 40 is attached to the underside of the horizontal flanges 15 and 16. Where the element 40 spans the space between the side walls 19 and 20 of the vertical web 18, a device for engaging by the hook element 37 is formed. As shown in FIG. 4, the hook element 37 engages this section of the element 40 in order to enable the application of force required to remove the hanging support 14 from the main support rail 25.

Other facilities on the hanging bracket for engaging the hook structure can also be created in order to ^! make it easier to remove the hanging trigera from the main support rail * u. 009887/0704
