  • shoulder portion 40 has a longitudinal extent in the first direction X and extends between its first and second lateral edges 42, 44 in a third direction Z.
  • the clip 30 attached to a ceiling panel beam 10 is illustrated in fig. 6 .
  • the ceiling panel beam 10 has an elongate web portion 100 extending longitudinally in the first direction X.
  • the web portion 100 has opposite respective first and second sides, with the first side 102 showing in fig. 6 .
  • the web portion 100 thus extends both longitudinally in the first direction X and also extends in the second direction Y.
  • the web portion 100 includes a bulb portion 110.
  • the bulb portion 110 is a portion of the web portion 100 of the ceiling panel beam 10 having a greater thickness (in the third direction Z) than the rest of the web portion 100. This may be formed by folding and bending the plate material from which the ceiling panel beam 10 is formed or as part of an extrusion.
  • the bulb portion 110 thus forms a lower wall 112 facing downwardly towards a second longitudinal edge of the web portion 100.
  • the web portion 100 extends from the bulb portion 110, for example the lower wall 112, in the second direction Y to the second longitudinal edge from which flange portions 120, 122 extend.

  • the flange portions 121, 122 are parallel with one another and perpendicular to the web portion 100.
  • Each respective flange portion 120, 122 extends to a free distal edge (away from the second longitudinal edge of the web portion 100). At each respective distal edge, there is formed a respective hem, with the hem 124 of the first flange portion 120 illustrated in fig. 6 .
  • Each hem 124 is thicker than the remainder of its respective flange portion 120. Each hem may be formed by folding the distal edge of the flange portion up and over onto itself or formed as part of an extrusion.
  • the hem 124 provides a wall 126 extending upwardly parallel with the second direction Y and facing the web portion 100, in particular the first side 102.
  • the hem of the other flange portion 122 similarly has a wall extending upwardly parallel with the second direction Y and facing the web portion 100, in particular the second side.

  • the protrusion 52 obstructs movement of the bulb 110 in the second direction Y and prevents the ceiling panel beam 10 from being moved away from the clip 30 in the second direction Y.
  • an additional first protrusion 54 is provided on the other side of the first leg 50 (in the first direction X).
  • the second leg may similarly be provided with a second protrusion 62 spaced from the second lateral edge 44 of the shoulder 40.
  • the second leg 60 may also be provided with an additional second protrusion 64 on the opposite side of the leg 60 in the first direction X.

  • the first leg 50 is flexed resiliently towards the web portion 100 allowing a distal edge 72 of the first locking tab 70 to engage with and abut the wall 126 of the hem 124. Once engaged in this way, the wall 126 of the hem 124 maintains the first leg 50 in its resiliently flexed state.
  • first protrusion 52 (and additional first protrusion 54) is located between the first locking tab 70 and the first lateral edge 42 of the shoulder 40 (about which the first leg 50 flexes), the first protrusion 52 (and additional first protrusion 54) is pressed resiliently towards and against the first side 102 of the web portion 100 beneath (to one side of) the bulb portion 110.
  • the first protrusion 52 is configured to bite into the first side 102 of the web portion 100 facing the first leg 50.

  • the first protrusion 52 is pressed against and bites into the first side 102 of the web portion 100, optionally the lower wall 112, it resists movement of the clip 30 relative to the web portion 100 in the first direction.
  • a user may position a clip 30 appropriately along a ceiling panel beam 10, flex the first leg 50 so as to engage the first locking tab 70 against the wall 126 of the corresponding hem 124 and, thereby, secure the clip 30 at its position along the ceiling panel beam 10.
  • Both the first protrusion 52 and the additional first protrusion 54 will resist movement in both opposite directions parallel to the first direction X.
  • one of the first protrusion and the additional first protrusion may be angled partly in one of the opposite directions and the other angled in partly the other of the opposite directions. In this way, one of the first protrusion and the additional first protrusion may be more effective in resisting movement in one direction and the other more effective in resisting movement in the other direction. In particular, movement in one direction will cause the respective protrusion to dig into the side of the web portion 100, rather than drag beside it.
  • the second leg 60 is similarly provided with a second locking tab 80 with a distal edge 82 for engaging with the wall of the hem of the second flange 122.
  • the second leg 60 may be flexed resiliently towards the first leg 50 and the web portion 100 and engaged with the respective wall of the respective hem so that the second leg 60 is held resiliently towards the web portion 100 and its respective second protrusion 62 (and additional second protrusion 64) held pressing against and biting into the respective second side of the web portion 100, optionally the lower wall 112 of the bulb portion.
  • the clip is provided not only with a first locking tab 70a with a distal edge 72a, but also an additional first locking tab 70b with a distal edge 72b (illustrated in fig. 8(b) to be discussed below).
