Claims (3)

a peripheral pocket having the shape of an inverted generally rectangular channel having a top wall and an inner wall depending vertically from said top wall; and said inner wall having a longitudinal channel bounded at the top and bottom by opposing slots. A connector clip having an outer surface and first and second legs that are integral with each other and intersect along a line at right angles, the first legs of said legs intersecting said opposing slots a connector clip captured within, a second of said legs being cantilevered by said first leg, said second leg having an inclined through slot; a grid runner end abutting the side of a leg, and the sloped slot and the inside of the grid runner end acting as a cam follower along the sloped through slot for lifting the grid runner end . and wherein the second leg is positioned through the fastener in the sole of the grid runner end when the grid runner end is displaced horizontally with respect to the inner wall. wherein the line of intersection of the first and second legs is at least as long as the majority of the distance between the slots, thereby supporting the grid runner ends A combination wherein said first leg substantially resists sagging of said second leg. The first leg is configured with a resilient bias point formed by a slot through the first leg and adapted to longitudinally self-lock the clip within the channel. , a combination according to claim 1. said inner walls are horizontally spaced from said opposing slots and configured to be penetrated by fasteners that secure a bracket to a stiffening rib while avoiding penetration of said inner walls by fasteners; 2. The combination of claim 1, including integral stiffening ribs .
