Connector support clip for use in an electrified grid framework

Abstract

The invention includes an electrified framework system having a plurality of grid members which form a grid framework. A conductive material is disposed on a surface of at least one of the plurality of grid members as shown throughout the drawings. The system includes connectors which provide electrical connections between the conductive material on the grid framework and various electrical fixtures. The electrified framework system includes a support clip for supporting depending articles suspended from the grid framework into a room space. The support clip does not interfere with the electrical and mechanical actuator controlling the connector and grid interface connection mechanism. The support clip attaches the connector to the grid element such that the connector, and any device attached thereto, will not inadvertently become detached from the grid element during a seismic event.
