A trapezium and like structure spring metal hanger clip includes two upwardly extending legs which are interconnected at their lower ends by a short bottom section. One leg at its top includes a generally horizontal arm extending toward the top of the other leg and adapted to be positioned through a hole in the top of the other leg. The horizontal arm is generally channel shape in sectional configuration and the upper edge includes serrations adapted to engage the upper edge of the hole in the top of the other leg, to prevent the clip from being sprung open without the other leg moving upwardly with respect to the arm. The clip may be sprung open in one form and the horizontal arm inserted through the trapezium and like structure and into the hole at the top of the other leg. In this manner both legs are supported by the horizontal arm. In another form, the clip is already open. A nut is snapped into place between the legs at the lower end and held against vertical movement and rotation. The tapped hole of the nut is aligned with a hole in the short bottom section, so that a threaded rod may be inserted into the nut from below without a ladder.
A construction hanger comprising a pair of upwardly diverging legs interconnected at their lower ends by a short bottom section from which a load is hung, one leg at its upper end including a generally horizontal arm extending toward the top of the other leg, a hole in the top of the other leg, and said arm being adapted to extend through said hole in the top of said other leg whereby both legs are supported by the arm when the arm is inserted through a fixed structure and into said hole at the top of said other leg.
A construction hanger comprising a pair of upwardly diverging legs interconnected at their lower ends and including means at their upper ends to support said hanger from a fixed structure, and a short bottom section interconnecting said legs at their lower ends, a vertical hole in said bottom section, and means on said hanger at the lower end of said legs to capture and retain a nut on said bottom section with the tapped hole of the nut aligned with said vertical hole, whereby a rod may be threaded into said nut from below, one leg at its upper end including a horizontal arm extending toward the top of the other leg, a hole at the top of said other leg, and said arm being adapted to extend through said hole at the top of said other leg whereby both legs may be supported by the arm when the arm is inserted through a fixed structure and said hole at the top of said other leg.
