Abstract:
A cross runner connector for a suspended ceiling system (1) comprising a main runner (10) being provided with an opening (11) for reception of the cross runner connector and having a circumference defining an opening notch (12); and a cross runner (30), the cross runner connector comprising a guiding lip (41) and a locking lip (42) separated by a slit (43) and extending in the longitudinal direction (P2) of the cross runner connector, the guiding lip (41) having a guide edge portion (44) provided with a guide lip notch (45) and a distal guide tip (46) being offset in a first lateral direction (P3) such that the cross runner connector is laterally displaceable in the first lateral direction (P3) in response to insertion of the cross runner connector into the opening (11) of the main runner (10) with the guide edge portion (44) positioned in the opening notch (12) of the opening (11), and the locking lip (42) having a locking protrusion (48) protruding in the first lateral direction (P3). The invention further relates to a cross runner connector arrangement comprising the cross runner connector and a main runner.
