A wide wall angle useful in locations of seismic activity to support
ceiling tile and grid tees of a suspended ceiling comprising an assembly
of an elongated base angle and an elongated extension strip, the base
angle having generally perpendicular legs integral with one another and
intersecting at a longitudinally extending corner, one leg being adapted
to be fixed against a wall with the corner down, and the other adapted to
project horizontally from the wall, the extension strip having a face
with greater than the width of the horizontal leg, the extension strip
having a multiple layer construction, two layers of the extension strip
being held together in close parallel relation by an intermediate web
integral with the layers, at least portions of the two layers being
arranged to frictionally engage at least a part of the horizontal leg of
the base angle spaced from the corner such that the strip can be
assembled on and frictionally retained on the horizontal leg of the base
angle, the horizontal leg of the base angle being disposed between the
two layers of the extension strip.
