First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

That which is claimed is: 1. A bracket assembly comprising: a main body, the main body comprising a first set of seating members extending downwards from the main body; and a support arm extending laterally outward from the main body, the support arm comprising: a shaft oriented perpendicular to the main body, and a second set of seating members extending downwards from the shaft; and wherein the support arm further comprises a set of clamp members extending upwards from the shaft. 2. The bracket assembly of claim 1 , wherein the first set of seating members extend from an outer perimeter of the main body. 3. The bracket assembly of claim 1 , wherein the set of clamp members is configured to receive and support a sprinkler drop. 4. The bracket assembly of claim 1 , wherein the main body defines a central opening. 5. The bracket assembly of claim 4 , wherein the central opening includes a laterally extending irregularity and is snail-shaped. 6. The bracket assembly of claim 1 , wherein the support arm is configured to attach directly to a ceiling grid support element, and wherein the main body is configured to attach directly to a suspension frame. 7. A bracket assembly comprising: a main body, the main body comprising a first set of seating members extending downwards from the main body; and a support arm extending laterally outward from the main body, the support arm comprising: a shaft oriented perpendicular to the main body, and a second set of seating members extending downwards from the shaft; and wherein the main body defines a central opening, and wherein the central opening includes a laterally extending irregularity and is snail-shaped. 8. The bracket assembly of claim 7 , wherein the first set of seating members extend from an outer perimeter of the main body. 9. The bracket assembly of claim 7 , wherein the support arm is configured to attach directly to a ceiling grid support element, and wherein the main body is configured to attach directly to a suspension frame.
