Lighting Arrangement for a Suspended Ceiling Grid System Containing Decorative Co-Planar Ceiling Components
20170350119 · 2017-12-07 · ·

A method of creating a sculpted decorative ceiling with lighting fixtures in a suspended ceiling grid utilizing ceiling components constructed with structural side elements and a floor, forming a cavity that extends downward three to five inches. Each individual component has a perimeter installation flange enabling it to be installed into a new or existing ceiling grid system cell. The said components esthetic contours and functional structural side elements, as well as the size of the perimeter installation flange create space(s) between installed components, throughout an entire ceiling arrangement of said components or in specific areas of arrangements of said components, for luminesce channel(s) in which may be positioned one or more lighting fixtures, or combinations of lighting fixtures, attached to the room facing surfaces of the cross tee or main runner flanges that comprise the ceiling grid structural assembly. Components may have floor perimeter shapes approximately equal in area to the entire ceiling grid cell, or they may have floors perimeter shapes occupying only part of the ceiling grid cell with a filler section at right angles to the structural side elements of the component that extend co-planer to the perimeter installation flange. Ceiling components can come in a variety of floor profile shapes allowing the construction of a wide variety of arrangements in the suspended ceiling grid. The side panels and the floor can be created with a wide variety of decorative surfaces.

Assemblies and methods for aligning and leveling tiles
09834943 · 2017-12-05 · ·

A method and assembly for laying and leveling adjacent tiles. The assembly includes a base member having a bottom plate and a cam tool. The cam tool is pivotally combined with the base member so that the cam tool rotates relative to the base member about an axis of rotation. The cam tool has a handle combined with a cam member. The cam member has a tile engaging surface around its outer periphery with a first portion that is a first distance from the axis of rotation and a second portion that is a second distance from the axis of rotation. Rotation of the cam tool around the axis of rotation causes the distance between the tile engaging surface and the bottom plate to change. One or more tiles is adapted to be placed between the tile engaging surface of the cam member and the bottom plate of the base member. The tiles are compressed between the tile engaging surface and the bottom plate as the cam tool is rotated to a desired position.
