ARCHITECTURAL FIXTURE CONNECTION SYSTEM
An architectural fixture connection system offers acoustical and aesthetic benefits. This system utilizes modular construction, allowing interconnection of a variety of different beams to form an installation that may attach to a wall or ceiling of a building. This system may be formed of a series of sheets which are formed into beams using securing brackets and attachment brackets, then coupled to one another using a series of joiner brackets. Interconnection between adjacent beams need not be linear, allowing free-form shapes and angles.
CEILING SYSTEM
A grid hanger assembly for mounting a ceiling system to an overhead support structure. The grid hanger assembly may include a mounting bracket having a mounting element and being configured for attachment to the overhead support structure and a hanger member. The hanger member may include an adjustment plate and a coupling member extending from the adjustment plate. The adjustment plate may include a plurality of mounting elements arranged in an axially spaced apart manner. The hanger may be mounted to the mounting bracket in a selected mounting position of a plurality of selectable mounting positions determined by sliding the hanger member relative to the mounting bracket in a direction of the vertical axis until a selected one of the plurality of mounting elements of the hanger member is aligned with the mounting element of the mounting bracket. A fastener may lock the hanger member to the mounting bracket.

FOLDED ARCHITECTURAL PANEL
A folded architectural panel folded from a flat sheet, the panel having opposite longitudinal ends extending in a width direction, opposite lateral sides extending in a length direction and a depth perpendicular to the width and length directions. The panel includes a first downward fold adjacent one longitudinal end, extending in the width direction, and having opposite fold ends at the respective lateral sides of the panel; a second downward fold adjacent the other longitudinal end, extending in the width direction, and having opposite fold ends at the respective lateral sides of the panel; and a central upward fold at a central portion of the panel between the first and second downward folds; the first downward fold, the second downward fold and the central upward fold enable contraction of the opposite end folds towards each other to cause folding of the first and second end folds and an increase in the depth of the panel at the central portion. The panel further includes two pairs of respective side upward folds extending from the four opposite fold ends of the first and second end folds to the central upward fold such that, with contraction of the opposite end folds towards each other, a respective section of each respective lateral side between two respective fold ends contracts inwardly towards the opposite lateral side and a respective sidewall is formed on each respective lateral side of the panel extending from the respective pair of side upward folds in the depth direction.
EDGELIT MULTIFUNCTIONAL LIGHTING ASSEMBLY FOR USE IN A SUSPENDED CEILING SYSTEM
An edgelit multifunctional lighting assembly is configured as a cross tee within a suspended ceiling system and supports at least one ceiling panel and is configurable to produce symmetric and asymmetric targeted light distributions for narrow and wide angle illumination applications.
Anchor assembly
An anchor assembly (10) comprises an anchor (12) comprising a body (15) defining a cavity (16). The anchor (12) further comprises a reinforcing member (18) extending through the cavity (16) and outwardly from the body (15). The anchor assembly (10) further includes an insertion device (14) insertable into the cavity (16). The insertion device (14) comprises a securing member (49) movable between securing and non-securing positions. When the movable securing member (49) is in the securing position in the cavity (16), the securing member (49) can engage the reinforcing member (18) to secure the insertion device (14) to the anchor (12).
Method and apparatus for suspending a package in an elevated position
One embodiment provides a method and apparatus for suspending air conditioning duct works from a support structure comprising unistrut type support beams which apparatus includes a plurality of support brackets arranged and configured for being slidably interlockable with the interior of the unistrut beam members. The support brackets can be slid inside the interior of the support beam until adjacent a support beam which support beam can be connected to the support bracket. In like manner additional support brackets can be inserted into the interior of the support beam members to be adjustably located next to their respective support rod. In such manner multiple support rods can be used to support a frame member even where the support rods are not symmetrically located along the length of the support beam as the support bracket can be slid/moved inside the support beam until lining up with its respective support rod. Additionally, the entire support framework can be moved relative to the plurality of support rods by sliding the framework relative to the support brackets. In such manner the location of the supporting frame member can be changed without moving the support rods.
BUILDING COMPONENT
A building component (1) for attachment to an uneven surface (32) such that a gap (34) exists at one or more locations between the building component (1) and the uneven surface (32), the building component (1) including mounting means (10) located at one or more positions along the building component (1), the mounting means (10) having a portion (20) adapted to be located outside the plane of the building component (1) and between the building component (1) and the uneven surface (32), wherein fastening means attaches the mounting means (10) to the uneven surface (32) to enable the building component (1) to remain substantially straight when attached to the uneven surface (32).
