This invention relates to a suspended ceiling, comprising a metal grid structure and a plurality of drop-in ceiling panels supported by the metal grid structure. Each of the ceiling panels includes a thermal conductive metal substrate, a heat insulating coating formed on the top surface of the metal substrate, and a thermal conductive ceramic coating formed on the bottom surface of the metal substrate. The heat insulating coating is provided to prevent heat generated in a plenum space between the dropped ceiling and a actual ceiling from traveling down to the room below the dropped ceiling. And, the thermal conductive ceramic coating is provided to enhance a heat transfer capability of the metal substrate. As such, the ceiling panels can facilitate rapid cooling of an air-conditioned room.

A ceiling system comprises a pair of spaced overhead longitudinal grid support members and a light-weight ceiling panel suspended therefrom. The panel may be an acoustical honeycomb panel in one embodiment. Localized elongated reinforced areas or sections are formed on the top facing which support a plurality of hangers mounted on each section. The reinforced sections coincide in arrangement with the layout of the support members and structurally strengthen the top facing in select areas. In one embodiment, each reinforced section may comprise a stiffening spline attached to the top facing. The ceiling panel is hung from the grid support members via the hangers and reinforced sections. Fasteners may be used to attach the hangers to the reinforced sections which resist pullout when the panel is hung. In certain embodiments, the reinforced sections extend longitudinally through a central portion of the panel to prevent sagging between the panel sides.

A suspension system for a suspended ceiling includes, in an installed state, a primary profile which substantially extends in a first horizontal direction, one or more suspension elements for the suspension of the primary profile, a secondary profile which extends in a substantially second horizontal direction and which is configured to support ceiling plates, a coupling bracket for the coupling of the primary profile to the secondary profile. The coupling bracket includes a main body which couples to the primary profile; two coupling legs which extend from the main body and which connect to the secondary profile; and a positioning element which is configured to work with the primary profile to position the coupling bracket in relation to the primary profile.

A ceiling system for under-deck installation includes ceiling panels and retaining clips. Each ceiling panel has a first interlocking bracket and an oppositely spaced second interlocking bracket formed along the sides of the ceiling panel. The ceiling system is installed by installing a number of retaining clips along the length of the second interlocking bracket of a panel and then inserting the first interlocking bracket of the next panel in the second interlocking bracket of the first panel so that the retaining clips secure an edge of the first interlocking bracket of the next panel. Subsequent ceiling panels are connected in this manner to form the ceiling panel system.

A ceiling system including vertically oriented panel structures. The ceiling system may include a panel structure having first and second exposed major surfaces and a peripheral edge. A first mounting element may be coupled to the panel structure. The first mounting element may include a first portion embedded between the first and second exposed major surfaces of the panel structure and a second portion protruding from the peripheral edge of the panel structure. The second portion of the first mounting element may include a connection feature for attaching to an overhead support member. Each panel structure may have two of the mounting elements coupled thereto, and each of the mounting elements may be configured for attachment to a different overhead support member. A plurality of the panel structures may be vertically suspended from the overhead support members.

This invention relates generally to a lock for securing clips used to hold a panel to a wall or ceiling. It includes a panel assembly covering a back surface of a ceiling with a panel, comprising: the panel held face to face with the back surface by a link between a first clip and a second clip; a lock for securing the clips linked together comprising a shim and a flexible wedge connected together; at least a first fastener which connects the wedge to the back surface at a location outside the perimeter of the panel; wherein the shim intermediate the wedge and the back surface is movable to a first position outside of the perimeter to unlock the link to remove the panel from the back surface and in a second configuration the shim is located inside the perimeter where the link is locked to prevent removal of the panel.

A clip (3) for use in a suspension system for the vertically suspended acoustic baffles (2) and a frame element (4) for the acoustic baffle is provided in a suspended ceiling system. The clip and frame facilitate multiple connection options for a vertically suspended acoustic baffle in a single system.

An elongate acoustic panel for installation in an interior space comprising at least one acoustic surface, an edge region adjacent to the at least one acoustic surface, and a distribution of one or more LED's along the edge region.

A panel assembly for a suspended ceiling system, an adjustable corner bracket thereof, and a method of assembling such a panel assembly. The panel assembly may include a ceiling panel having a groove in its rear surface, a plurality of suspension bars disposed within the groove along the sides thereof, and a plurality of corner brackets disposed within the groove along the corners thereof. The corner brackets may include a first arm portion extending along a first arm axis and a second arm portion extending along a second arm axis. The corner brackets may be adjustable to alter an angle measured between the first and second arm axes so that the corner brackets may be used in different grooves having different shapes.

The present disclosure generally relates to lighting assemblies, and more specifically, to a configurable modular lighting assembly for use within a ceiling grid system. The lighting assembly is easy to install and delivers lighting distributions tailored to optimally illuminate the surface ceiling panels as well as floors, walls and work surfaces below. The configurable modular ceiling grid lighting assembly comprises both standard ceiling grid components such as T-Bar, ceiling panels and suspension cables as well as novel linear support elements with integrated or removable optical assemblies and covering elements. When installed the ceiling grid lighting assembly provided further comprises ceiling panels that are held in-line, above, below or tilted relative to the existing ceiling grid plane and as such provide both aesthetically pleasing features and useful lighting distributions. Further embodiments illustrate how both appearance and lighting distributions can be controlled by selectively applying electrical power to individual light source channels.
