RECONFIGURABLE WALL HANGER MOUNTING SYSTEM
20190316349 · 2019-10-17 ·

A reconfigurable wall hanger mounting system having a plurality of different types of interchangeable wall modules with different types of compatible connection components, each connection component being configured to align with another connection component at an interface. A channel is formed between two connection components in which a support rail or other accessory may be secured to support a ceiling. Another channel is defined by the connection component that can receive other accessories and accessory mounting mechanisms. A door-opening header module may be secured to a connection component so that a flush surface between the support rail, ceiling, and door-opening header module is created across the top of a door-opening in the reconfigurable wall system.

PARTIALLY LIGHTED T-BAR
20190301721 · 2019-10-03 ·

The partially lit T-bar includes a spine with a rest shelf at a lower portion thereof. The rest shelf supports adjacent ceiling tiles. The under surface of the rest shelf includes a lighting module on a portion and a plain unlit undersurface on other portions. Additional T-bars which are shorter, and typically fully lit or fully unlit and half the length of the partially lit T-bar are also provided which can attach at ends or near a midpoint of the partially lit T-bar and typically perpendicularly thereto. A great variety of lighting patterns in a dropped ceiling is thus facilitated. Each of the T-bars preferably also includes a heat sink on an upper portion of the spine and also preferably a lower heat sink on an upper portion of the rest shelf. Heat associated with the light element of the T-bar can thus be drawn away from a space below the ceiling.

LOUDSPEAKER MOUNTING SYSTEM
20190289376 · 2019-09-19 ·

In a dropped ceiling assembly system elements are provided which include an elongate planar shelf held below an elongate spine. The shelf has lateral edges which can support edges of a ceiling tile resting thereon. This spine is configured to be held in position either adjacent to spines of other elements within a dropped ceiling or from above, such as by suspension wires passing through suspension holes in the spine. A compartment is provided on an underside of the shelf which is sized and shaped to receive and hold at least a portion of a loudspeaker therein. The loudspeaker mounting system is thus integrated into the shelf which also acts to hold ceiling tiles within a dropped ceiling.

Airframe system and method of controlling airflow
10405942 · 2019-09-10 · ·

An air frame system includes a frame body defining one or more openings, a plurality of air passages along an inner periphery of the one or more openings, and an airframe grid coupled to the frame body. The airframe grid includes at least one wireway channel therein and a wireway channel cover clip is removably coupled to the at least one wireway channel. The air frame system also includes a light assembly removably coupled to the airframe grid, and a retainer clip removably coupled to the airframe grid. The airframe grid retains the light assembly within the airframe grid.

CEILING SYSTEM AND CEILING BAFFLE THEREOF
20240167274 · 2024-05-23 ·

A ceiling system and a ceiling baffle thereof. The ceiling baffle may include a body portion and at least one locking mechanism. The body portion may have a top edge having a recess that is defined by a floor, a first wall extending from the floor to the top edge, and a second wall extending from the floor to the top edge. The at least one locking mechanism may protrude from the floor of the recess along a longitudinal axis and be spaced apart from the first wall by a first gap and from the second wall by a second gap. The at least one locking mechanism may have a first engagement surface that faces the floor of the recess on a first side of the longitudinal axis and a second engagement surface that faces the floor of the recess on a second side of the longitudinal axis.

CEILING SYSTEMS

A ceiling system in one embodiment includes an overhead support grid comprised of a plurality of intersecting grid support members and a ceiling tile mountable to the grid. Retaining clips support the ceiling tile from the grid which may be concealed from view. The retaining clips each include a cavity that receives a grid support member and a pair of resilient mounting elements configured to lockingly engage a support member. The mounting elements are laterally movable in response to inserting the support member into the cavity of the retaining clip. In one embodiment, the movable elements include locking tabs which create a snap-fit interlock with the grid support member for securing the ceiling tile to the grid.

Scrim attachment system

The present invention is directed to ceiling panels formed from a porous scrim that is coupled to an acoustical substrate using a scrim attachment system that includes an adhesive.

Suspension Ceiling with Parallel Vanes for Building Structures
20190203466 · 2019-07-04 · ·

A suspended ceiling system for a building structure includes a plurality of parallel struts for supporting a plurality of parallel vanes suspended from the struts in perpendicular relationship thereto. The vanes can be suspended in downwardly spaced relationship to the struts or in contiguous relationship therewith and occur in different forms including illuminated vanes, adjustable vanes and the like.

Indirect LED lighting system for a suspended ceiling
10317042 · 2019-06-11 · ·

A T-bar type support extends in elongate form and is configured, such as with a spine and rest shelf, for supporting edges of ceiling tiles thereon within a suspended ceiling system. A lighting module is suspended below other portions of the T-bar. The T-bar also includes a reflector plate above the body which extends at least partially laterally and below where the ceiling tiles are supported. A lighting source within the lighting module shines light upwardly which then reflects off of the reflector plate and down into an interior space beneath the suspended ceiling. Legs preferably suspend the lighting module below the reflector plate, with the legs preferably at ends of the T-bar, and with open space between the legs, so that nothing obstructs light shining from the lighting source up against the reflector plate and then down into the interior space beneath the ceiling.
