SYSTEM, METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR WALL SUPPORT OF CEILING SUSPENSION GRID
A wall support for a ceiling support grid with grid members is disclosed. Each grid member can have a top with a bulb, a web extending downward from the bulb, and a bottom with a flange extending from the web opposite the bulb. Examples of the wall support may include a bracket having a C-shaped channel with a back, a lower flange at a lower end of the back, and an upper flange at an upper end of the back. In addition, the bracket may include only one tab in the lower flange for each grid member. The only one tab may be configured to engage and retain the flange of a respective grid member. The grid member may rest on the lower flange. The lower flange may have no other features for positive engagement with and retention of the flange of the respective grid member.
Cross runner connector and cross runner connector arrangement for a suspended ceiling system
A cross runner connector for a suspended ceiling system (1) comprising a main runner (10) being provided with an opening (11) for reception of the cross runner connector and having a circumference defining an opening notch (12); and a cross runner (30), the cross runner connector comprising a guiding lip (41) and a locking lip (42) separated by a slit (43) and extending in the longitudinal direction (P2) of the cross runner connector, the guiding lip (41) having a guide edge portion (44) provided with a guide lip notch (45) and a distal guide tip (46) being offset in a first lateral direction (P3) such that the cross runner connector is laterally displaceable in the first lateral direction (P3) in response to insertion of the cross runner connector into the opening (11) of the main runner (10) with the guide edge portion (44) positioned in the opening notch (12) of the opening (11), and the locking lip (42) having a locking protrusion (48) protruding in the first lateral direction (P3). The invention further relates to a cross runner connector arrangement comprising the cross runner connector and a main runner.
CEILING SYSTEM AND METHOD OF INSTALLATION
A ceiling system is provided for use in a building space. The ceiling system has an open cell grid structure and is attached to a support structure of the building via hanging hardware. The open cell grid structure is constructed of a plurality of first panels attached to the hanging hardware, a plurality of second panels attached to the plurality of first panels, and a plurality of third panels attached to the plurality of second panels. The first, second, and third panels are attached via a plurality of slots which allow secure engagement and utilize gravity to retain them in the assembled condition. Beneficially, the plurality of second panels and the plurality of third panels are free of hanging hardware.
Ceiling framework
A ceiling framework includes main beams and cross beams, which are connected to one another and transversally to one another by connectors borne by one type of beams among the main beams and the cross beams, and engaged in apertures made in the other type of beams among the main beams and the cross beams, so as to receive tiles. For each beam having the apertures, the apertures are marked with symbols on each face of the beam, the symbols marked on each face being repeated sequentially over the length of the beam, the period of the sequences of symbols on each face being equal to a given tile size. The marking is the same on either face of the beam, starting with the same symbol on each left-hand or right-hand end for each observed face.
Strut with non-structural infill
An elongated structural ceiling grid member including an open-ended upper portion, an open-ended lower portion, and first and second flanges. The open-ended upper section is formed by a floor and a first set of second parallel and spaced sidewalls extending from and substantially perpendicular to the floor. The open-ended upper portion has an opening opposite the floor and defined by the first and second parallel and spaced sidewalls. The open-ended lower portion is formed by a ceiling and a second set of parallel and spaced sidewalls that extend from and are substantially perpendicular to the ceiling. The open-ended lower portion has a second opening opposite the ceiling and defined by the third and fourth parallel and spaced sidewalls. The first flange is attached to and extends perpendicular to the third parallel and spaced sidewall and the second flange is attached to and extends perpendicular to the fourth parallel and spaced sidewall.

CEILING MODULE
A ceiling module and method of constructing the same, the ceiling module mountable on a suspended ceiling grid structure and including a plurality of elongate blade members, at least a part of faces of at least two blade members being substantially mutually opposed, at least one elongate cross member extending at least between at least two blade members such that the plurality of blade members are connected to form an arrangement; and at least one support member, releasably engageable with the suspended grid ceiling structure and associated with at least one of the blade members to support the plurality of blade members from the suspended ceiling grid structure.
BRACKET ASSEMBLY FOR FIRE SPRINKLER SUPPORT ASSEMBLY
A bracket assembly includes an inner plate defining a first end and a second end opposite the first end; an outer plate defining a first end and a second end opposite the first end, the outer plate substantially parallel with the inner plate; a first member extending from the second end of the inner plate, the first member defining a first free end distal to the inner plate; and a second member extending from the second end of the outer plate, the second member defining a second free end distal to the outer plate; wherein at least one of the first free end and the second free end is angled away from the other of the first free end and the second free end, such that a distance between the first member and the second member increases towards the first and second free ends.
PARTITION SUPPORT STRUCTURE MOUNTING TRACK
The track is elongate such that it extends along a longitudinal axis. The track comprises an alignment feature located at a predetermined alignment position along the longitudinal axis of the track. The alignment feature is configured to secure a partition support member at the alignment position when the partition support member is received by the track. The alignment feature comprises one of a projection or recess configured to engage with the other of a projection or recess of the partition support member.
Suspended ceiling pass through grid connector
A pass through grid connector clip for a suspended ceiling. The grid connector clip is made of two identical halves connected back-to-back by a fastener passing through a first aperture of both identical halves or other joining method. The identical halves each have a web with a first side and an opposite second side defining a height; a third side and an opposite fourth side defining a length; a louver element closer to a fourth side than the third side; a half sleeve located between the clip and the louver element and extending from the first side to the second side the in a substantially semi-circular shape; the first aperture located between the half sleeve and the clip or the half sleeve and the louver element. The halves include a clip connected to the third side and two flanges projecting in substantially the same direction from opposite sides of the web. As a result, when the halves are joined back-to-back they form a pass through sleeve.
