Ceiling grid structural member and ceiling grid assembly
A ceiling grid strut is provided that includes a rail and a strut channel that is integral to the rail. A ceiling grid assembly is provided that includes a first ceiling grid strut, a second ceiling grid strut, a first threaded fastener, a second threaded fastener, and a connector.
Modular ceiling system
A structural grid support system adapted for transferring seismic loads to the vertical structural supports of a modular structure. The system includes larger and longer high load capacity main runners with mechanically fastened cross tees, which transfer seismic forces without failing. The structural grid can provide a diaphragm using mechanically fastened connections in a single horizontal plane without requiring additional overhead support from the roof deck, or requiring fewer such supports. The main runners may include additional connecting elements disposed within the usable space beneath the runner (e.g., ventral threaded receivers) for attaching deployment-specific equipment or hardware, such as network cable trays.
Ceiling tile with integrated baffle
Ceiling tiles for drop ceilings are disclosed. The ceiling tiles have a main portion that is sized and adapted to fit within a grid of the drop ceiling, and a baffle that hangs down from the main portion. A sheet of tile material may have a plurality of fold lines defined in it that allow the sheet to fold in such a way as to define the main portion and the baffle. In the flat configuration, the sheet of tile material may have the dimensions of a standard drop ceiling tile; in the folded configuration, the ceiling tiles may also have standard ceiling-tile dimensions. A single ceiling tile may have two or more baffles, and those baffles may be staggered in position with respect to one another.
Multifunctional ceiling support assembly for use in a suspended ceiling system
A multifunctional support assembly for use in a suspended ceiling system having a T-bar grid arrangement supporting ceiling tiles. The multifunctional ceiling support assembly comprises an elongate body having an elongate planar base portion having first and second lateral ends, first and second longitudinal ends, and a top plane; first and second connecting members each positioned at the first and second longitudinal ends of the elongate body and configured with support portions capable of attachment to the T-bar grid arrangement; and a third connecting member mounted on the top plane of the elongate body, the third connecting extends up from the elongate body and functions to separate and position ceiling tiles within the T-bar grid arrangement.
High sound attenuation building panels
Described herein is an acoustic ceiling panel comprising: a first air-permeable body comprising a first major surface opposite a second major surface and a side surface extending between the first and second major surfaces, the first body having an NRC value of at least 0.5 as measured between the first and second major surfaces of the first body; and an attenuation coating applied to the second major surface of the body and the side surface of the body, whereby the attenuation coating seals at least a portion of the second major surface and the side surface of the body.
Mounting bracket assembly for attachment to a suspended ceiling
A mounting bracket assembly for attachment to a horizontally disposed rail of a suspended ceiling system is provided which includes identical first and second mounting bracket members. The mounting bracket assembly of this invention is designed to be attached to the flanges of the rail and attached to one another so as to be able to support an article or object therefrom and the suspended ceiling system.
Ceiling tile with integrated baffle
Ceiling tiles for drop ceilings are disclosed. The ceiling tiles have a main portion that is comprised of a sheet of material, such as tile material, and a baffle portion. The main portion has an enclosed slot, and the baffle portion inserts into the slot such that with the ceiling tile in an installed orientation, the baffle portion extends downwardly from the main portion. The baffle portion has a flange on one end that is larger than the slot in at least one of width or length, such that the flange retains the baffle portion in the slot. Drop ceilings that use these ceiling tiles are also disclosed.
Ceiling Tile System
Ceiling tile system for acoustic modification.
MULTIFUNCTIONAL CEILING SUPPORT ASSEMBLY FOR USE IN A SUSPENDED CEILING SYSTEM
A multifunctional support assembly for use in a suspended ceiling system having a T-bar grid arrangement supporting ceiling tiles. The multifunctional ceiling support assembly comprises an elongate body having an elongate planar base portion having first and second lateral ends, first and second longitudinal ends, and a top plane; first and second connecting members each positioned at the first and second longitudinal ends of the elongate body and configured with support portions capable of attachment to the T-bar grid arrangement; and a third connecting member mounted on the top plane of the elongate body, the third connecting extends up from the elongate body and functions to separate and position ceiling tiles within the T-bar grid arrangement.
ACOUSTIC BUILDING PANELS
Described herein is an acoustic building panel having a first major exposed surface opposite a second major exposed surface and a side exposed surface extending there between, the acoustic ceiling panel comprising: a body comprising a first major surface opposite a second major surface and a side surface extending between the first and second major surfaces, the body being air-permeable; and an attenuation coating applied to the first major surface of the body; wherein a first portion of the second major exposed surface of the acoustic building panel is formed by the first major surface of the body and a second portion of the second major exposed surface of the acoustic building panel is formed by the attenuation coating.
