Described herein is a ceiling panel assembly comprising a panel body having an inner surface defining an internal cavity having a first open end defined by a first side edge of the panel body, a first end cap comprising a face plate, an insertion portion extending from an inner surface of the face plate, and a concealment portion extending from the inner surface of the face plate; and the first end cap coupled to the panel body so that: (1) the insertion portion extends into the internal cavity; (2) the concealment portion wraps around at least a portion of the first edge and is adjacent an outer surface of the panel body; and (3) the end face plate encloses the first open end of the internal cavity, and the first end cap is coupled to the panel body by frictional fit.

LIGHT BAR FOR SUSPENDED CEILING
20210054978 · 2021-02-25 ·

An elongated lighting assembly useful in suspended baffle ceilings comprising an inverted channel having an upper web and opposed legs depending from opposite sides of the web, inturned flanges extending inwardly from lower ends of the legs, distal edges of the flanges being horizontally spaced from each other to form a gap, LED tape located over an upper surface of the flanges and carrying upwardly facing LED elements at regularly spaced intervals, surfaces inside the channel facing the LED tape being coated with a white diffuse reflecting material whereby light emitted by the LED elements emanates essentially exclusively out of the gap by diffuse reflection from the coating.

SUSPENSION CEILING WITH PARALLEL VANES FOR BUILDING STRUCTURES
20210032864 · 2021-02-04 · ·

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.

NOISE REDUCTION APPARATUS AND METHOD OF MAKING AND USING THE SAME

A noise reduction apparatus can include a frame and multiple spaced apart panels positioned adjacent to each other. Each of the panels or only one of the spaced apart panel elements may have holes therein to receive acoustic waves for absorbing the waves between the panels. The panels can be attached to a frame or other connection structure so that the arrangement of panels can be hung over a work space or positioned in a work space (e.g. in a wall, formed as a partition or wall, included as part of shelving, etc.). The panels can also be incorporated into a light fixture that may hang from a ceiling or be attached to some other type of support (e.g. a table, a base, etc.). The panels can be composed of glass, wood, or other type of material.

SMART DYNAMIC ACOUSTIC CEILING PANEL

A dynamic acoustic system for use in connection with an indoor environment includes a plurality of elongated acoustic bars and a controller operably to each of the elongated acoustic bars. Each of the bars is operably coupled to a ceiling member of the indoor environment and includes an upper portion, a lower portion, a plurality of side surfaces extending between the upper and lower portions, an interior region at least partially defined by the upper portion, the lower portion, and the plurality of side surfaces, and at least one movable element movable between first and second positions. The controller selectively controls operation of the at least one movable element of a desired number of the plurality of elongated acoustic bars to alter an environmental characteristic of the indoor environment.

MOUNTING HARDWARE AND MOUNTING SYSTEM FOR VERTICAL PANELS
20200340246 · 2020-10-29 ·

A mounting clip and a system for mounting a vertical panel from a support member suspended from a ceiling. The mounting clip has a panel mounting section, a support member receiving portion, and a movable mounting section. The support member receiving portion extends from the panel mounting section. The movable mounting section can be rotated relative to the support member receiving portion to secure the mounting clip to the support member.
