Profile member and method for manufacturing thereof
A method for manufacturing a profile member for a suspended ceiling system, comprising forming a sheet metal material into an elongate T-shaped profile member with a web having two web side walls and a pair of oppositely disposed flanges projecting from a bottom portion of the web, and laser welding the elongate T-shaped profile member for providing a laser weld joint extending in a longitudinal direction of the T-shaped profile member and joining the two web side walls to each other. The step of laser welding comprises alternatingly performing a first operation and a second operation, the second operation being different from the first operation, whereby a laser weld joint is provided comprising along its extension alternating welded first sections associated to the first operation and second sections associated to the second operation. The present invention also relates to an elongate profile member provided with a laser weld joint.
COVER FOR LINTELS OR ANGLE IRONS
The present invention relates to a lintel or angle iron cover, and specifically a cover for an L-shaped lintel having a rise portion and a run portion. The cover is also L-shaped and is a continuous wall made up of an upper wall joined to a top wall which is joined to a side wall. The side wall is also joined to a bottom wall which is joined to a back wall. Further, the upper wall is at least as high as the rise portion of the lintel. The top wall and bottom wall form a U-shaped opening closed by the side wall, and the U-shaped opening is the size of the run portion. Whereas the back wall forms a lip at the end of the bottom wall.

CONFIGURABLE LINEAR LIGHTING MODULE FOR SUSPENDED CEILING GRID ASSEMBLIES
The present disclosure generally relates to lighting modules, and more specifically, to a configurable linear lighting module for use within a suspended ceiling grid assembly. The configurable linear lighting module is easy to install and comprises a novel linear support element with internal and external support features which is provided with integrated or removable optical assemblies to deliver lighting distributions tailored to optimally illuminate the surface ceiling panels as well as floors, walls and work surfaces below. When installed within a configured ceiling grid assembly the configurable linear lighting module provides novel support features for ceiling panels to be held in-line, above, below or tilted relative to the existing ceiling grid plane. A wide range of useful lighting distributions are achieved by configuring the optical elements and LED light sources supported and aligned by the linear support element. By selectively applying electrical power to individual light source channels it is further possible to electrically control lighting distributions. As such the configurable linear lighting module provides both aesthetically pleasing features and useful lighting distributions. Furthermore, illustrated embodiments of ceiling grid assemblies comprising one or more of the configurable linear lighting modules demonstrate how both appearance and lighting distributions can be controlled to meet aesthetic and lighting design requirements.
PANEL MOUNTING SYSTEM
Disclosed is a system and method for mounting a panel (40) such as an acoustic panel, baffle or fin. The system for mounting the panel (40) can comprise an elongate member (12). A base (14) of the member (12) can be configured to enable it to be mounted with respect to a structure. Opposing sidewalls (13) of the member (12) can extend from the base (14) such that, in profile, the sidewalls define a neck portion (N) that extends to an enlarged head portion (H) of the member (12). The panel (40) can have a recess (42) formed in an edge thereof. The recess (42) can be configured to generally correspond to an external profile of the member (12). An inner recess portion (43) of the panel (40) can be enlarged to receive the member head portion (H), with an outer recess portion (45) being configured to receive the member neck portion (N). The outer recess portion (45) can open out of the panel edge such that, when the member (12) is located in the panel recess (42) it retains the panel (40) to the member (12).
Indirect light cove
An indirect light cove system including an edge piece, a ceiling beam connector, a ceiling beam with a web and flanges, and a lighting module. The edge piece includes an end bar, upper and lower lateral arms attached to the end bar, beam connection hooks between the upper and lower lateral arms, and one or more key protrusions on an upper face of the upper lateral arm. The ceiling beam connector includes a rectangular channel portion having top and bottom surfaces in contact with the beam connection hooks, and a beam portion joined to the channel portion. The ceiling beam is joined to the beam portion of the ceiling beam connector by fastening elements inserted through screw holes in the beam portion and the web. The flanges rest on the lower lateral arm of the edge piece. The lighting module includes a key recess which conforms to the key protrusions.
High strength main tee splice
A connector for a main tee of a suspended ceiling grid that has improved tensile strength achieved by accurately proportioning an end tab and receiving depression so that full lateral abutment between these elements is obtained to assure full engagement between lock lance edges and mating stop edges.

The present invention also relates to an elongate profile member provided with a laser weld joint.
Connection clip for securing a panel to a support grid
The present disclosure relates generally to a connection clip for securing a panel to a support grid, for example, suitable for securing a wood grille panel to a ceiling grid. The present disclosure relates more particularly to a connection clip including a body having a base with a width extending between opposing first and second lateral edges and first and second arms extending upward respectively from the first and second lateral edges of the base so as to form a cavity configured to receive a structural cross member of the panel. Engagement lips extend laterally inward from an upper end of each arm and are configured to grip respective first and second flanges of a grid member of the support grid so as to secure the panel to the grid member. Each of the first and second engagement lips span a substantial majority of the depth of the connection clip.
Fastening device for fastening lighting devices to a false ceiling
A fastening device for fastening lighting devices to T-shaped profiles of a false ceiling comprises a base wall on which the lighting device may be fastened. The fastening device also comprises two longitudinal side walls rigidly connected along the longitudinal sides of the base wall and a plurality of fastening elements arranged along the longitudinal sides of the base wall, wherein the fastening elements can be folded in the direction of the base wall, to engage the fastening device with the T-shaped profile. The fastening device also comprises at least two spacer elements arranged between the base wall and a respective longitudinal side wall to provide a gap between the side walls and the base wall. This gap provides a passage for the electrical connections between the lighting device and a power supply source located above the false ceiling.
