One embodiment provides a method and apparatus for suspending air conditioning duct works from a support structure comprising unistrut type support beams which apparatus includes a plurality of support brackets arranged and configured for being slidably interlockable with the interior of the unistrut beam members. The support brackets can be slid inside the interior of the support beam until adjacent a support beam which support beam can be connected to the support bracket. In like manner additional support brackets can be inserted into the interior of the support beam members to be adjustably located next to their respective support rod. In such manner multiple support rods can be used to support a frame member even where the support rods are not symmetrically located along the length of the support beam as the support bracket can be slid/moved inside the support beam until lining up with its respective support rod. Additionally, the entire support framework can be moved relative to the plurality of support rods by sliding the framework relative to the support brackets. In such manner the location of the supporting frame member can be changed without moving the support rods.

A clip that fixes a ceiling joist intersecting a ceiling joist receiver to the ceiling joist receiver, includes: a top portion having a width of the ceiling joist receiver; a first hanging portion hanging down from one end of the top portion, and provided with, at a lower portion, first engaging projections extending left and right to engage the ceiling joist; and a second hanging portion hanging down from another end of the top portion, and provided with, at a lower portion, second engaging projections extending left and right to lock the ceiling joist. The first hanging portion has a length longer than that of the second hanging portion, and a recess extending in a direction toward the second hanging portion is provided at an intermediate position of the first hanging portion.

A suspended ceiling system (1) comprising a plurality of ceiling tiles and a grid (100) of profiles (40) for supporting the plurality of ceiling tiles, the grid (100) of profiles (40) comprising at least a first and a second profile (40) configured to be interconnected along a longitudinal axis, the first and second profile (40) each comprising two laterally extending flanges (43) and an upstanding web (44) provided with a bulb (41) at its free end, wherein each of the first and second profile (40) has a curved extension and is configured to be installed such that it, in an installed and unloaded condition, bulges in an upward direction.

A sound isolation assembly comprising: a center ferrule; a top grommet isolator; a bottom grommet isolator; a spring; and a furring channel engagement portion. The sound isolation assembly is configured to engage with a structure and a furring channel, which itself is connected to a ceiling panel, such that the noise passing from one floor to the other is lessened as compared to a control system that does not use the sound isolation assembly. The spring may be steel and the grommet isolators may be rubber or the like, and the combination of the steel spring and grommet isolators reduces noise.

An acoustic ceiling baffle that includes a baffle body and one or more attachment mechanisms disposed on a top edge of the baffle body configured to couple and decouple from a runner of a ceiling suspension system. The attachment mechanisms include a recessed portion that receives the runner. The recessed portion includes a first section and a second section with an opening disposed between the first section and the second section. The first section is configured to engage with a face of the runner when the acoustic ceiling baffle is coupled to the runner. The attachment mechanism further includes a first retention member and a second retention member formed around the recessed portion, each retention member comprising a bottom edge that is configured to engage with a top surface of a face of the runner.

The disclosure relates to support members for ceiling systems, such as those that can be formed into an interconnected grid to be suspended from a ceiling and support ceiling tiles. One aspect of the disclosure is a linearly-extending support member for a ceiling tile. The support member has a cross-sectional shape that includes a substantially vertical central web with a top end and a bottom end; at least one flange extending substantially horizontally from the bottom end of the web, the flange having an upper surface and a lower surface; and a bulb extending from the top end of the web, the bulb having a first side and a second side with a cavity therebetween, the bulb having an upper portion and a lower portion adjacent the top end of the web, wherein the entire lower portion of the bulb is narrower than the upper portion of the bulb and wider than the central web, the bulb comprising a series of spaced apertures formed therein through both the first side and the second side of the bulb, each aperture being disposed at least partially in the lower portion of the bulb, each aperture having an upper portion and a lower portion, wherein the upper portion of the aperture is rounded.

An isolating hanger and method of making is disclosed for mounting a ceiling from an upper support. The isolating hanger comprises a one piece bendable wire having a spring shape defined between a first and a second wire end. The spring shaped is tempered for transforming said spring shape into a resilient spring. The remaining bendable wire ends affix the upper support to the ceiling for isolating vibration between the ceiling and the upper support.

An acoustic ceiling baffle that includes a baffle body and one or more attachment mechanisms disposed on a top edge of the baffle body configured to couple and decouple from a runner of a ceiling suspension system. The attachment mechanisms include a recessed portion that receives the runner. The recessed portion includes a first section and a second section with an opening disposed between the first section and the second section. The first section is configured to engage with a face of the runner when the acoustic ceiling baffle is coupled to the runner. The attachment mechanism further includes a first retention member and a second retention member formed around the recessed portion, each retention member comprising a bottom edge that is configured to engage with a top surface of a face of the runner.

An architectural fixture connection system offers acoustical and aesthetic benefits. This system utilizes modular construction, allowing interconnection of a variety of different beams to form an installation that may attach to a wall or ceiling of a building. This system may be formed of a series of sheets which are formed into beams using securing brackets and attachment brackets, then coupled to one another using a series of joiner brackets. Interconnection between adjacent beams need not be linear, allowing free-form shapes and angles.

A folded architectural panel folded from a flat sheet, the panel having opposite longitudinal ends extending in a width direction, opposite lateral sides extending in a length direction and a depth perpendicular to the width and length directions. The panel includes a first downward fold adjacent one longitudinal end, extending in the width direction, and having opposite fold ends at the respective lateral sides of the panel; a second downward fold adjacent the other longitudinal end, extending in the width direction, and having opposite fold ends at the respective lateral sides of the panel; and a central upward fold at a central portion of the panel between the first and second downward folds; the first downward fold, the second downward fold and the central upward fold enable contraction of the opposite end folds towards each other to cause folding of the first and second end folds and an increase in the depth of the panel at the central portion. The panel further includes two pairs of respective side upward folds extending from the four opposite fold ends of the first and second end folds to the central upward fold such that, with contraction of the opposite end folds towards each other, a respective section of each respective lateral side between two respective fold ends contracts inwardly towards the opposite lateral side and a respective sidewall is formed on each respective lateral side of the panel extending from the respective pair of side upward folds in the depth direction.
