Suspended ceiling connectors for unique grid designs
A ceiling beam connector that permits the incorporation of ornamental panel designs such as triangles, parallelograms, and trapezoids into suspended ceilings. The connector has a faceplate attached to either two arms or a leg. The leg is attached to either the faceplate or an arm at an acute angle measured from an axis perpendicular to the faceplate. To maintain standard beam lengths and rout spacing at 2 foot, 3 foot, or 4 foot (61 cm, 91 cm, or 122 cm) beam spacing, the leg may project out at the following angles measured from the axis: about 14.0°, about 18.4°, about 26.6°, about 30.3°, about 45.0°, about 59.7°, about 63.4°, about 71.6°, or about 76.0°.
Collapsible acoustic honeycomb ceiling installation
A collapsible acoustic honeycomb ceiling installation can be made by cutting desired material into panels. Next, a manufacturer can cut one or more notches into the panels. The manufacturer can assemble the collapsible acoustic honeycomb ceiling installation by aligning the one or more notches on the panels and slideably connecting the panels. The resultant collapsible acoustic honeycomb ceiling installation can provide a versatile decorative feature to a space while maintaining or altering the acoustics of the space as desired. Further, because the ceiling installation is collapsible, a manufacturer or installer can easily transport, install, and remove the ceiling installation.
CEILING GRID SUPPORT BAR, AND CEILING SYSTEM
The present disclosure relates generally to ceiling grids, for example, suitable for forming a suspended ceiling. The present disclosure relates more particularly to a support bar configured to extend across grid beams of a ceiling grid. The support bar includes a first hook configured to secure to a first grid beam of the ceiling grid and a second hook configured to secure to a second grid beam of the ceiling grid. A spanning member extends from the first hook to the second hook and is configured to support the weight of an element attached to the support bar.
Acoustic panels for a ceiling suspension system
A ceiling suspension system that includes a plurality of acoustic panels that are configured to be installed or attached into openings of a grid formed by main runners and cross runners of the ceiling suspension system. The acoustic panels include a plurality of main blades that extend in the same direction as the main runners and cross blades that extend in the same direction as the cross runners. Two or more of the main blades comprise a kerf in a first lateral edge of each main blade. The kerf comprises a first slot and a second slot that form a stepped configuration.
Architectural fixture connection system
An architectural fixture assembly including a generally U-shaped first beam having a bottom side, a first side, a second side, and a first end. Interior surfaces of the first, second, and bottom sides of the first beam define an interior portion. A connector includes a plate, and a connection key extending away from the plate. The interior surfaces of the first and second sides each include a generally V-shaped alignment notch disposed generally adjacent to the first end of the beam. The connection key includes a pair of generally V-shaped sides disposed on opposite sides of the connection key, and each generally V-shaped side is configured to slidably engage one of the generally V-shaped alignment notches.
ACOUSTIC PANELS FOR A CEILING SUSPENSION SYSTEM
A ceiling suspension system that includes a plurality of acoustic panels that are configured to be installed or attached into openings of a grid formed by main runners and cross runners of the ceiling suspension system. The acoustic panels include a plurality of main blades that extend in the same direction as the main runners and cross blades that extend in the same direction as the cross runners. Two or more of the main blades comprise a kerf in a first lateral edge of each main blade. The kerf comprises a first slot and a second slot that form a stepped configuration.
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 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.
CEILING SYSTEM
A grid mounting system for a suspended ceiling system in one embodiment includes a support structure and a mounting bracket coupled to the support structure. An elongated first grid member is pivotably coupled to the mounting bracket about a pivot axis defined by a pivot member. The first grid member is movable about the pivot axis in a plurality of angular mounting positions. In one embodiment, the grid mounting system further includes a second grid member which may be pivotably or fixedly coupled to the mounting bracket. The support structure may be a wall or perimeter trim bracket attached to the wall in some installations.
ARCHITECTURAL FIXTURE CONNECTION SYSTEM
An architectural fixture assembly includes a first beam and a second beam which are configured to be coupled together. The first beam includes a bottom side and first and second sides extending from the bottom side. The first and second sides of the first beam include notches extending upwardly from a bottom end of the first beam. The second beam includes a bottom side and first and second sides extending from the bottom side. The first and second sides of the second include notches extending downwardly from a top end of the second beam. The first and second beams may be coupled together by engagement of the notches of the first beam with the notches of the second beam.
