Description
MODULAR SYSTEM FOR SUB-CEILINGS
DESCRIPTION
Field of the invention The present invention generally finds application in the civil or industrial building industry and particularly relates to a modular system for forming sub-ceilings.
Background art In modern buildings, prefabricated room partitions, particularly in rooms designed for office use, as well as sub-ceilings, are known to be critical elements for both aesthetic and technical purposes.
Particularly, in addition to providing adequate comfort in terms of acoustic and/or thermal insulation, modern room partitioning systems are required to have a highly attractive appearance.
Therefore, there is a strong need for sub-ceilings that might appear as linear as possible, with no construction elements projecting out of the exposed surface, providing a visually seamless result.
The use of sub-ceilings allows concealment of the cables and pipes that are used for serving the equipment required for adequate comfort of the room.
Typically, a sub-ceiling consists of a modular system having a plurality of supporting beams which define a texture having two horizontal rows, with covering panels or plates secured thereto.
The sub-ceiling may also be fitted with functional elements such as lamps, fire or emergency systems, as well as prefabricated or glazed walls if the available space has to be divided into two or more rooms.
Further examples of similar sub-ceiling systems are disclosed, for instance, in EP0464367 and EP0627532, in which a sub-ceiling system comprises a plurality of load-bearing beams which are adapted to be secured to a floor and have a load-bearing profile with an inverted U-shaped cross section, for accommodating the desired wiring and service devices.
Each beam also has a pair of lateral wings, horizontally projecting
DESCRIPTION
Field of the invention The present invention generally finds application in the civil or industrial building industry and particularly relates to a modular system for forming sub-ceilings.
Background art In modern buildings, prefabricated room partitions, particularly in rooms designed for office use, as well as sub-ceilings, are known to be critical elements for both aesthetic and technical purposes.
Particularly, in addition to providing adequate comfort in terms of acoustic and/or thermal insulation, modern room partitioning systems are required to have a highly attractive appearance.
Therefore, there is a strong need for sub-ceilings that might appear as linear as possible, with no construction elements projecting out of the exposed surface, providing a visually seamless result.
The use of sub-ceilings allows concealment of the cables and pipes that are used for serving the equipment required for adequate comfort of the room.
Typically, a sub-ceiling consists of a modular system having a plurality of supporting beams which define a texture having two horizontal rows, with covering panels or plates secured thereto.
The sub-ceiling may also be fitted with functional elements such as lamps, fire or emergency systems, as well as prefabricated or glazed walls if the available space has to be divided into two or more rooms.
Further examples of similar sub-ceiling systems are disclosed, for instance, in EP0464367 and EP0627532, in which a sub-ceiling system comprises a plurality of load-bearing beams which are adapted to be secured to a floor and have a load-bearing profile with an inverted U-shaped cross section, for accommodating the desired wiring and service devices.
Each beam also has a pair of lateral wings, horizontally projecting
2 out of the vertical walls of the beam to define a support for the edges of the panels that are designed to form the sub-ceiling.
Furthermore, panels having technical functions may be secured by means of anchor structures, which are adapted to be fixed to the side of .. the beam, to provide adequate support to the panels.
These solutions suffer from the common drawback of contributing to form a sub-ceiling which will be generally formed of a plurality of panels with the bearing beams projecting therefrom in a more or less visible manner.
Thus, the construction so obtained will have a lower aesthetic quality, caused by discontinuities in the sub-ceiling.
Furthermore, prior art solutions provide relatively complex structures with a great number of components, requiring long and difficult assembly procedures and heavier structures, with difficult maintenance.
W02009/153674, by the Applicant hereof, discloses a modular system for forming sub-ceilings which incorporates a plurality of multifunctional beams designed to accommodate a plurality of different functional devices in modular fashion, such as lamps or support elements for partition walls, so that such devices are always entirely incorporated in the U-shaped profile, thereby providing sub-ceilings of high aesthetic value.
Nevertheless, these solutions do not allow modular coupling of sub-ceiling panels of different types, such as metal or plasterboard panels, unless the beam profile is specially adapted.
Therefore, these systems have a poor configuration flexibility, and involve a more complex construction of the sub-ceiling.
Disclosure of the invention The object of the present invention is to overcome the above drawbacks, by providing a modular system for forming sub¨ceilings that is highly modular and flexible in its configuration.
A particular object is to provide a modular system for sub-ceilings that allows simple and quick mounting of different types of panels to the same load-bearing beam.
Furthermore, panels having technical functions may be secured by means of anchor structures, which are adapted to be fixed to the side of .. the beam, to provide adequate support to the panels.

A particular object is to provide a modular system for sub-ceilings that allows simple and quick mounting of different types of panels to the same load-bearing beam.
3 Yet another object of the present invention is to provide a modular sub-ceiling system that affords the formation of sub-ceilings of superior aesthetic quality with no elements projecting out of the plane defined by the sub-ceiling.
Another important object of the present invention is to provide a sub-ceiling structure that ensures high versatility, to adapt to various uses and different partitioning arrangements in the space covered by the false ceiling.
These and other objects, as more clearly shown hereafter, are fulfilled by a modular system for sub-ceilings, wherein a sub-ceiling is composed of a plurality of substantially horizontal side-by-side panels, comprising a plurality of beams, which are designed to be secured to a floor in substantially horizontal positions, each beam having a substantially U-shaped cross section, with a pair of substantially vertical side walls, and a plurality of interface members which are designed to be coupled to said side walls for securing respective sub-ceiling panels to each of said beams.
The interface members have quick connection means for snap connection with no universal connection members to the outer side surfaces of said substantially vertical lateral walls.
The system is characterized in that the each of said beams has at least one pair of lateral connecting members outwardly projecting and each firmly associated with a respective substantially vertical lateral wall.
With this particular combination of features, the system affords simple and quick mounting of panels of different configurations to the beams, without requiring complex mechanical fixation of the panels to the profile of the beam, thereby allowing remodulation of the entire system.
An embodiment consists of a modular system for a sub-ceiling formed by a plurality of substantially horizontal panels placed in adjacent positions, wherein the system comprises:
- a plurality of beams anchorable to a ceiling in substantially horizontal positions and each having a substantially "U"-shaped cross section with a pair of lateral walls and a substantially vertical symmetry plane (Tr);
- a plurality of interface members adapted to be coupled with said lateral walls for anchoring of respective sub-ceiling panels to each of said beams;
3a wherein said interface members have quick connection means for snap connection to the outer side surfaces of said substantially vertical lateral walls;
wherein each of said beams has at least one pair of lateral connecting members outwardly projecting and each firmly associated with a respective substantially vertical lateral wall, each of said connecting members being integral with the outer side surface of the corresponding lateral wall; and in that said quick connection means comprise, for each of said interface members a substantially longitudinal anchoring portion for coupling with one of said lateral connecting members and a support portion adapted to support at least one panel.

The modular system 1 also comprises a plurality of interface members 5, 5'; 6, 6', which are adapted to be coupled with the side walls 4, 4' for securing respective sub-ceiling panels (P, C) to one or more beams 2, 2'.
5 For simplicity, the description of the interface members 5, 6 as given below also applies in a substantially identical manner to the corresponding interface members 5, 6'.
According to a peculiar characteristic of the invention, each interface member 5, 6 has quick connection means 7, 8 for snap connection with no universal connection members to the outer side surfaces 9, 9' of the substantially vertical side walls 4, 4'.

The vertical walls 4, 4' are also joined at their top by a substantially flat top wall 13, to define the inverted U-shaped load-bearing profile 3.
The top wall 13 also has a specially shaped portion 14, e.g. also having a U-shape, for attachment thereof to hangers or similar systems which are designed to hold the beam 2 suspended from the floor.
Preferably, the beams 2, 2' are substantially similar and made of metal, e.g. aluminum or similar materials, or polymer materials or composites, by extrusion.
Therefore, the description of one of the beams 2, 2' of the system 1 as given below shall apply in a substantially identical manner to all the other beams, unless otherwise stated.
Each of the side walls 4, 4' of the profiles 3 comprises a lateral connection element 15, 15' which projects out of a corresponding side wall 4, 4' and preferably extends throughout the longitudinal extension of the corresponding beam 2.
According to a peculiar characteristic of the invention, each interface member 5, 6 has quick connection means 7, 8 for snap connection with no universal connection members to the outer side surfaces 9, 9' of the substantially vertical side walls 4, 4'.
The vertical side walls 4, 4' of each load-bearing profile 3 have respective free lower longitudinal edges 10, 10' to define a longitudinal compartment 11 with a bottom opening 12 for receiving one of more functional devices in the compartment 11, such as lamps, support elements for room partitioning panels or the like, not shown in detail and not covered by the scope of the invention.
The vertical walls 4, 4' are also joined at their top by a substantially flat top wall 13, to define the inverted U-shaped load-bearing profile 3.
The top wall 13 also has a specially shaped portion 14, e.g. also having a U-shape, for attachment thereof to hangers or similar systems which are designed to hold the beam 2 suspended from the floor.
Preferably, the beams 2, 2' are substantially similar and made of metal, e.g. aluminum or similar materials, or polymer materials or composites, by extrusion.
Therefore, the description of one of the beams 2, 2' of the system 1 as given below shall apply in a substantially identical manner to all the other beams, unless otherwise stated.
Each of the side walls 4, 4' of the profiles 3 comprises a lateral connection element 15, 15' which projects out of a corresponding side wall 4, 4' and preferably extends throughout the longitudinal extension of the corresponding beam 2.
6 Conveniently, the lateral connection elements 15, 15' are integral with the outer side surfaces 9, 9' of corresponding side walls 4, 4 and are formed of one piece therewith, e.g. by extrusion of the same base material.
Each pair of lateral connection elements 15, 15' further comprises a pair of first lower and upper longitudinal projections 16, 16'; 17, 17', which are mutually offset by a first predetermined distance d1 in a substantially vertical direction.
Advantageously the first lower longitudinal projections 16, 16' of the connection elements 15, 15' define the bottom opening 12 of the load-bearing profile by their inner edges 3.
As more clearly shown in Figs. 5 and 6, for each interface member 5, 6, the quick connection means 7, 8 include substantially longitudinal and vertical anchor portions 18, 19 which are designed to mate with respective lateral connection elements 15, 15'.
The interface members 5, 6 further include respective substantially longitudinal support portions 20, 21 which are adapted to stably support at least one sub-ceiling panel P, C.
According to a peculiar characteristic of the invention, the interface members 5, 6 have respective anchor portions 18, 19, which are substantially identical and shaped to mate with any one of the lateral connection elements 15, 15' of any one of the beams 2 designed to form the modular system 1.

Thus, each beam 2 may have coupled thereto either a pair of interface members 5, 5' for plasterboard panels C, as shown in Fig. 1, or a pair of interface members 6, 6' for metal panels P, as shown in Fig. 2.
Furthermore, a beam 2 may be simultaneously fitted with two interface members 5, 6 of different types, as shown in Fig. 3, to form sub-ceilings having both metal panels P and plasterboard panels C. It shall be
Each pair of lateral connection elements 15, 15' further comprises a pair of first lower and upper longitudinal projections 16, 16'; 17, 17', which are mutually offset by a first predetermined distance d1 in a substantially vertical direction.
Advantageously the first lower longitudinal projections 16, 16' of the connection elements 15, 15' define the bottom opening 12 of the load-bearing profile by their inner edges 3.
As more clearly shown in Figs. 5 and 6, for each interface member 5, 6, the quick connection means 7, 8 include substantially longitudinal and vertical anchor portions 18, 19 which are designed to mate with respective lateral connection elements 15, 15'.
The interface members 5, 6 further include respective substantially longitudinal support portions 20, 21 which are adapted to stably support at least one sub-ceiling panel P, C.
According to a peculiar characteristic of the invention, the interface members 5, 6 have respective anchor portions 18, 19, which are substantially identical and shaped to mate with any one of the lateral connection elements 15, 15' of any one of the beams 2 designed to form the modular system 1.
Furthermore, at least one of the interface members 5, as shown in Fig. 5, has a support portion 20 for supporting a plasterboard sub-ceiling panel C. At least one of the interface members 6, as shown in Fig. 6, has a support portion 21 for supporting a metal sub-ceiling panel P.
Thus, each beam 2 may have coupled thereto either a pair of interface members 5, 5' for plasterboard panels C, as shown in Fig. 1, or a pair of interface members 6, 6' for metal panels P, as shown in Fig. 2.
Furthermore, a beam 2 may be simultaneously fitted with two interface members 5, 6 of different types, as shown in Fig. 3, to form sub-ceilings having both metal panels P and plasterboard panels C. It shall be
7 also understood that a further configuration may be envisaged, with reversely arranged panels with respect to Fig. 3.
The particular configuration of the beams 2 and interface members 5, 6 will allow the latter to be mounted to the load-bearing profiles 3 of the beams 2 without requiring any mechanical process such as riveting or the like, that might damage the beams 2.
Thus, the interface members 5, 6 may be also removed from the beams 2, and still maintain their structural integrity and allow remodulation of the sub-ceiling.
