Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a runner for a suspended ceiling as well as to ceiling grids obtained thereby and connectors (spacer clips) used therefor.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide for a connector by means of which in the first instance relatively heavy runners such as those of the invention can be connected in line and wherein, secondly, by using them, a connection is obtained that can take up the expansion of the runners.
  • a connector is concerned which is intended for taking care of the connection of I-runners.
  • the present invention relates to a runner for suspended ceilings characterized thereby that it mainly consists of a double-web roll-formed I-runner, which in itself is formed by an I-shaped element having a double-web body and a double-web flange as well as a strip co-operating with the other flange of said I-shaped element.
  • the present invention also provides ceiling grids for suspended ceilings characterized thereby that a number of their runners and preferably the main runners consist of said I-runners.
  • the present invention provides a connector for ceiling runners in line and especially for the I-runners according to the invention, said connector mainly consisting of two elements which respectively can co-operate with both sides of the bodies of both runners, and means allowing the connection between the elements on the one hand and the respective runners on the other hand, said means allowing the longitudinal displacement of at least one of said runners.
  • the runner according to the present invention mainly consists of a double-web roll-formed I-runner 1 that is formed by an I-shaped element 2 and a strip 3.
  • the I-shaped element 2 has a flange 4 formed by an outer wall 5, which at the edges 6 and 7 of said flange 4 is hemmed and blends with the inner wall 8 of said flange 4.
  • Both thus formed parts 9 and 10 of this inner wall 8, substantially in the middle of flange 4 are hemmed perpendicularly out of the plane of said flange and hereby blend with two adjacent walls 11 and 12 forming the body 13 of said I-shaped element 2.
  • each of said walls 11 and 12 blends with outer ends 14 and 15 respectively that are hemmed perpendicularly, in opposite directions outwardly from the body 13, said outer ends constituting the second flange 16 of the I-shaped element 2.
  • Strip 3 adapts itself to said second flange 16 and can co-operate herewith by means of hook-shaped hemmed sides 17 and 18 respectively that slip over the edges 19 and 20 of flange 16.
  • the main characteristic of the ceiling grids according to the present invention is that their main runners consist of one or more I-runners 1 as described hereinbefore.
  • transverse splines can be provided in body 13, wherein, e.g., T-runners 21 with coupling hooks 22 can be fitted in such a way that said second flange 16 is on a level with the flanges 22 of the reverse T-runners 21.
  • a ceiling grid can consist of parallel I-runners 1 finding themselves at relatively large distance A, e.g. 2.4 m, from one another, and heavy T-runners 24 forming transverse connections therebetween and finding themselves at distances B of 1.2 m for instance. Between them can be placed light-weight T-runners that can support the ceiling tiles.
  • a ceiling grid has the advantage that it can be suspended completely by means of fasteners exclusively by the I-runners.
  • the ceiling grid according to the invention can also show cross tees consisting of the abovesaid I-runners.
  • spacer clips connectors
  • These spacer clips are disclosed in a separate Patent Application of the Applicant.
  • the I-runners preferably are applied in such a way that the strip is at the underside.
  • This strip can be visibly fitted or access-fitted and be provided with all kinds of caps or coatings.
  • the two-part character of the I-runner 1, formed by the I-shaped element 2 and the strip 3, offers the advantage that only the strips 3 can be provided with all kinds of caps or coatings of any colour. In consequence, these different caps and coatings have not to be taken into account in the manufacturing process of said I-shaped element 2.
  • the I-runners are fixed to hangers 27 by means of reverse tees 26 that act on their upper flange 4.
  • the I-runners according to the present invention can be suspended in other ways too, wherein optionally known hangers can be used.
  • a connector 28 according to the present invention is represented.
  • Said connector provides for the connection of two ceilign runners in line, e.g. wo runners 1 and 29 as described above, said connection allowing a longitudinal expansion of the runners.
  • Connector 28 consists mainly of two elements 30 and 31 that can co-operate at least with the sides 32 and 33 of the bodies of both runners 1 and 29 respectively, and of means for connecting these elements 30 and 31 at the one hand and the respective runners 1 and 29 respectively at the other hand.
  • Said means allow the displacement of at least one of the runners 1 and 29 in their longitudinal direction.
  • the elements 30 and 31 are U-shaped, all this in such a way that the central parts 34 and 35 adapt themselves to the sides 32 and 33 of the bodies of the runners 1 and 29.
  • the means that allow to provide a connection between the elements 30 and 31 and the runners 1 and 29 consist mainly of holes 36 and 37 that are applied correspondingly in the elements 30 and 31 and that can co-operate with the bores 38 in the bodies of the runners 1 and 29.
  • the holes 36, as represented in figure 6, or the holes 37 are executed oblongly according to the longitudinal direction of said runners 1 and 29.
  • the connection between the elements 30 and 31 and the runners 1 and 29 takes place by means of bolts not represented in the figures.
  • a free space 39 is left between the outer ends of runners 1 and 29.
  • the whole can be sealed at the bottom by means of a closing strip 40.
  • reverse tees 26 can also be applied in upright position. They are then executed in such a way that the hemmed edges 41 of the horizontal flange 42 can co-operate with the underside of an I-runner 1 or 29, whereas at the other hand they have an internally tapering cut-out 43 at the outer end of the central wall 44 that can co-operate with the enlarged upper edge 45 of a reverse T-runner.
