Abstract
Description
- 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.
- It is known to compose suspended ceilings with ceiling grids under which or between which ceiling panels are fitted, said ceiling grids being composed by means of steel runners. In order to not make havier this construction unnecessarily, roll-formed runners are used. Up to now mainly double-web reverse T-runners or angle runners have been applied. It is also known herein to use single-web, roll-formed I-runners. These runners, however, have the disadvantage that the greatest spans, in other words the greatest distance between two suspension points upon applying light-weight ceiling tiles, must not exceed 1.5 m, and upon applying heavier tiles and in the case of fire-resisting constructions should amount to only 1.2 m at most. Hence, said runners are not suited for places wherein not enough points of suspension can be provided.
- It is also known, in order to achieve that ceiling grids should resist as long as possible in the case of a fire, to provide said T-runners with zones allowing their expansion. Such zones are formed by local weakenings or cut-outs in the runners, which in the case of an expansion of the latter provide for a local deformation that does not exercise a prejudicial influence on the ceiling grid. The use of such local weakenings, however, is only suited for the relatively light-weight ceiling-grid runners and in no respect are suited for heavier runners such as e.g. I-runners.
- So, it is an object of the present invention to provide for a runner for suspended ceilings by means of which great spans between two suspension points can be realized.
- 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. Especially a connector is concerned which is intended for taking care of the connection of I-runners.
- So, 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.
- Further, 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.
- In view of better showing the characteristics of the present invention, some preferred embodiments are described hereinafter by way of examples without limiting the scope of the invention and with reference to the accompanying drawings, wherein :
- Figure 1 represents the runner according to the invention;
- Figures 2 to 5 represent parts of ceiling grids wherein the runner according to the invention is being applied;
- Figure 6 represents a perspective view of the connector as well as a connection obtained thereby; and
- Figure 7 represents a cross-section according to line 7-7 in figure 6.
- As represented in figure 1, 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 astrip 3. The I-shaped element 2 has aflange 4 formed by an outer wall 5, which at the edges 6 and 7 of saidflange 4 is hemmed and blends with the inner wall 8 of saidflange 4. Both thus formedparts 9 and 10 of this inner wall 8, substantially in the middle offlange 4 are hemmed perpendicularly out of the plane of said flange and hereby blend with twoadjacent walls 11 and 12 forming thebody 13 of said I-shaped element 2. Finally, each ofsaid walls 11 and 12 blends withouter ends body 13, said outer ends constituting thesecond flange 16 of the I-shaped element 2.Strip 3 adapts itself to saidsecond flange 16 and can co-operate herewith by means of hook-shapedhemmed sides edges flange 16. - As is represented in figures 2 to 5, 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. As is represented in figures 2 and 3, transverse splines can be provided inbody 13, wherein, e.g., T-runners 21 withcoupling hooks 22 can be fitted in such a way that saidsecond flange 16 is on a level with theflanges 22 of the reverse T-runners 21. - As is represented in figure 4, e.g., 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. Such a ceiling grid has the advantage that it can be suspended completely by means of fasteners exclusively by the I-runners. - As is represented in figure 5, still other runners known by themselves can either be laid on the I-
runners 1 according to the present invention or be fixed below them. - The ceiling grid according to the invention can also show cross tees consisting of the abovesaid I-runners. Preferably special spacer clips (connectors) are used herein that allow to connect the transverse and longitudinal I-runners on one and the same level. These spacer clips are disclosed in a separate Patent Application of the Applicant.
- In all of the abovesaid ceiling grids 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 thestrip 3, offers the advantage that only thestrips 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. - As represented in figures 2, 5 and 6 the I-runners are fixed to
hangers 27 by means ofreverse tees 26 that act on theirupper flange 4. Of course, the I-runners according to the present invention can be suspended in other ways too, wherein optionally known hangers can be used. - In figures 6 and 7 a
connector 28 according to the present invention is represented. Said connector provides for the connection of two ceilign runners in line, e.g. worunners Connector 28 consists mainly of twoelements sides runners elements respective runners runners elements central parts sides runners elements runners holes 36 and 37 that are applied correspondingly in theelements bores 38 in the bodies of therunners runners holes 36, as represented in figure 6, or the holes 37 are executed oblongly according to the longitudinal direction of saidrunners elements runners - Upon using
connector 28, of course afree space 39 is left between the outer ends ofrunners closing strip 40. - It is represented in figure 6 too that according to the present invention said
reverse tees 26 can also be applied in upright position. They are then executed in such a way that thehemmed edges 41 of thehorizontal flange 42 can co-operate with the underside of an I-runner central wall 44 that can co-operate with the enlargedupper edge 45 of a reverse T-runner. - The present invention is by no means restricted to the embodiments described as examples and represented in the accompanying drawings, but such I-runner as well as the ceiling grids obtained by it and the connector used therein can be realized in any forms and dimensions whatsoever, without departing from the scope of the present invention.
