Abstract
Description
- The invention relates to the edge detail of ceiling tiles designed to fit into standard exposed grid suspension systems such as is known from GB-A-2 163 787. More particularly, the invention relates to a ceiling system comprising a suspended lattice grid including inverted tee main runners and inverted cross tees, and ceiling tiles carried by the suspended lattice grid, the tiles having a width corresponding to the centre distance of the inverted tee main runners and a length corresponding to the centre distance of the inverted cross tees, each tile on two opposite sides having slots for receiving the flanges of opposite inverted tee main runners such that the downwardly facing slot surfaces of the tile rest on the upper flange surfaces such that the lower side portions of the tile below the downwardly facing slot surfaces form first tongues concealing the inverted tee main runners, the upper portions of said two opposite sides adjacent the slots being cut back enabling, together with said slots, the tile to be positioned on the inverted tee main runners, the upper portions of the remaining two opposite ends of the tile also being cut back allowing the back of the tile to fit between the inverted cross tees while leaving lower tongues to conceal the inverted cross tees, the tiles being symmetrical about their centreline axis thus having slots being mirror images.
- The object of the invention is to improve a ceiling system of this kind such that when the ceiling tiles are fitted they conceal the grid and are fully demountable.
- This object is achieved by the ceiling system being that characterized in that the upper portion adjacent each slot has a single step, the thickness of the portion being reduced by the step at the end closer to the cut-back, the upper step surface, in the plane of the tile, being flat over its width for resting on the upper flat flange surfaces of the associated inverted tee main runner and having a depth ensuring that the tile is equally supported on the two associated upper flange surfaces by engagement between the edges of the flanges, and the bottoms of the steps, and
the dimensions of each slot are such that a first tongue of a tile can pass into the slot of an adjacent tile, thereby enabling a tile to be fully independently demountable without disturbing adjacent tiles. - The invention will now be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, wherein:
- Figure 1 is a schematic view of a known ceiling system,
- Figure 2 is a schematic view taken along the line B-B in figure 1.
- Figure 3 is a schematic view of an other known ceiling system.
- Figure 4 is a schematic view taken along the line D-D in figure 3.
- Figure 5 is a schematic view of a ceiling system according to the invention.
- Figure 6 is a schematic view taken along the line F-F in figure 5.
- Figures 7-9 are schematic views illustrating, the mounting of a tile in a ceiling system according to the invention.
- There are two basic forms of suspended ceilings:
- 1/ Concealed Grid Systems
The object is to conceal the suspension grid from view when the ceiling tiles are fixed in position. A typical concealed fix ceiling tile edge detail is shown in figures 1 and 2. The concealed grid suspension section is fixed to a channel sub-grid with wire clips, in turn the sub-grid is suspended on wire hangers fixed to the structural soffite. The ceiling tiles are then slid along the grid into position. - 2/ Exposed Grid System
Figures 3 and 4 show a typical exposed grid system consisting of inverted tee sections. The main tee is suspended from the structural soffite on wire hangers and cross tees are fixed to the main tee in various ways so as to form a fairly rigid accurated lattice-work with the flanges of main and cross tees at the same level. The ceiling tiles are simply laid on the inverted tee section grid leaving the flange of the grid exposed to view. - FR-A-1 152 496 discloses a ceiling system comprising concealed inverted tee runners and ceiling boxes suspended on the runners. No cross tees are provided. Instead on the two corresponding sides, each celing box has vertical walls which are to be in direct stabilizing contact with the walls of the adjacent boxes. The remaining two sides of the box also have vertical walls which are to be in direct stabilizing contact with the walls of the adjacent boxes. In addition thereto, the first mentioned walls have thin supporting end hooks for cooperation with ribs at the edges of the flanges of the inverted tee runners.
- The trend in the suspended ceiling market is moving away from concealed suspension systems mainly because the various patented methods with exposed grid systems of connecting main tees to cross tees has led to a quick, accurate and easy to install system popular with on-site operatives and less expensive to the customer.
- Suspended ceiling tiles currently produced for either concealed or exposed grid systems cannot be fixed to standard exposed grid systems such as to conceal the grid and be fully demountable. However, a ceiling tile manufactured in accordance with the invention incorporating edges as shown in figure 5 can be fixed to a standard exposed grid system and will conceal the grid from view and each tile will be independently demountable.
- Figure 5 shows a
ceiling tile 1 where the dimension 'X' equals the width of the upper part offlange 2 of the invertedtee grid 3. The detail of theceiling tile 1 below the theflange 2 shows abevelled edge 4. (This detail can vary to correspond with current concealed type ceiling tiles and could be square, channeled or any desired shape). - The depth of the
slots 5 & 6 related to theceiling tile edges 7 & 8 is critical and must also correspond to the dimension of theflange 2 of the inverted tee 3 (small tolerances will have to be allowed for practical purposes). - The overall dimension of the
ceiling tile 1 below theflange 2 of the invertedtee 3 will be the same as the centres of thetee 3 whereas the overall dimension of the back of theceiling tile 1 will be reduced by 'X' (2 x 0.5 'X' at either edge). The depth ofslot 5 will be 'X' to allow the tile to be slid fully onto theR.H. flange 2 of the inverted tee 3 (cf. also figs. 7 & 8). Thereafter theceiling tile 1 is pushed upwards until theslot 6 is level with the L.H.flange 2 of the invertedtee 3. Theceiling tile 1 is then slid onto theleft hand flange 2 of the inverted tee (3) (cf. also figs. 8 & 9). The depth of the top section ofslot 6 0.5 'X' will ensure theceiling tile 1 is equally supported on half of theavailable flange 2 i.e. half the possible bearing available. - Figure 6 shows the
ceiling tile 1 with a cut-outsection 9 on the back right and left hand sides and an overall rear dimension which is -2 'X' (2 x 1 'X') less than the inside stalk of the invertedtee 3. This allows the back portion of thetile 1 to fit between the flanges of the invertedtee grid 3. - The detail of figure 6 below the
flange 2 is not critical and can be any of the afore metioned details and could incorporate a slot to receive a spline similar to the standard concealed ceiling grid ceiling tiles (figure 2). - Ceiling tiles manufactured in accordance with the invention incorporating edges shown in figure 5 have the following advantages:-
- Fully demountable
- Combines the advantages of exposed grid systems (economic, popular, accurate) with the asthetic advantage of a concealed grid system ceiling.
- Quicker therefore cheaper to install than conventional concealed systems.
- Existing exposed grid system ceilings can be changed to concealed type ceilings at will or when normal re-placement occurs (approx every 10 years) without removing the existing exposed grid system.
- The new edge detail concealed ceiling tiles are fixed to the exposed grid system within the depth of the exposed grid (impossible with an exposed grid type tile), a great advantage where suspension depth is limited.
