Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Deckenplatte zur Platzierung in einem Hängesystem.The invention relates to a ceiling plate for placement in a hanging system.

Derartige Deckenplatten, siehe beispielweise FR-A-2 727 711, werden insbesondere dazu eingesetzt, die akustischen Gegebenheiten von Räumen zu beeinflussen. Sie können daneben aber auch optische Effekte bewirken und der Wärmedämmung dienen.Such ceiling panels, see, for example FR-A-2 727 711, are used in particular to the acoustic conditions of spaces to influence. You can also use optical effects cause and serve the thermal insulation.

Die Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung besteht nun darin, eine besonders einfach ausgebildete und kostengünstig herstellbare Deckenplatte zu schaffen, mit der die Akustik von Räumen maßgeblich beeinflusst werden kann.The object of the present invention is to provide a particularly simple trained and inexpensive to produce ceiling plate to create, with the Acoustics of rooms can be significantly influenced.

Erfindungsgemäß ist zur Lösung der Aufgabe eine Deckenplatte mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 vorgesehen.According to the invention a ceiling plate with the features of claim 1 is provided to solve the problem.

Die Unterseite des Formkörpers wird durch die Wölbung des Tragelements in größerem Abstand zur Bodenfläche des Rahmens gehalten.The underside of the molding is at a greater distance by the curvature of the support element held to the bottom surface of the frame.

Diese Formplatte ist besonders stabil und hält den Formkörper genau platziert an dem für ihn bestimmten Ort. Das Material des Formkörpers kann dabei so gewählt werden, dass es schall- und/oder wärmedämmend und/oder feuerhemmend ist. Bevorzugt wird als solches Material Steinwolle verwendet.This mold plate is particularly stable and holds the molding precisely placed on the place intended for him. The material of the molding can be chosen so that it is sound and / or heat-insulating and / or fire-retardant. It is preferred used as such material rock wool.

Der Rahmen ist vorzugsweise aus Metall, insbesondere aus Stahlprofilen gebildet. The frame is preferably formed of metal, in particular of steel profiles.

Erfindungsgemäß kann der Rahmen mit nach außen abstehenden Auflagern versehen sein. Diese Auflager eignen sich dazu, auf entsprechenden Aufnahmen des Hängesystems zur Auflage zu kommen und die Deckenplatte zuverlässig zu halten. Die Auflager können über die gesamten Seitenlängen des Rahmens sich erstrecken.According to the invention, the frame can be provided with outwardly projecting supports be. These supports are suitable for use on appropriate holders of the hanging system to come to rest and to keep the ceiling plate reliable. The supports can extend over the entire side lengths of the frame.

Die Abdeckungen können als Kunststofffollien, z. B. PVC-Folie, ausgebildet sein, aber auch aus textilem Material oder aus einem anderen für den jeweiligen Einsatz zu bestimmenden Material gewählt sein. Sie können mit dem Rahmen insbesondere durch Kleben verbunden sein.The covers can be used as Kunststofffollien, z. As PVC film, be formed, but also from textile material or from another for the respective use too be selected determining material. You can use the frame in particular through Bonding be connected.

Als Material für den Formkörper eignet sich insbesondere Steinwolle. Der Formkörper kann außenseitig mittels einer Folie, z.B. einer Aluminiumfolie, abgedeckt sein.Rock wool is particularly suitable as the material for the molding. The molded body may be outside by means of a foil, e.g. an aluminum foil, be covered.

Die Deckenplatte gemäß der Ausführungsform nach den Figuren 1 und 2 besteht aus einem Metallrahmen 1, vorzugsweise aus Stahl, mit Seitenwänden 2, oberen Wangen 3 und unteren Wangen 4. An die unteren Wangen 4 schließt sich jeweils ein aufwärts gewölbter Abschnitt 5 an. Die Wangen 4 und 5 bilden Tragelemente, auf denen ein Formkörper 6 mit Abstand über einer Abdeckung 7 ruht, die wiederum mit den Wangen 4 verbunden, vorzugsweise verklebt ist. Die Abdeckung 7 kann aus einer Kunststofffolie, aus textilem Material oder aus einem anderen für die jeweilige akustische Situation geeigneten Materialen bestehen.The ceiling plate according to the embodiment of Figures 1 and 2 consists of a metal frame 1, preferably made of steel, with side walls 2, upper cheeks 3rd and lower cheeks 4. At the lower cheeks 4 each closes an upward arched section 5. The cheeks 4 and 5 form support elements on which a Shaped body 6 at a distance above a cover 7 rests, in turn, with the cheeks 4 connected, preferably glued. The cover 7 may consist of a Plastic film, made of textile material or another for each acoustic situation of suitable materials.

Der Formkörper 6 wird von den Abschnitten 5 in Anlage an der Innenseite der Wangen 3 gehalten. Er besteht vorzugsweise aus Stahlwolle.The molded body 6 is of the sections 5 in contact with the inside of the cheeks 3 held. It is preferably made of steel wool.

Die Deckenplatte ist rechteckig ausgebildet und ruht auf Lagerteilen 8 eines Hängesystems. Der Metallrahmen 1 besteht aus Stahlprofilen 9, die an den Ecken fest miteinander verbunden, insbesondere verschweißt sind.The ceiling plate is rectangular and rests on bearing parts 8 of a hanging system. The metal frame 1 consists of steel sections 9, which are fixed to each other at the corners connected, in particular welded.

Die Ausführungsform nach den Figuren 3 und 4 weicht von der soeben beschriebenen dadurch ab, dass an den Seitenwänden 2 nach außen abstehende Auflager 12 vorgesehen sind, die auf den Lagerteilen 8 des Hängesystems ruhen. The embodiment of Figures 3 and 4 differs from the just described characterized in that provided on the side walls 2 outwardly projecting supports 12 are that rest on the bearing parts 8 of the suspension system.

Figur 5 zeigt zwei Deckenplatten gemäß der Ausführungsform nach den Figuren 1 und 2 im Zusammenwirken mit den Auflagern eines Hängesystems.Figure 5 shows two ceiling panels according to the embodiment of Figures 1 and 2 in conjunction with the supports of a hanging system.

Figur 6 zeigt zwei Deckenplatten nach der Ausführungsform gemäß den Figuren 3 und 4 in Verbindung mit den Auflagern eines Hängesystems.Figure 6 shows two ceiling panels according to the embodiment of Figures 3 and 4 in conjunction with the supports of a hanging system.

In Figur 7 ist ein Metallrahmen 1 der beschriebenen Art dargestellt. Figur 8 zeigt in diesem Rahmen 1 einen Formkörper 6, wobei die Stahlprofile hier obere Wangen 15 und untere Wangen 16 haben und der Formkörper zwischen diesen Wangen sitzt. Auf den Außenseiten dieser Wangen ist jeweils eine Abdeckung 17 vorgesehen, die jeweils zu der äußeren Fläche des Formkörpers 6 einen Abstand aufweisen. Die Abdeckungen 17 sind mit den Außenflächen der Wangen 15, 16 fest verbunden, insbesondere verklebt. Es werden somit Hohlräume zwischen den Außenflächen des Formkörpers 6 einerseits und den Abdeckungen 17 andererseits gebildet. Es ist selbstverständlich möglich, eine solche Abdeckung nur auf der einen Seite der Deckenplatte vorzusehen.FIG. 7 shows a metal frame 1 of the type described. FIG. 8 shows in this Frame 1 a shaped body 6, wherein the steel profiles here upper cheeks 15 and lower cheeks 16 have and the molding sits between these cheeks. On the Outer sides of these cheeks is a cover 17 is provided, each to the outer surface of the shaped body 6 have a distance. The covers 17 are firmly connected to the outer surfaces of the cheeks 15, 16, in particular glued. There are thus cavities between the outer surfaces of the shaped body 6 on the one hand and the covers 17 on the other. It is of course possible, one to provide such cover only on one side of the ceiling plate.

Der Formkörper 6 kann außenseitig mittels einer Folie, z.B. einer Aluminiumfolie, abgedeckt sein.The shaped body 6 may be externally provided by means of a foil, e.g. an aluminum foil, covered be.
