Definitions

  • This invention relates to the provision of devices for the shaping of surface members such as wall or ceiling surfaces for the purpose of housing or otherwise augmenting the functioning of various utilitarian devices.
  • the present invention relates to a method and apparatus for forming specific shapes in surface members (such as wall or ceiling linings) or in the surface of concrete slabs and also to an apparatus and method for housing light fittings, air conditioning registers and other devices used in architectural interiors, which is installed by fixing the same shaping member to the front or rear surface of the same surface member.
  • the present invention relates to a method and apparatus for suspending and shaping surface members, including building boards such as plasterboard or fibre cement sheeting.
  • the present invention relates to a method and apparatus for forming specific shapes in concrete slabs (herein called surface members) and also to an apparatus and method for housing light fittings, air conditioning registers, fire extinguishing services and other devices used in architectural interiors, which is preferably installed by using the same shaping member as form work around which the cqncrete is poured.
  • Most surface mounted, recessed or semi recessed light fittings and other devices currently available are obviously apparent in the wall or ceiling lining within which the same device is fitted and are obvious attachments to the wall or ceiling.
  • a standard type of recessed light fitting has the disadvantage of drawing the users attention to the light fitting rather than to the area illuminated by the same fitting, especially when the exposed parts of the said fitting are of a different colour to the ceiling in which they are mounted.
  • most recessed or semi recessed light fittings available detract from the visual amenity of the architectural interiors in which they are used and very often make ceilings appear cluttered.
  • the present invention provides a novel method of creating forms in standard wall or ceiling linings such as plasterboard, fibrous plaster, compressed fibrous cement, medium density fibre board and other fibre boards, cement render and set plaster as well as in concrete slabs or precast concrete systems.
  • the said forms created may become and integral part of a utilitarian or decorative fitting, such as the housing and/or reflector of a light fitting.
  • a settable filler material or standard jointing compound usually plaster based and referred to in this document as a settable compound or filler material
  • cement render so as to create a smooth join between the present invention and the surface member of the same wall or ceiling.
  • the rear face of the perforated edge of the present invention is designed to be fixed to the surface of the surface member such as a ceiling or wall lining into which the shaping member is to be installed preferably with screws, clouts or clips before the settable compound or cement render is applied.
  • the same effect may also be achieved by securing to the rear face of the said surface member a fixing flange which is formed into or attached to the shaping member in such a way that it protrudes proud of the exposed face of the same surface member when installed so as to facilitate the application of a settable compound to cover any gap between the same shaping member and the same surface member as well as to form a smooth and continuous surface between the two said members.
  • the said connection allows the exposed surface of the wall or ceiling lining to be continuous with the exposed surface of the present invention and therefore making the same connection almost unapparent to the human eye.
  • the most exposed surface of the present invention can thus be painted the same colour as the wall or ceiling lining into which it is installed.
  • the shaping member forms part of the ceiling or wall lining it can be said that the same wall or ceiling lining, due to the present invention, may be shaped to form part of a light fitting designed in accordance with the present invention which is a feature that is both visually satisfying to the human eye and in the case of recessed ceiling fittings, produces a low level of glare from the said light fitting.
  • the same ceiling or wall so formed by this component of the said light fitting also has the duel function of acting as the reflector of the light fitting or as an additional reflector for the light fitting and therefore resulting in an economy of means.
  • a fine line may be apparent at the edge of the said shaping member depending on the way the settable compound was applied and sanded. If it is preferable that no said fine line is apparent after having been painted, additional settable compound may be applied to the line and sanded after drying and additional coats of paint may be applied and sanded between coats after drying.
  • Another aspect of the present invention relates to the provision of supporting members integral to the present invention and applicable when the same invention is wider or longer than the distance between the framing members supporting the said surface member (such as plaster board) and thus the surface member will not be strong enough to support the present invention which will need to be supported by means of suspension rods or framing members or the like.
  • a different method of construction is employed in which the present invention is secured in its final position before the surface member is fixed in position.
  • the framing members supporting the said surface member must also be in position prior to the installation of the same surface member.
  • the same surface member is fixed to the support members integral to the present invention and to the said framing members.
  • the present invention thus has the additional function of supporting the said surface member in a similar manner to the way the same surface member is supported by the said framing members.
  • One method of joining the present invention to ceiling or wall linings has similarities to the method used to create straight and durable corners in plasterboard walls lining in which a perforated length of metal (called a setting bead) with a cross section in the approximate shape of a right angle, is secured with screws or clouts to the external corners of plasterboard lined walls commonly used in architectural applications.
  • a setting bead a perforated length of metal
  • the setting bead is completely covered with a plaster-based settable compound, which adheres to the plasterboard wall and the setting bead.
  • the perforations in the setting bead facilitate adhesion to the jointing compound and to the wall or ceiling lining.
  • the setting bead is normally completely covered with jointing compound (settable material) that is easily sanded to provide a smooth finish.
  • the shaping member will be seen at the said junction, when installed, to be continuous with the surrounding wall or ceiling surfaces to which it is connected. This is made possible by the configuration of the edge of the said shaping member which comprise a perforated edge, which can be of varying width and stepped down along its length in direction toward the surface to which it is connected and thereby facilitating the application of the jointing compound or cement render.
  • the application of the said jointing compound or said cement render may be completed with the use of a steel trowel or other device preferably with a straight edge, the edge of which may be dragged along the edge of the said step along the perforated edge strip of the said shaping member whilst remaining in contact with the surface of the same surface member during the operation.
  • the settable material (jointing compound) or cement render would thus fill the perforations in the edge strip of the shaping member and ensure good bonding between the same shaping member and the surrounding surface member.
  • the surface of the said shaping member which is finished in line with the surrounding surfaces by virtue of the above procedure, may be formed into a shape necessary to contain or support or otherwise be attached to the other elements of the same device (such as a lamp holder for example).
  • the shaping member will be seen, when installed, to be continuous with the surrounding surface member, such as wall or ceiling surfaces, to which it is connected.
  • the configuration of the said shaping member which is shaped so as to protrude proud (herein after the exposed corner of which shall be called a proud protrusion) of the face of the surface member in such a way that the application of the said jointing compound or said cement render may be completed with the use of a steel trowel or other device preferably with a straight edge, the edge of which may be dragged along the part of the said shaping member protruding proud (called the proud protrusion) of the said shaping member whilst remaining in contact with the surface of the same surface member during the operation.
  • the settable compound would thus fill the gap between the edge of the shaping member and the adjoining surface member and also cover the surface of the same surface member surrounding the joint with the said shaping member and form a preferably smooth and continuous surface between the two said members.
  • screws or other fixing devices should preferably used to securely connect the same surface member with the same shaping member.
  • the cement render should preferably be applied to the substrate and be in line and in contact with the same proud protrusion in the same shaping member.
  • the surface of the said shaping member which is finished in line with the surrounding surfaces by virtue of the above procedure, may be formed into a shape necessary to contain or support or otherwise be attached to the other elements of the same device (such as a lamp holder for example).
  • the edge of the step of the said perforated edge may be formed into a curved surface of very small radius (for example 1 mm) in order to allow the surface of the surface and shaping members such as a wall or ceiling lining to change planar direction at a relatively sharp angle (for example 90 degrees) at the junction of the said shaping member with the jointing compound applied to the surface member (the same shaping member may form the reflector and/or housing to a light fitting for example).
  • This type of small radius junction not only allows for a different aesthetic as described in the first form of the invention described above but also allows for the fitting of a light diffuser or other member that may be positioned in line with the surface of the said wall or ceiling thus allowing for an elegant aesthetic.
  • the said diffuser or other member would therefore appear as an inlay in the surface of the wall or ceiling thus reducing the visual impact of the said light fitting in terms of the number of components exposed to view.
  • the shaping member may form the reflector and housing for the light fitting.
  • a light diffuser can also be positioned so as to be recessed into the said wall or ceiling surface at a distance from the same junction and thereby further reducing glair and directing the light output onto a smaller area.
  • a diffuser may be formed so as to project beyond the surface of the said wall or ceiling in a curved or angular shape so as to allow the light to be diffused over a greater area than the previously described forms of the invention.
  • a rectilinear shape may be formed in the said surface member in such an manner that a concave diffuser may be positioned behind the opening so created by the same small radius junction type shaping member and sit entirely within the same shaping member along with the lamp(s) and electrical gear and so configured to allow the entire face of the diffuser to be illuminated.
  • L-shaped cleats may be formed into or attached to the said perforated edge of the said shaping member in such a manner that when they are inserted into a suitably shaped cut out in the said building board type surface members, the same shaping member may be rotated in such a manner that the L-shaped cleats overlap the same shaping member, allowing for the insertion of screws into designated holes in the said perforated edge to be drilled through the same surface member into the same L-shaped cleat.
  • the same L-shaped cleat ensures that the same surface member is thoroughly secured relative to the said shaping member and therefore any differential movement, such as that caused by thermal expansion and contraction of the surface member relative to the shaping member, will be constrained, preventing cracking of the said filler material (settable compound), within normal operating conditions.
  • spring metal cleats may be attached to the said perforated edge strip of the said shaping member in such a manner that when they are inserted into a suitably shaped cut out in the said building board type shaping members, the same spring metal cleats will deform during insertion and resume their original shape in such a manner that spring metal cleats overlap the same shaping member, allowing for the insertion of screws into designated holes in the said perforated edge to be drilled through the same surface member into a perforation in the same spring metal cleats.
  • the same spring metal cleats ensures that the same surface member is thoroughly secured relative to the said shaping member and therefore any differential movement caused by thermal expansion and contraction of the same surface member relative to the same shaping member will be constrained, preventing cracking of the said filler material, within normal operating conditions.
  • L-shaped, pivoting bracket may be attached to the said perforated edge of the said shaping member in such a manner that when they are inserted into a suitably shaped cut out in the said building board type surface members, the same L-shaped, pivoting bracket may be rotated with a screw driver or other tool in such a manner that L-shaped, pivoting bracket overlaps the same surface member, allowing for the insertion of a screw into the designated holes in the said perforated edge to be drilled through the same surface member into a perforation the same L-shaped, pivoting bracket.
  • the same L- shaped, pivoting bracket ensures that the same surface member is thoroughly secured relative to the said shaping member and therefore any differential movement caused by thermal expansion and contraction of the same surface member relative to the same shaping member will be constrained, preventing cracking of the said filler, within normal operating conditions.
  • spring metal clips may be attached to the inside edge of the said perforated edge of the said shaping member in such a manner that when the present invention is inserted into a suitably shaped cut out in the said building board type shaping members, the same spring metal clips will deform during insertion and resume their original shape in such a manner that spring metal clips put force on the same shaping member in order to hold the said shaping member still relative to the same surface member.
  • the edge and the surrounding surfaces of the said cut out are preferably to be covered with suitable adhesive before insertion of the present form of the invention into the said cut out.
  • the same spring metal clips ensures that the same adhesive is allowed to dry in a manner such that the surface member is thoroughly adhered to the said shaping member and therefore any differential movement caused by thermal expansion and contraction of the same surface member relative to the same shaping member will be constrained, preventing cracking of the said filler material, within normal operating conditions.
  • the same spring metal clip may be attached to a cleat formed from the same shaping member with the advantage that fixing components such as rivets will not interfere or protrude into with the same surface member. Note that standard filler material alone may prevent differential movement over the normal life of the invention if the said shaping member is relatively small.
  • the cracking in the said filler material due to differential movement may be so fine so as not to be apparent to the human eye especially when pained and is therefore an acceptable form of the invention.
  • it may be necessary to accommodate differential movement between the said light fitting and the surrounding wall or ceiling surfaces to which it is joined if the size of the said light fitting is large enough to warrant the consideration of such differential movement.
  • special joints to be referred to as "slip joints” in this document
  • slip joint may comprise elongated openings in the main body of the same device into which is inserted metal pins, studs or threaded studs (for use with fastening nuts) attached to the shaping member that is connected to the surface member.
  • the slip joint may be a similar system that would allow for the main body of the light fitting to expand or contract independently of the ceiling or the wall within a limited range of movement. Adhering an elastic or flexible strip between the said shaping member and the body of the device in question may form another form of the said slip joint described above.
  • the shaping member may be made of any suitable material, such as metal, moulded plastic, fibre cement or compressed fibre cement.
  • the perforations in the strip along the perforated edge may be made in various suitable shapes and sizes.
  • the same perforated edge may also be segmented and / or have any variety of incisions or a combination of perforations and notches.
  • the shaping member is formed of a material that is relatively thin compared to the surface member and strong in tension so that the penetration of the fixing devices such as self-tapping screws is facilitated. Fibre reinforced cast plaster is not an acceptable material for the current invention.
  • the said fitting is a light fitting, such as a dome with electrical gear, lamp and diffuser contained within the same dome, the body of the dome acting as the ceiling lining, the reflector and the housing, in part, for the same light fitting.
  • the said shaping member may form the lighting pelmet surrounding the perimeter for a dome for use in a ceiling, the same pelmet forming an upturn in the same ceiling surface member and, as seen in plan view, be formed as a circle, oval, oblong or other shape with lighting device(s) fitted within the same pelmet to provide light to the said dome mounted above and enclosing the said pelmet.
  • the said fitting is a light fitting formed into a rectilinear shape wherein it can be said that the fitting shapes the said surface member to form not only the housing and reflector of the said light fitting but also the support means of the diffuser. This may be achieved by forming ledges within either side of the said body of the said fitting upon which a light diffuser may rest.
  • Electrical gear may be positioned within the same housing or located remotely from the same fitting. Perforations may be made within the same reflector / housing to secure lamps, enable cable entries and provide for support structures.
  • the said fitting is a light fitting formed into a recessed light fitting wherein it can be said that the fitting shapes the said surface member into a concave shape to form the housing and reflector of the said light fitting within which the electrical gear(s), lamp(s) and, if necessary, light diffusers are housed.
  • the said fitting is a light fitting that shapes part of the wall or ceiling lining to form a convex protrusion in the same surface member and may preferably accommodate electrical gear(s), lamp(s) and diffuser(s).
  • the present invention may form a structural member, when supported from other structural elements, capable of providing support to the said surface member and thereby facilitating installation and reducing the number of structural elements needed to support the said surface member (assuming that the surface member is a building board type member).
  • the said shaping member may form part of any type of vent such as an air conditioning outlet, a sprinkler, or any other fitting normally used in conjunction with and architectural elements including walls, ceilings or eaves linings.
  • one aspect of the present invention provides a method of forming shapes integral with the said surface member, which comprises the steps of:
  • said shaping member within or about the said opening (the said shaping member has a flat perforated strip along its outside edge with a step along the side of the said perforated edge strip closest to the body of the said shaping member) in a manner whereby the inside surface of the said perforated edge is attached to the said surface member around and in line with the said opening and so that the same adhesive applied to the same opening is well connected to the said shaping member; and, after the said adhesive has set, providing a layer of settable material over the said perforated edge to the said step along the same perforated edge.

This may be achieved with the use of an appropriate tool such as a broad knife or a trowel, which is run along the two adjacent proud protrusions 5. If necessary sand the settable compound 2 after it dries to ensure a smooth surface, which preferably should be suitable for a paint finish and should preferably be finished so that no joint is visible after painting. It can be said that, in this form of the invention, the shaping member 1 , as well as shaping the ceiling lining also forms part of the structural support system for the same surface member 7 as well as for the primary framing member 6p. It will be realized that the shaping member according to this invention is not restricted to the form illustrated and may be used to form square, rectangular, oblong, curvilinear or any other shapes.
