Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a system according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • Said document describes a system for a suspended ceiling of a cloth-like ceiling material, wherein use is made of a lamp mounting element for mounting a lamp, such as a downlight, in the ceiling.
  • Said lamp mounting element comprises a square plate, which is provided with four attachment blocks near its corner points, via which the plate is fixed to the main ceiling of the room by means of screws. Then the ceiling cloth is stretched under the lamp mounting element, whereupon a hole is formed in the cloth opposite a hole that is present in the centre of a cup-shaped, downwardly extending indentation in the square plate. Subsequently a lamp system is connected to the square plate via said hole by means of springs.
  • the attachment blocks are so dimensioned that the bottom side of the cup-shaped indentation abuts against the upper side of the ceiling cloth precisely without any tension. This requires a high level of skill and precision upon installation of the ceiling system.
  • French patent applications FR-A1-2647139 , FR-A1-2688867 and FR-A1-2699648 describe devices for mounting a downlight in a suspended ceiling.
  • a common feature of the devices described in said documents is the fact that they require a considerable installation height, which renders their use in private environments problematic.
  • the known devices are of complex construction, comprising a large number of different components, whilst they do not leave the space centrally above the downlight clear but rather use it for attachment to the main ceiling of the room in question.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a system for a suspended ceiling as referred to in the introductory paragraph which requires a significantly less high degree of precision upon installation as regards the operations for fitting a ceiling device in the cloth-like ceiling material thereof than is the case with the prior art, but in which furthermore the drawbacks of the systems according to the aforesaid French patent applications no longer play a role, or at least to a significantly smaller degree.
  • the system according to the invention is characterized as indicated in the characterizing portion of claim 1.
  • the fixing part may abut flat against the main ceiling and be connected thereto by means of screws extending into the main ceiling via holes in the fixing part.
  • the fixing part of the base mounting element may also extend at the bottom side of the first tubular part, in which case the fixation of the base mounting element to the main ceiling takes place by means of attachment blocks similar to those described in NL 1003163 .
  • the system according to the invention furthermore makes it possible to reduce the number of main components and to use components of simple design, for example injection-moulded components. Moreover, the space centrally above the ceiling device can be kept clear, for example for realising a passage for an electrical lead or a pipe through the main ceiling.
  • the threaded connection makes it possible to position the adjusting mounting element with respect to the base mounting element in a continuously variable and precise manner, using constructionally simple means.
  • Fixation of the base mounting element to the main ceiling will be easy in particular if the fixing part is made up of a flange part that extends outwards from the first tubular part.
  • the threaded connection is located centrally above the ceiling device.
  • adjustment of the adjusting mounting element can take place via the hole in the cloth-like ceiling material, which has been formed therein for the purpose of accommodating the ceiling device.
  • the contact surface is spherical in shape, thus preventing the presence of acute transitions in the ceiling material, which might be visually objectionable.
  • the contact surface preferably extends within the diameter of the second tubular part.
  • the screw thread means on the base mounting element comprise an interrupted screw thread, with a passage for an electrical lead or a pipe connecting to the ceiling device being provided between the inner side and the outer side of the screw thread at the location of at least one interruption in the screw thread.
  • the electrical lead or pipe in question extends through the passage, which takes up a spatially fixed position after the base mounting element has been fixed to the main ceiling, and which consequently is not affected upon adjustment of the adjusting mounting element with respect to the base mounting element.
  • the present invention further relates to a method for using the system according to the invention as described above.
  • the method according to the invention comprises the steps of
  • the important advantage that is obtained by using the method according to the invention is the fact that it is no longer necessary to take the eventual height of the stretched ceiling of cloth-like ceiling material into account already when constructionally connecting the mounting element to the room, but that instead the mounting element, or more specifically the adjusting mounting element thereof, can be adjusted after stretching of the cloth-like material has taken place, so that the mounting element will take up the most optimum position just above the cloth-like ceiling material.
  • Figures 1a and 1b show a base element 1 of plastic material, which mainly consists of a square flange plate 2 with a circular hole 3 centrally provided therein, and a ring 4 joining the hole 3, which is internally provided with six equally spaced screw cams 5.
  • Fixing holes 6 for fixing the base element 1 to the surrounding structure are provided in the square flange plate 2 near the corners thereof.
  • Figure 2 shows an adjusting ring 7 which is externally provided with screw thread 8, which screw thread 8 is to mate with the screw cams 5, so that the adjusting ring 7 can be screwed into and out of the ring 4 of the base element 1.
  • the adjusting ring 7 has a spherical closing end face 10 at the bottom side thereof.
  • the adjusting ring 7 is intended for the eventual fitting of a ceiling device therein, as will be explained in more detail yet with reference to figure 4 .
  • Figures 3a-3c show the adjusting ring 7 in the position in which it is screwed into the ring 4 of the base element 1.
  • the base element 1 is screwed down to girders 9 via fixing holes 6, which girders are in turn fixed to a fixed ceiling 10 via girders 11 extending perpendicularly to girders 9, as is shown in figure 4 .
  • a stretch ceiling 12 is stretched below the adjusting ring 7, for example as described in Dutch patent NL 1003163 .
  • the manner in which the stretching of the stretch ceiling 12 takes place is not relevant within the context of the present invention.
  • Figure 3b shows the situation in which the stretch ceiling 12 is flat, which has been realised by screwing the adjusting ring 7 further upwards into the base element 1, to such an extent even that a small spacing 13 is present between the bottom side of the end face 10 and the upper side of the stretch ceiling 12.
  • the presence of such a spacing 13 is undesirable as well, since there is a risk that the stretch ceiling 12 will be pulled in the direction of the adjusting ring 7, as indicated by the broken line 12', when a ceiling device is connected to the adjusting ring 7, which would also lead to a visually unacceptable situation.
  • Figure 3c shows the optimum situation, in which the bottom side of the end face 10 just abuts against the upper side of the entirely flat ceiling 12.
  • a central hole 14 can be formed in the end face of the adjusting ring 7 via the hole 16, after which a ceiling device, such as a downlight 15 as shown in figure 4 , can be connected to the adjusting ring 7 via the hole 16 in the stretch ceiling 12 and the hole 14 in the end face 10, with the stretch ceiling 12 remaining fully flat.
  • a ceiling device such as a downlight 15 as shown in figure 4
  • An important advantage that is achieved in this manner is that only a low degree of precision is required upon installation of the combination of the base element 1 and the adjusting ring 7, because it is not directly necessary for the bottom side of the end face 10 to abut against the upper side of the stretch ceiling 12.
