Definitions

  • the invention relates to a connector for ceiling systems.
  • EP 0 956 405 B1 discloses a ceiling system with a subassembly comprising a profile rail and at least one universal suspension element.
  • the profile rail is in cross section a C-rail which is open at the top and which is made of sheet metal.
  • the suspension element is made of a single-piece sheet metal part, which, at its two ends, has a respective anchor portion with lateral incisions. The spacing between the incisions is dimensioned such that the peripheries of the C-rails can be accommodated when the peripheries are directed towards each other.
  • the suspension element has a center piece connecting the two anchor portions, wherein in each case one weakening line is provided along the connecting lines between the center piece and the two anchor portions. A further weakening line is provided in the center of the center piece between the two connecting lines between the center piece and the two anchor portions. Further, a series of bores runs from one of the two anchor portions at least beyond the center of the center piece.
  • the weakening lines are formed by two peripheral notches on the opposite peripheries of the suspension element.
  • the bores are used for taking up a hook which can be connected with a supporting structure of a building.
  • two parallel spaced longitudinal rows of adjacent beads are provided.
  • the suspension element can be used in its full extension to fix the profile rail on a beam or the like. Further it can be folded along its weakening lines around the edges of a beam and be fixed on the same. In a third alternative, the suspension element can be folded along its central weakening line, along which a slot is provided, and can be used by this doubling on itself for holding the profile rail by means of a hook connected to a ceiling and the like.
  • the subassembly is not provided for connecting a ceiling grid with a wall.
  • WO 2005/017274 A1 discloses a connecting system for profiled rails used in a ceiling grid.
  • the connecting system comprises a connector, which has a middle bottom and two angled limbs laterally formed thereon.
  • the connector has a U-shape in cross-section.
  • Each lateral limb has near each of its two ends two tabs, facing each other and extending from the limb on the same side such as to form a splice piece for taking up a fish plate.
  • fish plates are the legs of a connecting element, which are connected by a sheet section extending perpendicular to the legs. The sheet section extends on one side beyond the legs and is bent rectangularly and outwardly, i.e. off from the legs, to act as a clamping part.
  • the connector and the connecting element form an element unit, which can be fixed to another element or profile rail by means of the clamping part action.
  • the connecting element is built from sheet metal in the factory and can be used only in connection with the specifically adapted connector.
  • the clamping part has a fixed predetermined position and is not intended to be used for fixing a ceiling system to a building wall, which usually is not exactly straight.
  • a wall anchor of the prior art (installation manual of Armstrong Metallmer AG, Switzerland, printed January 2005, page 82, Art. 300.144) consists of a base element having a U-shape in cross-section with a bottom part and two identical opposed side parts. With one of its free edges, the bottom part is integrally connected with a first vertical section, which in turn is integrally connected to a horizontal section, which in turn is integrally connected with a second vertical section including an aperture for fixing the wall anchor or connector to a building wall.
  • the wall anchor according to this prior art can be directly slided into C- or D-profiles. Even if the dimensions of the profiles or ceiling runners are standardized, at least three kinds of wall anchors must be supplied to adapt the fixing of the ceiling system at several locations.
  • a ceiling connector which can be used in only one design at every location of the ceiling system and which can be easily shaped and adapted at the site of its installation to the intended extension of the ceiling and to the given extension of the wall structure where it is to be fixed.
  • the connector comprises a base member having a top edge integrally connected to a top edge attachment section, a bottom edge, a first side edge integrally connected to a first side edge attachment section and a second side edge opposing the first side edge and integrally connected to a second side edge attachment section.
  • the top edge and the side edges extend substantially perpendicular to each other.
  • a relief slot is provided extending through the material.
  • In the top edge attachment section at least one further relief slot is provided extending parallel to the top edge and through the material.
  • At least one aperture is provided at least in the top edge attachment section.
  • the two side edge attachment sections are perpendicularly bent along the side edges such that they oppose each other in parallel for engagement with a ceiling grid.
  • the top edge attachment section of the connector is formable on site by bending it along its relief slots such that the at least one aperture allows fixing of the top edge attachment section in a position adapted to a building support element.
  • the connector is provided along each side edge with a relief slot, the connector is formable on site from a flat single piece which can be shipped with the lowest possible bulk volume.
  • the side edge attachment sections extend both in the same amount beyond the bottom edge of the base member.
  • a fictive prolongation of the bottom edge of the base member may extend into both side edge attachment sections in the same amount beyond the extension of the top edge of the base member.
  • the relief slots may consist of a plurality of aligned adjacent short slots or holes.
  • the connector according to the invention which can made of steel or aluminum, has one or more target bending points which are defined by relief slots which extend through the resilient material and allow for ease in bending by the ceiling installer. This permits the connector to be used in several different ceiling applications. If the side edges of the connector are provided with relief slots, it can be easily bent by an installer at the installation site and can be delivered completely flat which will make it cheaper to ship from the manufacturing facility to the customer.
  • the first embodiment of a connector as shown in Fig. 1 to 3 is made of strong resilient material, such as steel or aluminum.
  • the connector comprises a base member 10.
  • the base member 10 has a top edge 11, integrally connected to a top edge attachment section 17, a bottom edge 12, a first side edge 13 integrally connected to a first side edge attachment section 15 and a second side edge 14 opposing the first side edge 13 and integrally connected to a second side edge attachment section 16.
  • top edge 11 and the side edges 13, 14 extend substantially perpendicular to each other.
  • a relief slot 22 is provided in the top edge attachment section 17 .
  • a further relief slot 23 is provided extending parallel to the top edge 11.
  • the relief slots 22 and 23 extend through the material of the connector.
  • apertures 19 are provided for inserting mechanical fasteners therethrough.
  • the connector is formable on the installation site by bending.
  • the two side edge attachment sections 15, 16 are perpendicularly bent along their side edges 13, 14 such that they oppose each other in parallel for engagement with a ceiling grid. This can be made in factory or on site.
  • the top edge attachment section 17 is formable on site along its relief slots 22 and 23 such that at least one of the apertures 19 allows fixing of the top edge attachment section 17 of the connector in a position adapted to a building support element 30, i.e. the building wall (Fig. 5 to 7).
  • the connector of Fig. 1 to 3 is shown formed into one shape in which it can be used.
  • the side edge attachment sections 15 and 16 can be attached to a ceiling panel by sliding them into a splice receiving channel of a C- or D-profile of a ceiling runner.
  • the relief slots 22 and 23 provide ease in bending for an installing person taking into account that the relief slots 22 and 23 act as an identifying mark indicating where the connector is to be bent.
  • a relief slot 20 is provided along the side edge 13 and a relief slot 21 is provided along the opposing side edge 14.
  • the connector of this second embodiment can be transported as a flat single piece and can be formed on site to the shape of the connector of Fig. 1 to 3 by first bending the side edge attachment sections 15, 16 on site perpendicularly to the base member 10 along the relief slots 20 and 21, respectively, such that the side edge attachment sections 15, 16 extend in the same direction from the base member 10 parallel to each other, whereafter the top attachment section 17 is adapted as stated above.
  • the bending along the relief slots 20 and 21, respectively, is less difficult on site than the bending without such relief slots according to the first embodiment.
  • the side edge attachment sections 15 and 16 extend both in the same amount beyond the bottom edge 12 of the base member 10, while the bottom edge 12 of the base member 10 extends into both side edge attachment sections 15, 16 in the same amount beyond the extension of the top edge 11 of the base member 10 providing undercuts, which can be seen on the lower right part in Fig. 2.
  • apertures 19 can also be provided in the base member 10 and - not shown - in the side edge attachment sections 15 and 16, if necessary.
  • the relief slots 20 to 23 as shown in Fig. 1 to 4 can be replaced by a plurality of aligned adjacent short slots or holes, that have the same effect with regard to identification of the bending line and of ease of bending, giving the connector its flexibility and its performance to be used in a plurality of fixing positions.
  • Fig. 5 shows schematically the use of a connector fixing a ceiling consisting of runners and ceiling plates to a wall 30 of building.
  • a rectangular edge angle 31 is fixed with its one vertical leg to the wall by means of screws 32.
  • the horizontal leg of the edge angle 31 is used for supporting ceiling runners.
  • Such ceiling runners may be C-profiles 35 (Fig. 6) or D-profiles 36.
  • the D-profile 36 shown in Fig. 5 and supporting ceiling panels 38 is arranged to form a "sloped" ceiling.
  • the connector according to the invention is inserted into the D-profile 36 with its side edge attachment sections, of which only the section 15 is shown.
  • the side attachment sections are bent on site by the installing person from the base member 10 along the relief slots 20 and 21, respectively, such that they fit into the D-profile 36 and hold the profile 36 securely.
  • the top edge 11 of the base member 10 is bent along the relief slot 22 as shown in Fig. 5.
  • the top edge attachment section 17 is bent such that its upper part is flush with the surface of the wall 30.
  • the screw 39 is inserted through the aperture 19 and fixed to the wall 30.
  • a C-profile 35 for a subceiling is attached to the wall 30 of a building by means of the connector of the invention.
  • the side edge attachment sections of which only the section 16 is shown, are brought into supporting engagement with the C-profile 35 by sliding into the C-profile 35.
  • the C-profile 35 is supported by the edge angle 31 fixed to the wall 30.
  • the C-profile 35 is fixed to the wall 30 by means of the top edge attachment section 17 in a straight condition, i.e. not bent along the relief slot 23.
  • the edge angle 31 has a cross-sectional profile of two steps with two horizontal parts and two vertical parts, the vertical part with the free end being fixed to the wall 30, while the horizontal part having the free end supports the C-profile 35.
  • the C-profile 35 is held by the connector as shown in Fig. 6 with the side edge attachment sections, of which only the side attachment section 16 is shown, inserted into the C-profile 35.
  • the connector has its top edge attachment section 17 bent along the top edge 11 of the base member 10 and the relief slot 22 to a horizontal part and along the relief slot 23 into a vertical part parallel to the wall 30 for fixing it through the aperture 19.
  • Fig. 8 is similar to the embodiment of Fig. 7 as far as the wall angle 31 is concerned, which has on its intermediate vertical portion two spaced horizontal flanges 33 and 34 contacting at their ends the free edges of the undercut mentioned above in connection with Fig. 3.
  • the connector is bent on side in accordance with Fig. 7.
  • Fig. 9 shows the use of two connectors according to the invention in connection with D-profiles 36 as main runner and two cross runners.
  • Each D-profile 36 has a bottom with an outer flange and two opposing side walls, the upper ends of which are bent inwardly.
  • the connectors are pushed into the cross-runners and hold them on the side limbs of the main runner.
  • the top edge attachment sections 17 of the connectors are bent into a somewhat vertical position along the relief slot 23.
  • the connectors can be fixed by a self-drilling screw (not shown in Fig. 9) to the top or side part of the D-profile 36.
