Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a suspendable ceiling island system according to the preamble of the first claim.
  • US-A-3023861 discloses a construction for receiving acoustic tiles in a suspendable grid.
  • the square pattern is obtained by having parallel spaced-apart main runners attached to each other by cross runners on opposite longitudinal sides of the main runner, therefore forming a square pattern grid wherein the acoustic tiles can be received.
  • Each runner comprises a longitudinal upward web and two horizontal longitudinal flanges pointing in opposite directions from a lower part of the web, the cross-section of the runners therefore having the shape of a T.
  • the tiles are supported by the horizontal longitudinal flanges.
  • Each cross runner comprises tongues projecting away from both longitudinal end parts of the cross runners in a longitudinal direction. The tongues can be inserted through vertical slits provided in the upright web of the main runner.
  • the cross runners are fastened to the main runners by wedge members which are driven through the tongues in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the cross runner after the tongue has been inserted through the vertical slits.
  • US-A-4525973 discloses a construction which to a great extend resembles the construction disclosed by US-A-3023861 , however without the tongues projecting away from both longitudinal end parts of the cross runner in a longitudinal direction but in which the flanges of the cross runners comprise clips which engage each other when two cross runners are inserted in opposing directions perpendicular to the main runner through a vertical slit in the main runner.
  • EP 0 516 330 A2 discloses an island system which is designed to cover only part of a ceiling and which is delimited by a frame to which at least one main runner may be reliably and removably mounted.
  • the frame members now define the boundaries of the grid, the dimensions of the grid may be defined independently of the dimensions of the ceiling to which the system is suspendable.
  • the frame members create an island which can be suspended to partly or fully cover the ceiling to which it is suspendable without needing walls adjacent to the ceiling island system.
  • connection member which is mounted to the runner and which comprises a first connection member provided to engage a corresponding second connection member on the frame member in a resilient connection, permits mounting a runner to the frame member using the resilient properties of the connection members.
  • a resilient connection designates a connection in which the connecting members may flex with respect to each other when applying force. This presents the advantage that no tools are required to engage and to disengage the first and second connection member, making the assembly and disassembly of the ceiling island system easy, fast and reliable.
  • the attachment member of the present invention preferably is made as a separate part, it can be constructed so that it is suitable for use with the conventionally use of runners such as those disclosed in US-A-3023861 , US-A-4525973 , EP-A1-0430271 and WO98/05831 .
  • the ceiling island system is characterised in that the first connection member comprises a first member which is resiliently mounted to the attachment member allowing for an easy and fast engagement of the first connection member in the second connection member, allowing the runner to be reliably mounted to the frame and maintaining the mounting of the attachment member removable.
  • the ceiling island system is characterised in that the first connection member is positioned to slideably engage the corresponding second connection member.
  • the slideable engagement of the first connection member in the corresponding second connection member permits to move one or both of the runner and the frame attached to the runner in relation to each other in a direction along the first upright web of the frame member, without having to disconnect them.
  • the position of the runner in longitudinal direction of the frame member or the position of the frame member in relation to the runner in longitudinal direction of the frame member may for example be modified after the connection has been established and therefore facilitate the assembly and improves the versatility of the grid construction.
  • the first connection member extends in an upward direction of the frame. This way the first connection member can engage the second connection member when inserting the end part of the runner in the frame member making it therefore easy to install.
  • the suspendable ceiling island system is characterised in that the frame member is mainly C-shaped, in that the first longitudinal side of the first upright web of the frame member extends along an upper edge of the first upright web of the frame member and in that the second connection member on the frame member comprises a hemmed edge provided on the first profile flange of the frame member, the hemmed edge comprising a part of the first profile flange which is folded to extend along the first profile flange and towards the second upright web of the at least one runner onto an inner face of the first profile flange facing the longitudinal opening of the C-shaped frame member, the first connection member of the attachment member being received between the first profile flange and the hemmed edge on the frame member.
  • the suspendable ceiling island system is characterised in that the frame member comprises a second profile flange pointing away from a second bottom longitudinal side of the first upright web opposite to the first longitudinal side, the first and second profile flange running mainly parallel, the second profile flange being provided to support the longitudinal flanges of the runner and to co-operate with the attachment member to exert a clamping action to the runner in height direction thereof between the first and second profile flange of the frame member.
  • the C-shape of the frame member allows receiving the runner between the first and second profile flanges which restricts the possible movements of the runner in height direction of the frame member.
  • the friction resulting from the clamping action improves the stability of the grid, reinforces the construction of the grid and restricts a pivoting motion of the runner in the frame member around a longitudinal rotational axis of the runner. Clamping the runner between the first and second profile flanges also reinforces the engagement of the first connection member in the second connection member, thus reducing the risk to unwanted removal of the of the first connection member and the runner from the frame member after engagement with the second connection member to a minimum.
  • the at least one runner preferably comprises a bead running longitudinally along a top part of the second upright web.
  • the attachment member is provided to be mounted to an upper part of the bead. More preferably the attachment member comprises a second and a third resilient member which are provided to exert a clamping action in cross direction of the bead on opposite sides of the bead of the runner to which the attachment member is mounted.
  • the presence of the second and third resilient member guides the attachment member when displacing and/or sliding it over the bead to the required position and makes the attachment member more reliably mountable to the runner without having to use any tools.
  • the invention also relates to an attachment member according to appended claim 18.
  • the preferred embodiment of the suspendable ceiling island system 1 for covering at least part of a ceiling as shown in figure 1a and 1 b comprises a frame 2 which comprises a plurality of frame members 10 and at least one runner 3, 13, 4, the runners forming a grid within the frame for receiving at least one ceiling tile 9.
  • the frame 2 fully encloses the grid which is suitable to be suspendable anywhere with respect to the ceiling and/or upright walls delimiting the ceiling, forming a circumferential frame 2.
  • the frame 2 does not fully enclose the grid
  • the sides of the suspendable ceiling island system 1 not enclosed by the frame 2 can be positioned adjacent to one or more sides of a wall.
  • the dimensions of the ceiling island system 1 depend on the dimensions of the frame 2. As a consequence its dimensions can be chosen independently from the dimensions of the ceiling to which the island ceiling system is suspendable and can be determined according to the desired physical properties of the ceiling island system 1 and the space covered by it related to for example specific heat insulating properties, sound proofing properties, preferred dimensions, etc.
  • the ceiling island system 1 can therefore be mounted on specific locations where certain specific physical properties are requested. By suspending one or more distinct island ceiling systems 1 at specific locations in one room, the desired overall physical properties for the room can be obtained, independently or in addition to the existing ceiling island system 1.
  • the circumferential frame 2 can for example be rectangular, square or triangular or can have any other form and shape depending upon the desired physical properties or depending upon esthetical considerations.
  • the frame members 10 can have any form deemed appropriate by the person skilled in the art, but preferably they are straight.
  • Preferred frame members 10 for constructing the circumferential frame 2 are profiles comprising a first longitudinally extending upright web 26 with a first profile flange 27 which extends in longitudinal direction of the first upright web 26 and which points away from the first upright web 26 from a first longitudinal side 37.
  • the first longitudinal side 37 extends along an upper edge of the first upright web 26.
  • the preferred frame member 10 also comprises a second profile flange 28 which points away from a second longitudinal side 38 of the frame member 10 in the same direction as the first profile flange 27 and preferably extends along a bottom side of the first upright web 26 opposite to the first longitudinal side 37.
  • the first 27 and the second 28 profile flanges preferably run mainly parallel to each other so that the frame member 10 is mainly C-shaped and oblong with a longitudinal opening 25 facing the grid and the interior of the circumferential frame 2.
  • the first 27 and/or second 28 profile flanges preferably extend along the entire length of the frame member 10 but can also extend along part of the frame member 10. In the embodiment where one single profile flange 27 is provided, the first profile flange 27 can extend either along an upper or lower edge of the first upright web 26.
  • the first profile flange 27 and the second profile flange 28 preferably extend perpendicular to the first upright web 26.
  • the circumferential frame 2 may be composed of standard frame members 10 having a height of 40 mm between the first 27 and the second 28 profile flanges and the profile flanges having a width of 24 mm, written as 38 x 24 mm, but other sizes of for example 38 x 15 mm or others may suitably be used as well.
  • the material thickness will usually be adapted taking into account the envisaged circumstances of use such as the dimensions of the frame and the dimensions and weight of the ceiling tiles.
  • Frame members 10 may have the same length as the length of the sides of the island ceiling system 1 or may be shorter or longer.
  • the frame members 10 may be linked to each other in longitudinal direction of the frame members 10 or in a direction which is angled, with respect to the longitudinal direction of the frame members 10.
  • Frame members 10 may for example at a corner run substantially perpendicular or any other angle depending on the shape of the frame 10.
  • the frame members 10 may all lie in one mutual plane but this is however not critical for the invention.

  • the interconnecting pieces 39 preferably are also mainly C-shaped, but however also may be solid. Coupling in longitudinal and cross direction is achieved by using interconnecting pieces 39 which preferably have at least two end parts, wherein a first end part is positioned between an end part of the first 27 and second 28 profile flange of a first frame member 10 and a second end part is positioned between an end part of the first 27 and second 28 profile flanges of a second frame member 10.
  • the dimensions of the first and second end part of the interconnecting piece 39 preferably are such that the first 27 and second 28 profile flanges of the first and second adjacent frame members 10 exert a clamping action onto respectively the first and second end part of the interconnecting piece 39 in height direction thereof, thus fastening the first end part of the interconnecting piece 39 to the first frame member 10 and the second end part of the interconnecting piece 39 to the second frame member 10, therefore joining the two adjacent frame members 10 to each other.
  • the height of the first and/or second end part of the interconnecting piece 39 can also be chosen so that the first 27 and second 28 profile flanges of the respective first and/or second frame member 10 are received in the respective first and/or second end part of the interconnecting piece 39 which exerts a clamping force onto the first 27 and second 28 profile flange of the respective first and/or second frame member 10.
  • the first and second end part are positioned in line with each other.
  • the first and second end part of the interconnecting piece 39 are positioned angled, e.g. perpendicular, with respect to each other.
  • the interconnecting piece 39 and the frame member 10 preferably respectively comprise mutually co-operating interconnecting members which engage each other in a removable way, for example co-operating perforations and protrusions.
  • the protrusions preferably are created by locally increasing the height of the material.
  • the protrusions and/or perforations can have any form or shape deemed appropriate by the person skilled in the art such as rectangular, square, circular, oval, etc.
  • the interconnecting piece 39 preferably can be compressed somewhat in height direction therefore making it easier to push the protrusions out of the perforations when separating the interconnecting piece 39 from the frame members 10.
  • the frame members 10 comprise second connection members 24 for connection to the attachment member 5, 15.
  • the second connection member 24 comprises a hemmed edge 29 which can be provided on the second profile flange 28 but preferably is provided on the first profile flange 27.
  • the hemmed edge 29 preferably comprises a part of the first profile flange 27 which is folded to extend along the first profile flange 27 towards the second upright web 26 onto an inner face of the first profile flange 27 facing the longitudinal opening 25 of the C-shaped frame member.

  • the additional hemmed edge 50 comprises a part of the second profile flange 28 which is folded to extend along the second profile flange 28 towards the second upright web 26 onto an inner face of the second profile flange 28 facing the longitudinal opening 25 of the C-shaped frame member.
  • the additional hemmed edge 50 is folded along a folding line which provides the second profile flange 28 with a smoother and more aesthetic finishing.
  • the frame members 10 can be made of any material deemed appropriate by the person skilled in the art such as for example plastic but preferably are made of metal.
  • the interconnecting piece 39 preferably is made of plastic but any other material deemed appropriate by the person skilled in the art can be used, such as for example metal, wood, etc.

  • a ceiling tile 9 can for example be mounted within the space left between opposite main runners 3, 13 and cross runners 14 connecting the main runners 3, 13. Since the runners 3, 13, 4, 14 are mutually held in their correct position by each other and by the frame members 10 in longitudinal as well as in cross direction, the grid construction and therefore the ceiling island system 1 is reliable and strong.
  • the configuration of the grid can be determined by the person skilled in the art and may be varied depending on the dimensions, form and shape of the circumferential frame 2, the desired physical properties of the ceiling island system 1, the shape and size of the tiles 9, etc.

  • the attachment member 5, 15 may however also be mounted to the runner 3, 13, 4 by sliding the top face 35 over the bead 21, 22 until the back face 34 abuts the upright terminal edge 36, for example when the second and third lip are bent along the horizontal folding line.
  • the top face 35 of the attachment member 5, 15 preferably is positioned adjacent to the upper edge of the second upright web 11, 12 of the main runner 3, 13.
  • the top face 35 preferably is mounted parallel to the first 7, 8 and second 17, 18 flanges of the runner 3, 13, 4 and perpendicular to the second upright web 11.
  • the recess 33 of the attachment member 5, 15 is positioned above the upright terminal edge 36 of the runner 3, 13, 4.
  • the recess 33 also extends over part of the back face 34 over the bead 21, 22.
  • parts projecting in height and in longitudinal direction from the bead 21, 22 or the second upright web 11, 12 of the runner 3, 13, 4 may be accommodated.
  • the projecting parts may for example result from cutting or sawing the runner 3, 13, 4, forming the upright terminal edge 36, to obtain the desired length.
  • the mounting of the attachment member 5, 15 to the runner 3, 13, 4 and therefore the grid construction remains unaffected and the length of the runner 3, 13, 4 may be adapted in situ where the ceiling island 1 is to be suspended.
  • runners 3, 13, 4 with standard dimensions may still be used and their length may be adapted in situ.
  • the recess 33 can have any form deemed appropriate by the person skilled in the art but preferably is somewhat larger than the bead 21, 22.
  • the second 31 and third 32 resilient member are provided to exert a clamping action in cross direction of the bead 21, 22, to opposite sides of the bead 21, 22.
  • the clamping action exerted by the second 31 and third 32 resilient member limits movement of the runner 3, 13, 4 in cross direction of the attachment member 5, 15 and prevents pivoting of the runner 3, 13, 4 in the attachment member 5, 15.
  • the second 31 and third 32 resilient member preferably extend along the height of the bead 21, 22, the clamping action preferably extending in a width direction of the bead 21, 22, such a configuration causing friction and limiting the movement of the runner 3, 13, 4 in the attachment member 5, 15 in height direction of the attachment member 5, 15.
  • the second 31 and third 32 resilient member may however also abut the bottom part of the bead 21, 22, the clamping action preferably extending in a height direction of the bead 21, 22, to cause friction which also limits the movement of the runner 3, 13, 4 in the attachment member 5, 15 in height direction of the attachment member 5, 15.
  • the resiliency of the second and third resilient members 31, 32 allows that the attachment member 5, 15 can be easily mounted to the bead 21, 22 without the use of any tools.
  • the first slit 30 has a width which preferably is somewhat smaller than the width of the bead 21, 22 to which it is mounted causing the clamping action and the amount of friction needed to reliably mount the attachment member 5, 15 to the bead 21, 22.
  • the attachment member 5, 15 preferably does not substantially extend beyond the end part 6 in length direction of the runner 3, 13, 4 which is delimited by the upright terminal edge 36. Instead the back face 34, preferably the upper part 46 of the back face 34, abuts the upright terminal edge 36 of the runner 3, 13, 4 and therefore limits the movement of the runner 3, 13, 4 in the attachment member 5, 15.
  • the first 47 and second 48 lower part of the back face 34 extend along the second upright web 11, 12 of the runner 3, 13, 4.
  • the second slit 40 receives the upright terminal edge 36, so the width of the second slit 40 has to be equal to or larger than the width of the second upright web 11, 12.
  • Receiving the upright terminal edge 36 into the second slit 40 prevents the runner 3, 13, 4 from moving in the cross direction of the back face 34 of the attachment member 5, 15.
  • the second slit 40 preferably is just large enough to allow receiving the upright terminal edge 36. Since the first 47 and second 48 lower parts of the back face 34 are bent towards the front face 42 and extend below the bead 21, 22. The movement of the runner 3, 13, 4 in the attachment member 5, 15 is therefore limited in an upward direction.
  • an attachment member 5 is mounted to both opposing end parts 6 of the main runner 3, 13.
  • the cross runners 4 connected to the frame member 10 will usually comprise no or only one attachment member 15 which is mounted to the end part 6 connected to the frame member 10.
  • Mounting of the main runners 3, 13 within the circumferential frame 2 is achieved in that opposite end parts 6 of the main runners 3, 13 with attachment member 5, 15 are received within the C-shaped frame members 10 so that the top face 35 is adjacent to the first profile flange 27.
  • Mounting of the cross runners 4 within the circumferential frame 2 is achieved in that the end part 6 comprising the attachment member 15 is received within the C-shaped frame members 10 so that the top face 35 is adjacent to the first profile flange 27.
  • the first member When inserting the runners 3, 13, 4 into the frame member 10, preferably the first member clips behind the hemmed edge 29 of the frame member 10. The first member is then received between the first profile flange 27 and the hemmed edge 29. The back face 34 of the attachment member 5, 15 preferably abuts the first upright web 26. Since the hemmed edge 29 preferably runs along the entire length of the frame member 10, the first member can be moved along the hemmed edge 29 while the runner 3, 13, 4 remains inserted into the frame member 10. This allows positioning of the runner 3, 13, 4 in the frame member 10 after the runner 3, 13, 4 has been inserted into the frame member 10 without having to remove it.
  • the second longitudinal flange 17, 18 together with the first longitudinal flange 7, 8 provides the runner 3, 13, 4 with a larger base which rests on the second profile flange 28 as compared to a single profile flange 7, 8 which provides the runner 3, 13, 4 with additional stability, reinforces the grid and prevents a first pivoting motion of the runner 3, 13, 4 in the frame member 10 around a longitudinal axis of the runner 3, 13, 4 along the second upright web 11, 12.
  • the first pivoting motion is prevented by the first 7, 8 and second 17, 18 longitudinal flange used in combination with the C-shaped frame member 10 and by the top face 35 of the attachment member 5, 15, having a certain width in cross direction of the runner 3, 13, 4 since the clamping action resulting from the first 27 and second 28 profile flanges of the C-shaped frame member 10 presses upon the top part 35 of the attachment member 5, 15 and/or on the first 7, 8 and the second 17, 18 longitudinal flange the attachment member 5, 15 and/or the longitudinal flanges 7, 17, 8, 18 by their width preventing the runner 3, 13, 4 from performing the first pivoting motion.
  • the back face 34 having a certain width and surface and the width of the first 7, 8 and second 17, 18 longitudinal flanges prevent the runner 3, 13, 4 from performing a second pivoting motion around an upright axis perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the runner 3, 13, 4 since the longitudinal flanges 7, 8, 17, 18 and the back face 34 abut the first upright web 26 of the frame member 10.
  • the runner 3, 13 is pivoted up or downward along a horizontal axis of the runner 3, 13, 4.
  • the longitudinal flanges 7, 8, 17, 18 then push onto the first and second profile flange 28 until the first member snaps out of the hemmed edge 29 and the runner 3, 13, 4 can be removed from the frame member 10.
  • the first 27 and/or second 28 profile flanges can be pushed outwards to allow the first member to more easily snap out of the hemmed edge 29.
  • the use of the runners 3, 13, 4, 14 and the frame members 10 renders the ceiling island system 1 modular. Therefore, the runners 3, 13, 4, 14 and frame members 10 can be used for assembling a wide range of ceiling island systems 1 having different forms, shapes and dimensions.
  • the ceiling island system 1 can therefore be installed on a wide variety of different locations.
  • the modularity of the ceiling island system 1 also makes it easy to adapt or repair existing island ceiling constructions. The entire assembling of the above-described ceiling island 1 can be done without requiring the use of any tools and thus without screws. Likewise, the structure can be disassembled without the use of tools.
  • the at least one runner 3, 13, 4, 14 and/or frame member 10 preferably comprise connection means 19 for establishing a connection with at least one suspension hanger 20 for suspending the ceiling island system 1.
  • connection means 19 preferably comprise openings in the runners 3, 13, 4, 14 and/or frame members 10, since the means for suspending the island ceiling system 1 are not critical to the invention and other means known to the person skilled in the art can be employed.
  • the suspension hanger 20 preferably comprises two metal hooks which are rigidly interconnected by a metal interconnecting piece.
  • the interconnecting piece clamps the two hooks into a fixed position with respect to each other using frictional forces.
  • the suspension hanger 20 is not critical to the invention and other suspension means deemed appropriate by the person skilled in the art may be employed such as cable, rope, chains, etc.
