Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a suspended ceiling system comprising at least one ceiling tile, at least one fixing member and at least one suspension member.
  • the invention also relates to a method for suspending such a ceiling system.
  • Suspended ceilings can be installed in many different types of buildings for various reasons, for example to absorb sound, to reflect light, to lower the ceiling height or to conceal installations such as cable arrangements, ventilation equipment, lighting installations and other devices arranged in the space between the suspended ceiling and the ceiling structure of a building.
  • an overall suspended ceiling in the form of a grid and a plurality of ceiling tiles can not be used due to various reasons.
  • Examples are premises where temperature is regulated via the joists (TABS, Thermal Activated Building Systems) or where there are large areas of glass.
  • TABS Thermal Activated Building Systems
  • free-hanging units of ceiling tiles forming ceiling islands are one way of creating acceptable acoustic environments.
  • the ceiling tiles may have sound-absorbing and/or sound-insulation properties.
  • Free-hanging units can also be installed in large, noisy environments such as open-plan areas, restaurants, shopping centres etc., close to working areas or other locations where acoustical treatment is needed in order to achieve suitable conditions for communication, concentration or recovery.
  • Free-hanging units can also be used as a complement to an overall suspended ceiling in order to improve the acoustic environment with a reduction of the sound level and a diminishing of sound as distance increases.
  • Free-hanging units can be arranged in many different ways, for instance creating separate ceiling islands or ceiling islands formed of a plurality of free-hanging units arranged at different levels, overlapping each other.
  • Free-hanging units may be suspended to the ceiling structure of the building in different ways.
  • One way of suspending a ceiling island is to use a grid or profiles supporting the ceiling tiles, wherein suspension members are connected to the grid or profiles.
  • Another solution is to suspend the ceiling tiles individually by fastening a suspension member to each ceiling tile.
  • the top ceiling tile have to be provided with a duct for each suspension member which is suspending the lower ceiling tiles to the ceiling structure. Consequently, a number of suspension members have to extend through the top ceiling tile.
  • each ceiling tile is suspended by a number of suspension members, for example at least three suspension members. Thereby, if three ceiling tiles are arranged above each other, and each ceiling tile is suspended by four suspension members, eight suspension members are extending through the top ceiling tile, and the free-hanging unit is arranged to the ceiling structure at twelve suspension points, four for each ceiling tile.
  • a further object is to reduce the number of suspension members required to suspend ceiling tiles or other elements arranged below each other.
  • the first surface may be a front surface of the ceiling tile.
  • the second surface may be a rear surface of the ceiling tile.
  • the suspended ceiling system may comprise more than one ceiling tile and other elements.
  • the ceiling tiles and elements may be arranged at the same level or beneath each other. If arranged in different levels, the ceiling tiles and elements may be arranged both concentrically or displaced in relation to each other. More than one fixing member and thereby more than one suspension member may be used to suspend an element or ceiling tile arranged below the top ceiling tile. Further, more than one fixing member may be used to suspend the top ceiling tile to the ceiling structure.
  • An advantage of the invention is that the system presents a more simple solution for suspending a ceiling system, since a single fixing member is used to both to suspend the ceiling tile to the ceiling structure and to suspend any element or elements arranged below the ceiling tile.
  • Another advantage is that the number of suspension members and fixing members are reduced.
  • a separate suspension member suspends individually the ceiling tile, or any elements arranged below the ceiling tile, to the ceiling structure, thus resulting in that a number of suspension members extends from the ceiling structure through the top ceiling tile to the elements arranged below the top ceiling tile.
  • a number of suspension members extends from the ceiling structure through the top ceiling tile to the elements arranged below the top ceiling tile.
  • the fixing member both suspends the ceiling tile to the ceiling structure and suspends any element arranged below the ceiling tile.
  • suspension member may be used to suspend all ceiling tiles or elements.
  • Another advantage of the invention is that the number of suspension points in the ceiling structure of the building is reduced. Since the ceiling tile and any elements arranged below the ceiling tile are suspended to the same suspension points, fewer suspension points are required compared to a conventional arrangement. Thereby, the time-consuming task of fixing suspension points to the ceiling structure of the building is reduced.
  • the visual appearance of a suspended ceiling system according to the invention is improved, since the suspension of the ceiling system is less noticeable. Due the reduced number of required suspension members, a floating appearance of the suspended ceiling system may be obtained.
  • Another advantage is that the resistance against extraction of the fixing member due to the weight of ceiling system is improved compared to prior art solutions.
  • a suspended ceiling system allows a faster and easier mounting due to the reduced number of fixing members and suspension members required and due to that the system is suspended to the same suspension points in the ceiling structure.
  • Said at least one fixing member may in accordance with the system of claims 1 or 3 extend only partly between the second and first surfaces such that said at least one fixing member is not visible at the first surface.
  • the first surface being a front surface of the ceiling tile
  • the visual appearance of the suspended ceiling island is further improved. Only the suspension member, for instance a wire, is visible from beneath. The visual impact of the suspension member is reduced and the impression of a floating arrangement of the suspended ceiling system is obtained.
  • Said at least one fixing member is according to claim 1 provided with threads and is adapted to be threaded into said ceiling tile from the second surface. By threading the fixing member from the second surface, the fixing member is not visible from the first surface. By using a threaded fixing member, the resistance against extraction of the fixing member is improved.
  • a pitch of said at least one fixing member in the system according to claim 1 may be at least 6 mm.
  • a pitch of at least 6 mm is particularly favourable in order to improve resistance against extraction of the fixing member out of the ceiling tile, especially when suspending ceiling tiles made of glass wool.
  • Said at least one suspension member may be adapted to extend from said at least one fixing member and through the first surface of said at least one ceiling tile in a duct arranged in said at least one ceiling tile.
  • the duct is arranged in the ceiling tile to provide guidance for the suspension member.
  • Said at least one fixing member in the system according to claim 2 comprises a flange adapted to abut the first surface of said at least one ceiling tile.
  • the flange is adapted to form a support surface supporting the ceiling tile.
  • Said at least one suspension member may be adapted to suspend at least one element below said at least one ceiling tile.
  • the element may be another ceiling tile, a sign, a lightning appliance etc.
  • the suspension member may be adapted to support a plurality of elements arranged below each other.
  • the elements may be arranged concentrically or be offset in relation to each other.
  • the suspended ceiling system in the system according to claim 2 comprises a connecting member adapted to connect the suspension member suspending said at least one fixing member to said at least one fixing member.
  • the connecting member may be adapted to fix the position of the suspension member relative the fixing member.
  • the connecting member may also be used to adjust the length of the suspension member.
  • Said at least one ceiling tile is made of compressed mineral fibres, preferably mineral wool, and most preferably glass wool. Due to the properties of the mineral fibres, it especially difficult to find a suitable fixing member providing sufficient resistance against extraction of the fixing member. By using the fixing member of the inventive system, these difficulties are overcome.
  • a method for suspending a ceiling system comprising at least one ceiling tile is provided according to claims 14, 15 and 16.
  • the method according to the second aspect of the present invention incorporates all the advantages of the suspended ceiling system, which previously has been discussed. Thereby, the previous discussion is applicable also for the inventive methods.

  • the ceiling tiles 2 are free-hanging, i.e. they are suspended individually to the ceiling structure and not supported by a grid of profiles.
  • the ceiling tiles 2 are arranged above each other in the vertical direction.
  • the ceiling tiles 2 are concentrically arranged in fig. 1 .
  • the ceiling tiles 2 have sound-absorbing and/or sound insulating properties.

  • the first surface 2a is adapted to be facing a person being in the room, i.e. be facing the interior of a room.
  • the first surface 2a is a front surface and the second surface 2b is a rear surface.
  • the first surface 2a is a horizontal surface of the ceiling tile 2, or a surface having at least a component extending in a horizontal direction.
  • the second surface 2b is also a horizontal surface of the ceiling tile 2, or a surface having at least a component extending in a horizontal direction.
  • the first surface 2a and or the second surface 2b may be provided with a surface layer. Said at least one side surface may also be provided with a surface layer.

  • each suspension member 3 is extending through the ceiling tiles 2 to the lowermost ceiling tile and suspends all ceiling tiles 2 to the ceiling structure.
  • a first suspension member 3a is suspending the top ceiling tile 2 to the ceiling structure and a second suspension member 3b is suspending a lower ceiling tile 2 to the top ceiling tile 2.
  • both the first and second suspension members 3a, 3b are attached to the fixing member 10, they extend one after the other in the same direction. Thereby, the visual appearance is similar as if one suspension member extends through all ceiling tiles 2.
