Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a supporting structure and more specifically to a supporting structure for supporting equipment in a suspended ceiling.
  • the invention also relates to a suspended ceiling system comprising such a supporting structure.
  • a suspended ceiling typically comprises a plurality of ceiling tiles which are supported by grid of profiles.
  • the profiles are profiles with an inverted T-shape.
  • the grid of profiles is preferably mounted in a main ceiling of a room or an accommodation in which the suspended ceiling is to be installed.
  • the suspended ceiling often supports equipment of different kinds.
  • the equipment may be constituted by lighting arrangements, ventilation means, fire detectors, signs etc.
  • a substantial share of the ceiling tiles in a suspended ceiling may comprise some type of equipment, in some cases as much as 50% or even more.
  • suspended ceilings have ceiling tiles made of rigid materials, such as wood, gypsum or metal, which are rigid enough to support the equipment.
  • Other suspended ceilings comprises ceiling tiles made of materials such as mineral wool not having the same load carrying capacity.
  • a load distributing plate is placed on top of the ceiling tile, and the equipment is mounted on or suspended in the load distributing plate.
  • a mounting member may be provided extending between two adjacent profiles of the supporting structure, above the ceiling tile.
  • a mounting member of this type is known from SE428597 or US8091721 , both disclosing a suspended ceiling having ceiling tiles supported by a support structure comprising profiles with an inverted T-shape and thus having an upstanding web and horizontal flanges.
  • Each reference discloses an elongated mounting member extending between two adjacent profiles above a ceiling tile.
  • the mounting member has a pair of support legs arranged at each end. The pairs of legs straddle the web of the respective profile and at least one leg of each pair rests upon the horizontal flanges.
  • the weight of an object supported by or suspended in such a mounting member, as well as the weight of the mounting member itself will be transferred to the support structure via the pairs of support legs, and the weight will consequently not be applied directly onto the ceiling tile.
  • a supporting structure for supporting equipment in a suspended ceiling with ceiling tiles supported by profiles having an upstanding web and a horizontal flange, said supporting structure comprising, an elongated member having a support flange extending between a first end and a second end, at least one of said first and second end being provided with a connecting member having a first engagement portion and a second engagement portion.
  • Said first engagement portion is arranged at a first distance from said support flange on a first side thereof and the second engagement portion is arranged at a second distance from said support flange on a second side thereof.
  • Said first and second engagement portions are arranged for engagement with said profiles such that vertical displacement of said supporting structure is restricted.
  • an improved supporting structure for supporting equipment in a suspended ceiling is provided.
  • the connecting member provided at one or both ends of the elongated member is arranged for engagement with one of the profiles supporting the ceiling tiles.
  • a load applied to the supporting structure may be transferred directly to said profile without burden the ceiling tile, and thus the risk of displacement of said ceiling tile is eliminated or at least substantially reduced.
  • the engagement is arranged such that vertical displacement of the supporting structure is restricted, installation of the equipment is facilitated since pressure may be applied to the supporting structure during the installation by a tool, such as a screw driver.
  • the elongated member may be arranged such that it extends across the ceiling tile just above the top surface thereof.
  • the elongated member will act as stop preventing the ceiling tile to be lifted in connection with installation of the equipment.
  • the first engagement portion of said at least connecting member is adapted for engagement with said upstanding web; and the second engagement portion of said at least one connecting member is adapted for engagement with said horizontal flange.
  • the engagement portion engaging the web will hereby act to restrict vertical displacement in upward direction, and the engagement portion engaging the horizontal flange will act to transfer the load from the equipment to the profile.
  • both of said first and second end of the elongated member is provided with a connecting member. Herby it will be possible to fixedly secure the supporting structure to the profiles of the suspended ceiling system.
  • each connecting member may be removably attached to said elongated member.
  • each connecting member may be removably attached to said elongated member.
  • the elongated member may be a profile having an inverted T-shape.
  • the profiles supporting the ceiling tiles are T-profiles, it is particularly useful to use a profile of the same type for said elongated member.
  • the support flange of said elongated member is provided with a capping forming a slot between said capping and said support flange.
  • Each connecting member is in this case provided with a protrusion being insertable in said slot for attaching said connecting member to said elongated member. In this way, the connection member may be removalby attached to the elongated member.
  • the protrusion may be arranged at said first distance from said first engagement portion and arranged at said second distance from said second engagement portion. If the first distance is different from said second distance, it will be possible to adapt the supporting structure for two different types of ceiling tiles simply by orienting the first engagement portion either up or down.

  • the at least one horizontal flange of each profile may form an elongated corner section with said upstanding web and each connecting member may engage the associated profile such that said second engagement portion engages said at least one horizontal flange by means of engagement with said corner section.
  • the upstanding web of each profile may comprise a projection and each connecting member may engage the associated profile such that said first engagement portion engages said upstanding web by means of engagement with said projection.
  • the projection may be in the form of a bulb.

As shown in the embodiment, the first distance D1 may be different from the second distance D2.
  • each connecting member 6 is made from a sheet of metal.
  • the engagement portions 10, 12 formed by said legs 11, 13 is constituted by obliquely bent side edge portions of the sheet of metal, and the protrusion 14 is in the form of a cut out and outwardly bent lug 15.
  • Each connecting member 6 is thus attached to the associated end 4, 5 of the elongated member 2 by insertion of the protrusion 14 in form of said lug 15 into the slot 8 defined between the capping 8 and the horizontal flanges 7.
  • the connecting member 6 will hereby be attached to the elongated member 2 by means of a frictional joint.

  • the connecting member 6 may be removably attached to the elongated member 2 with the first leg 11 oriented either up or down.
  • the connecting member 6 is attached to the elongated member 2 wit the first leg 11 pointing up, and consequently, the support flange 3 will be arranged at said second distance D2 from the lower one of the engagement portions, i.e. the second engagement portion 12 which in this case is formed by the second leg 13.
  • the second engagement portion 12 By attaching the connecting member 6 with said first leg 11 pointing down, the second engagement portion 12 would be formed by said first leg and consequently, the support flange 3 would in this case be arranged at said first distance D1 from said lower, second engagement portion 10 (not shown).
  • the connecting member 6 is attached to a first end 4 of the elongated member 2 by inserting the protrusion 14 into the slot 9 of the elongated member 2.
