Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a wall or ceiling covering system as well as a method for installing such a wall or ceiling covering system.
  • plate elements may for example be made from gypsum where the gypsum material is sandwiched between two layers of paper. Afterwards the gypsum plates are screwed onto a timber or thin metal skeleton in order to create a wall or ceiling. Likewise, plate elements made from compressed wood, typically with veneer on the visible surface are also often used as particularly panelling and cladding for ceilings etc.
  • wall or ceiling plate elements may be manufactured from a cement-bonded wood wool material.
  • cement-bonded wood wool materials Common for all these types of wall or ceiling plate materials is that they are usually presented with a substantially even surface.
  • the surface is typically provided with a number of apertures/spaces which have some acoustic advantages which the normal plaster boards and compressed wood plates do not exhibit.
  • the surface of the plate element is worked for example by a CNC machine in order to provide the desired texture or surface pattern.
  • a number of parallel grooves are provided in the surface of the ceiling plate element.
  • a number of profiles having a tongue provided with a cross-section corresponding to the cross-section of the groove are then afterwards fitted into the groove such that the plate-like element in this manner is provided with a number of profiles.
  • the plate elements must be pre-manufactured to have the grooves suitable to receive the profiles and furthermore the distance between the profiles is pre-determined during the manufacturing process of the plate-like element.
  • the profiles must be provided with a tongue corresponding to the groove and particularly when the plate element is made from for example plasterboard or cement bonded wood wool material the groove may be damaged during installation of the tongue of the profile as it is necessary to "wriggle" the tongue into the groove in order to ensure that the profile is firmly attached to the plate element via the groove and tongue connection.
  • the groove and tongue shall be dimensioned such that a very tight and narrow fit is provided in order for the profile to come into very close contact with the surface of the plate element in order not to create undesirable crevices and openings.
  • a wall or ceiling covering system comprising a plate element, said plate element having a front surface, a rear surface, and a material thickness between said front and rear surfaces where the plate perimeter is delimited by edges, one or more attachment strips and a plurality of profiles, where:
  • attachment strip must be dimensioned to the selected plate element, but typically in the building industry there is widespread use of standard thickness plate elements and as such the attachment strips shall only be carried in a very limited number of different dimensions in order to be able to be applied to a substantial part of the plate elements used for these purposes.
  • these grooves may very simply be made during the manufacturing of the profiles.
  • the profiles will need to be machined anyway in order to provide the desired surface structures and during this machining cutting of a suitable groove may be carried out in an industrial manner without large extra effort.
  • the present invention provides a very advantageous system which is easy to install, easy to adapt to various wall or ceiling covering systems and at the same time may provide the desired aesthetic effects with standard components and without a risk of damaging the standard components during installation of the system.
  • the attachment strip is made from spring steel where the attachment strip in a cross-section has a U- or C-shape comprising two substantially parallel legs connected in one end by a connection piece, such that the plate thickness may be accommodated between the parallel legs where the attachment fork is part of one of the legs and extends away from said legs.
  • the provision of the attachment strip in spring steel provides the possibility of designing the attachment fork congruently to the groove such that as the groove in the profile is passed over the attachment fork the attachment fork due to the fact that it is made from spring steel will slightly deform when being introduced into the groove, but afterwards it will expand and thereby secure the profile in a firm fit against the attachment fork and against the surface of the plate element.
  • an easy-to-install system is provided where it is ensured that the profiles are retained in a firm relationship to the attachment strip and thereby to the plate element, and by dimensioning the attachment fork correctly with respect to the groove it is also ensured that the attachment surface of the profile is flush with the surface of the plate element.
  • attachment strips such that it has a C- or U-shaped cross-section it is possible to slide the attachment strip over an edge of the plate element such that the attachment strip will clip onto the edge of the plate element and thereby be securely retained on the plate element.
  • the attachment strips have two orthogonal flanges, where on a first flange the attachment fork extends from said flange, and on the second flange one or more spikes are arranged perpendicular to said second flange, either only on one side or on both sides of said second flange.
  • the spike when the attachment strip is mounted on the plate element the spike will be embedded in the plate material and if a second spike is provided in the opposite direction this spike will be embedded in an adjacent plate element thereby retaining the attachment strip in firm engagement with the plate elements making out the wall or ceiling system.
  • the groove in the attachment surface of the profile has a mushroom cross section, wherein the smaller opening is connected to the attachment surface, and where the attachment fork in a cross-section has two arms extending from a connection bridge, which bridge in use is in contact with the plate element, and where the arms from the bridge section has first straight parallel sections arranged at a mutual distance corresponding to the smaller opening, and where between the straight sections and the distal ends of the arms are provided bulging sections, where the bulging sections bulge away from each other, and where the bulging sections together have a larger dimension parallel to the surface of the plate than the largest dimension of the mushroom cross section in the profile parallel to the plate, when said profile is arranged on the plate.
  • the mushroom cross section of the groove ensures that as the attachment fork is passed through the narrow section of the mushroom the attachment fork is somewhat compressed whereas as the profile is positioned in its correct position in contact with the plate element the wider section of the mushroom cross section allows the attachment fork to expand thereby retaining the profile in contact with the surface of the plate element.
  • connection member which connection member has a cross-sectional shape corresponding to the cross-sectional shape of the groove, such that when inserting the connection member in two facing ends of two profiles, the connection member will align said two profiles.
  • connection member ensures that when assembling the profiles in a longitudinal direction the continuity and linearity of the profiles are ensured such that the assembly of profiles end to end is less visible and does not provide an aesthetically unpleasing offset between adjacent profiles.
  • the attachment fork in use extends on both sides of the edge of the plate onto which it is mounted.
  • the profiles are made from any or a combination of the following materials: wood, plastics, glass-fibre reinforced composite, metal, in particular aluminum, stainless steel, copper, or zinc.
  • the profiles may be made from any suitable material, but as the profiles mainly serve as decoration decorative materials are especially preferred.
  • the wood is selected from oak, teak, mahogany, beech, birch, ash and optionally provided with a surface finish selected amongst varnish, impregnation, whitewash, paint or lacquer.
  • the present system is suitable to use with substantially any type of plate element which is suitable to be used as a wall or ceiling cladding element, but particularly plate elements made from any of the following materials or a combination of these materials:
  • the attachment strip has a plurality of attachment forks arranged with a predetermined mutual distance, such that in use it is possible to arrange a plurality of profiles in parallel on the surface of the plate member where each profile is attached to a separate fork on the same attachment strip.
  • At least the front surface is provided with a cover material different front the material from which the plate element is manufactured, where said cover material may be a cloth, textile, membrane, foil, plate, glass plate, surface coating, netting or the like.
  • cover material may be a cloth, textile, membrane, foil, plate, glass plate, surface coating, netting or the like.
  • the invention is also directed to a method for installing a wall or ceiling system using the wall or ceiling covering system as described above.
  • the same advantages will be achieved with the method, but additionally the method illustrates how versatile and easy it is to install the wall or ceiling system according to the present invention.
  • FIG 1 is illustrated an assembled wall or ceiling covering system according to the present invention where the system comprises a plate element 1 where the plate element has a front surface 10, a rear surface 11 and a material thickness between said front and rear surfaces 10, 11.
  • the perimeter of the plate element 1 is delimited by edges 12, 13.
  • a plurality of profiles 20, 21, 22, 23 are arranged substantially parallel on the front surface 10 of the plate element 1.
  • the profiles 20, 21, 22, 23 will be substantially identical with respect to dimensions, i.e. have the same cross section.
  • the profiles 20, 21, 22, 23 are attached to the front surface 10 of the plate element 1 by means of an attachment strip 30.
  • FIG 2 an end section of a profile 20 is illustrated where it is evident that the profile has an attachment surface 25 in which attachment surface a groove 35 is provided.
  • the groove 35 has a mushroom shape such that the opening 36 towards the attachment surface 25 has a smaller cross sectional dimension than the wider section of the mushroom shaped groove 35.
  • the attachment strip 30 is illustrated in more detail with reference to figure 3A and 3B where figure 3A illustrates a symmetric view of one embodiment of the attachment strip comprising a plurality of attachment forks whereas figure 3B illustrates a side view of an attachment strip according to the present invention.
  • the attachment strip 30 has fastening means suitable to attach the attachment strips to a plate element 1.
  • the attachment means are provided by bending the attachment strip such that attachment fork 31 and a flange 32 provide a space 33 corresponding to the plate thickness. Consequently, by inserting a plate such that the edge 12 of the plate comes against a connection piece 34 the bottom of an attachment fork 31 and the flange 32 will be positioned on either side of a plate element 1 thereby firmly holding the attachment strip relative to the plate element 1.
  • FIG 3B a side-view of an attachment strip as discussed in figure 3A is illustrated.
  • the distance 33 is provided between the attachment fork 31 and the flange 32. Consequently, by sliding the attachment strip onto the end of the plate 1 the attachment fork 31 will be projecting from the front surface of the plate whereas the flange 32 will be positioned on the rear side of the plate element 1.
  • a profile 20 is mounted on a front surface 10 of a plate element 1 by means of an attachment strip 30.
  • the attachment fork 31 is as illustrated with reference to figure 3A shaped such it has a shape congruent to the mushroom cross section 35 of the groove provided in the profile 20. Consequently, by forcing the profile 20 down over the attachment fork 31 the attachment fork will slightly deform during passage of the entrance 36 of the groove 35 and the profile 20, but will expand into the larger cavity 35 of the mushroom shaped cross section thereby firmly attaching the profile 20 to the surface 10 of the plate element 1.
  • the attachment surface 25 of the profile 20 will be in close contact with the surface 10 of the plate element 1. In this manner an invisible attachment is provided between the profile 20 and the blade element 1.
  • FIG 5 is illustrated an alternative embodiment of the attachment strip 30' according to the present invention.
  • the attachment fork 31 still projects from a flange 38 suitable to be arranged flush with the front surface 10 of a plate element 1.
  • a second flange 39 substantially orthogonal to the first flange 38 is provided and intended to be inserted between edges 12, 12' between adjacent plate elements 1, 1'.
  • the flange 39 is provided with spikes 40, 41 which spikes when the plates 1, 1' are forced together edge against edge 12, 12' whereby the spikes 41, 41 will be embedded in the material of the plates 1, 1' thereby effectively fixating the attachment strip 30' to the front surface 10 of the plate elements.
  • connection member 44 has a cross section corresponding to the cross section of the groove 35 such that by inserting the connection member 44 in the groove 35 of the two lengths of profile 20, 20' will be fully aligned thereby avoiding any aesthetically unpleasing offset of the profiles.
