Description

Grid ceilings and related extrusions that increase gravity resistance and prevent blind panels from falling

The novel relates to a grid ceiling, in particular to a grid ceiling and related pressing parts which can increase the resistance to gravity and prevent the blind panel from falling.

In many places such as pharmaceutical factories, electronics factories, fabs, panel photovoltaic power plants, food factories, chemical plants, indoor playgrounds, hospitals, etc., grid ceilings are often used to build ceiling partitions in the ceiling compartments. Various types of ventilation lines, wires, signal lines, or fire safety facilities are provided. In the event that all types of pipelines, equipment, construction workers, or maintenance personnel in the ceiling compartment fall into the grid ceiling due to natural disasters such as earthquakes, typhoons, etc., or accidental manipulation, it is likely to cause grid ceilings.
