Definitions
- This invention relates to suspended or drop ceilings. More particularly it relates to the structural grid of a suspended ceiling system that holds ceiling panels in place and to methods for installing and removing such ceiling panels.
- Suspended ceilings are employed today in many structures because they provide an aesthetic presentation while enabling the routing of hardware such as conduits, electrical wiring, etc, in the gap between the suspended ceiling panels and the structural ceiling of the building itself.
- This gap also provides a convenient “headspace” whereby ceiling panels may be inserted through openings in a ceiling support grid system and manipulated into an orientation whereby the panels may be lowered onto supporting flanges within the grid system that provide shelves or ledges onto which the edges of the ceiling panels may rest.
- the support grid for a suspended ceiling relies on the use of longitudinally extending strips or “runners” that are generally of an inverted “T”-shape in cross-section, having outwardly protruding lateral flanges which provide the ledges upon which the ceiling panels rest.
- runners longitudinally extending strips or “runners” that are generally of an inverted “T”-shape in cross-section, having outwardly protruding lateral flanges which provide the ledges upon which the ceiling panels rest.
- wires or other connectors descend from the ceiling proper, through the headspace, to connect with the ceiling runners.
- the procedure for installing or removing a ceiling panel is to lift the ceiling panel clear of the grid support structure, turn it somewhat in the headspace, and then maneuver it down through the opening within the grid structure.
- the headspace required for lifting and maneuvering a ceiling panel in order to install or remove it is at least several inches and may, in some cases, take-up considerably more space.
- a supporting framework for a suspended ceiling is provided based on a plurality of resilient clamps which are fastened in place beneath a structural ceiling. This may include the installation of clamps to the lower edges of joists or to strapping or other components of the structural ceiling. These clamps have a baseplate and resiliently expandable sides terminating at a pair of lips that define a nip. Within the clamps is an internal receiving space that is preferably open at both ends. The clamps may be intermittently disposed with their receiving spaces aligned, or may be in the form of continuous clamping bars.
- a supporting grid for ceiling panels is provided through the use of longitudinal ceiling runners which are generally of an inverted “T” shaped in cross-section, having a pair of laterally extending support flanges that provide ledge surfaces for carrying ceiling panels. These ledges may underlie the ceiling panels or fit into slots on the edges of the ceiling panels in the known manner.
- Runners according to the invention, also have an upwardly directed leg having a web portion and an enlarged, peripheral, clamp-engaging edge that is remote from the lateral flanges. In use, the clamp engaging edge of a runner is pressed through the lips of a clamp to penetrate into the internal receiving space of the clamp. A runner is held in place by the clamp through the action of the lips grasping the web portion of the runner and/or the sides of the clamp grasping the surfaces on the peripheral edge of the clamp-engaging leg.
- the runner is installed by passing the clamp-penetrating peripheral edge through the yielding nip of the clamp to permit the clamp to grasp the runner and hold it in place.
- the sidewalls of the clamp spread resiliently to permit such insertion by the application of modest manual force.
- the lips on the clamp apply a sufficient retention force on the runner to resist the retraction of the clamp engaging end of the runner under forces of a magnitude that would normally arise from the supporting of ceiling panels.
- the peripheral edge of the clamp engaging leg may be enlarged and in contact with the sides of the clamp.
- the sides of the clamps may be angled as they approach the nip so as to tend to intersect at a greater angle than the sides remote from the nip.
- the enlarged, peripheral edge of the clamp-engaging leg of the runner is preferably pointed and tapered with an entry taper that provides an easy entry and passage of such edge through the lips of the nip.
- the enlargement may or may not be provided with a peripheral taper.
- the flange side of the enlarged peripheral edge is formed with a niche that gives the edge an arrow-head shape in cross-section.
- the height of the web from the lateral flanges to the enlarged edge allows the enlarged edge to pass into the internal receiving space of the clamp until the enlarged edge does not tend to spread the sides of the clamp. At this position the lips grasp the web.
- the runner may also be engaged by the clamp along its web with a range of penetrations of the engaging leg into the clamp by providing a web of extended depth. This “free play”, if present, conveniently permits runner alignment to be adjusted to accommodate an uneven structural ceiling surface and provide a drop ceiling surface which is more nearly planar.
- the clamps may be fastened to the structural ceiling through washers by which they may be adjusted into alignment.
- the engaging edge of the runner is of a shape which permits the runner to maintain a bistable orientation with respect to the clamp when the clamp is engaged with the runner.
- the engagement leg of the runner In one orientation the engagement leg of the runner is aligned for direct entry into the interior space of the clamp. In this configuration the leg or web is generally perpendicular to the surface of the structural ceiling with the lateral flanges in a horizontal plane. Generally, in this orientation, either the enlarged edge on the runner is grasped by the sides on the clamp, or the web is grasped by the lips.
- the engagement leg of the runner is canted laterally, with the leg or web obliquely oriented with respect to its normal entry into the interior receiving space of the clamp.
- the lateral flanges of one or a pair of runners intended for the support of a specific ceiling panel may be forced to one side or spread apart to receive the ceiling panel.
- the parallel, opposed, runners are canted in opposite directions.
- only one runner need be canted with an edge of the panel first being inserted into the slot provided by the uncanted runner.
- the degree of cant, and the length of the engagement leg e.g. the depth of its web, is sufficient to provide a gap through which the ceiling panel may be manipulated without the necessity for the ceiling panel to penetrate into the headspace that is normally required to exist between a suspended ceiling and a structural ceiling.
- the orientation of the supporting runners may be adjusted to the vertical, aligned position. In this orientation, the ceiling panel will be contained laterally and supported by the ledge surfaces of the lateral flanges on the respective runners.
- a bistable action may be achieved by providing the peripheral end of the engagement leg of the runner with a shape that creates resistance to the rotation of the runner from the clamp when the runner is in its canted orientation.
- This may be achieved in one variant by providing the peripheral end with a shape that is approximate to a rhombic in cross-section.
- the opposed sides of this rhombic cross-section may be a so nearly parallel to the sides of the clamp as to permit the clamp to engage and stably maintain the runner in the canted orientation.
- the peripheral edge of the runner is substantially arrow-head in cross-section whereby one of the lips of the clamp may engage the runner in the niche beneath the arrow-head when the runner is at a canted orientation to provide a stable grasp on the runner. In all events, a bi-stable state will exist if rotation of the runner in either direction tends to spread the lips of the clamp apart.
- the clamps may be generally triangular in cross-section and may be formed of any suitable resilient material e.g. spring steel, resilient plastic.
- the baseplate of the clamp may be flat or it may be dished inwardly into the interior receiving space of the clamp. In either case a fastening hole is formed in this baseplate through which a fastener may pass to engage with the structural ceiling.
- the retention force at the nip of the clamp can be increased in accordance with the tightness with which this fastener engages the structural ceiling.
- a notch may be present in the lips, the notch having sufficient width to allow a screwdriver to penetrate into the internal receiving space of the clamp.
- a ceiling supporting framework is provided that extends longitudinally beneath a ceiling.
- runners are mounted longitudinally in a parallel orientation to each other.
- transverse cross bars or cross runners may be provided.
- Such cross runners may have an inverted “T” cross-section or the cross-section of an “I” beam.
- Lower flanges extending outwardly from one or both sides of the cross runners engage with the edges of ceiling panels to provide support and/or to conceal a seam.
- the outer ends of the lower flanges on the cross-runners may be stepped upwardly by the thickness of the flange to provide a protruding plate that will rest on the lateral flange of a longitudinal runner.
- the height of the step aligns the lower surfaces of both classes of runners.
- a separate engagement piece may be fitted to the web at the end of a length of a cross runner to provide the protruding plate.
- the engagement piece may be fitted to a standard longitudinal type runner, reducing the number of distinct components required.
- a central notch is formed in the protruding plates or engagement piece at each end. This notch engages an upright connector plate that extends transversely through a slot in the web of the longitudinal runner.
- the transverse connector plate is held in a vertical orientation at a fixed location along the web of the longitudinal runner by the sides of the slot into which it is fitted.
- two locking tabs may be erupted out of the surface of the upright plate.
- the edges of these tabs are positioned to bear against opposite sides of the longitudinal runner's web, adjacent to the slot. At least one of such tabs is resiliently compressible into alignment with the surfaces of the upright plate to permit such tab to penetrate into the slot to its final position.
- a further feature of the invention is that a second drop ceiling may be installed beneath an existing drop ceiling.
- Existing runners of a conventional drop ceiling are used to support clamps of the invention through joining pieces which attach to the existing runners.
- Coupling means such as threaded fasteners hold the clamps in place beneath the joining pieces.
- an existing drop ceiling that needs painting or cleaning may be left in place with a new second ceiling installed directly below and adjacent to the existing drop ceiling through use of such joining pieces.

- FIGS. 20, 21 and 22 are pictorial views on alternate variants on the joining plate of FIG. 19.
- a structural ceiling 1 includes joists 2 to which are fastened clamps 3 according to the invention. Runners 4 snap into the clamps 3 to provide support for ceiling panels 5 (not shown in FIG. 1).
- a runner 4 is about to have its peripheral engagement edge 13 , arrow-head shaped in cross section, pressed through the nip 6 formed by lips 7 to penetrate the interior space 8 within the clamp 3 , c.f. FIG. 3.
- ceiling panels 5 may be carried-up with the runners 4 , resting on lateral flanges 9 that provide ledges 10 for the ceiling panels 5 to rest on.
- the clamp 3 has sides 12 as shown in FIG. 3 that are 10 tapered proceeding towards the nip 6 .
- the angle between the side portions 12 A is preferably more obtuse in the side portions 12 A proximate to the nip 6 . This provides an increased resistance to removal of the engagement edge 13 on the runner 4 from the clamps 3 .

- An access notch 17 is formed in the lips 7 to provide access for a tool (not shown) to fastener 18 present in the fastener opening 16 .
- the lips 7 of the clamp 3 may have a slight outward curl 19 to permit ready spreading of the lips 7 by the engagement edge 13 of the runners 4 .
- a transverse connector plate 20 is fitted into a slot 21 in the web 14 of a longitudinal runner 4 , preferably stabilized by the lower side 35 of the enlarged, engagement edge 13 .
- This plate 20 generally rests on and largely spans both lateral flanges 9 .
- Tabs 29 erupted from the plate 20 serve as fingers with web-engaging edges 22 which bear against the runner web 14 to stabilize the plate 20 in place.
- transverse cross runners 23 have at their outer ends a upwardly-stepped, protruding, ledge-engaging ends or plates 24 that are notched with a notch 25 to engage with a flange 9 with the notch 25 fitted into a transverse plate 20 - c.f. FIG. 11.
- FIGS. 15 and 16 show the abutting connection of the ends of runners 4 using a pair of dowels 28 .
- the dowel diameter is preferably selected to fill, together with the peripheral edge 13 and web 14 of a runner 4 , the interior space 8 within a clamp 3 . This ensures the true alignment of adjacent runners 4 .
- FIG. 17 an enlarged detail of an arrow-headed peripheral edge 13 grasped by lips 7 of a clamp 3 is depicted.
- the runner 4 is in a bi-stable orientation when canted sideways because the lips 7 must separate, at least slightly, if the runner 4 is rotated in either lateral direction.
- a variety of cross-sectional shapes can be provided for the peripheral edge 13 to meet this criterion.
- the side portions 12 A are conveniently angled to lie against the underside face of the arrowhead, in near parallel alignment for maximum stability.
- FIG. 18 a joining plate 30 is shown held in place by a thumb screw 31 engaging the flange 10 on a conventional installed runner 42 .
- a threaded hole 32 is provided in the plate 30 for attachment of a clamp 3 by a screw (not shown) passing through clamp fastener hole 16 .
- FIG. 19 an alternate joining plate 33 , corresponding to FIG. 21, is attached to the flanges 10 of a conventional runner 42 .
- the holes 34 on the two-piece plate 33 are engaged by the threads 35 on screw 36 so as to force a clamping action to be applied by curled edges 37 on the flange 10 .
- FIGS. 20 and 22 show alternate forms of joining plates 38 , 39 with thread couplings 40 , 41 to receive screws 36 and fix the joining plates 38 , 39 to a conventional runner flange 10 .
