Definitions

  • the present invention relates to ceilings and i more particularly directed toward hung ceilings adapted to include wherever desired in the ceiling, inbuilt or flush mounted lighting equipment.
  • the present invention contemplates improved yokes for use in such ceiling constructions of increased rigidity and with improved facilities for supporting the wiring channel of the lighting fixture from the yoke as well as for the securement of the yoke to the hanger by which it is suspended.
  • the invention also contemplates improvements in the yoke per se which facilitates securing to it the T-bar used in common forms of acoustical ceiling.
  • Figures 1 and 2 are perspective views taken from above, of hung ceilings adapted to receive recessed lighting equipment, showing difierent arrangements for supporting the ceiling and wiring channels;
  • Figure 3 is a fragmentary view illustrating a clamp hang-er for a wiring channel
  • Figure 4 is a top plan view of one form of hanger yoke used for supporting both the hung ceiling and the wiring channel or either;
  • Figure 5 is a side elevational View of the hanger yoke of Figure 4.
  • Figures 6 and 7 are transverse sectional views on the lines 6-6 and '
  • Figure 8 is a longitudinal sectional View on the line 8-8 of Figure 4;
  • Figure 9 is a perspective view of one of the clamping members detached
  • Figure 10 is a top plan view of another form of construction.
  • Figure 11 is a side elevation of the structure of Figure 10.
  • Figure 12 is a fragmentary elevational view illustrating a modified form of construction.
  • hanger rods W are secured tothe structural ceiling not shown in suitable spacings. Where tiled ceilings are employed the spacing of the rows of hanger rods is such as to accommodate the tiles. The spacing of the hanger rods lengthwise of the row-s depends upon the structural layout and where lighting equipment is to be or may be employed.
  • Each of the hanger rods H] of Figures 1 and 2 is secured to a suitable hanger.
  • the hanger shown in Figures 4 to 9 employs a hanger strap H of inverted U-shape with a slot 12 to receive the hanger rod and with feet I3, secured to bolts l3 welded to a hanger yoke M.
  • This yoke is made out of steel of channel-shaped cross-section and is bent into an inverted U- shape as will be apparent from the drawings.
  • the web Ma of the channel is provided with an aperture
  • the yoke I4 receives two clamping members 53 and I9 which for convenience in manufacture, are made alike and are shown more clearly in Figure 9.
  • Each clamp member is made out of channel-shaped stock, provided with an opening 2
  • the material punched out to form the opening 20 provides two welding lugs 20a which fit outside the yoke.

  • Each clamping member has a downwardly bent lug 23 formed out of the material of the lower flange 22 and this downwardly bent lug is provided with a hole 24.
  • the cut-out of this lower flange provides a slot or opening in it which accommodates the lug It so that the edges of the flanges 22 of the right hand clamping member may be forced against the head of the wiring channel by the bolt H.
  • 8 on the left hand side of Figures 4, 5 and 8, is brought against a positioning lug 25 and the welding lugs 20a are spot welded to the yoke as indicated at 26. It, therefore, provides a fixed abutment for the bead 21 along the left hand side of the wiring channel 28.
  • the member IS on the right is loose and the bolt IT is used to force the clamping member to the left and press its lower flange 22 under the bead 21a on the right hand side of the wiring channel 28. Twisting is prevented by the top flange 2
