Definitions
- the ceiling has several functions. In addition to covering the building surfaces such as plumbing, air conditioning duct work and electrical wiring under the concrete floor slab or roof above, it often supports the lighting fixtures which illuminate the space below. In large open office areas this may be the only way to support these fixtures The ceiling also serves to absorb much of the sound generated in office by the people and machines in order to reduce the overall noise level.
- Thermal insulation may also be provided by, or in combination with, the ceiling structure. Alternatively the insulation may be provided behind and remote from the ceiling itself.
- the ceiling together with the floor and walls defines the aesthetic appearance of the office.
- Ceiling systems used in commercial buildings must satisfy local government regulations and various Australian Standards, in particular AS2785 - Suspended Ceilings - Design and Installation. It must also satisfy fire safety standards and may be required to have a fire resistance rating in combination with the floor slabs.
- Ceiling systems hitherto have mostly comprised steel rods fixed to the floor slab above which support a horizontal grid of light weight supporting members which in turn support a plurality of ceiling panels.
- these panels are 600 mm wide and 1200 mm long made from a variety of materials, the most common being gypsum plaster or the like.
- the invention consists in a hanger for suspension of ceiling panels comprising, a hanger member adapted to be fixed adjacent one end, an adjustment plate selectively engagable with said hanger member at a selected distance from the fixed end, and a pair of support hooks depending from said adjustment plate to respectively engage adjacent ceiling panels, said hooks being attached to said adjustment plate by means of a shank passing through an aperture in the adjustment plate, said shank terminating at its end proximal to said plate in a stop of larger dimension than said aperture, and being moveable between a lowered position in which said stop abuts said adjustment plate and a raised position by movement of said shank through said aperture.
- said hanger member is a rod and the adjustment plate is adapted for selective frictional engagement with a straight portion of the rod and is selectively releasable to slide along said straight portion to effect height adjustment of said ceiling panels.
- the invention consists in a ceiling panel comprising, a perforate structural sheet, a spaced apart layer of plyable material covering one surface of said sheet, and means to tension said spaced apart layer.
- the ceiling panel includes two protruding edge ribs extending outwards over which the spaced apart layer of material is tensioned.
- thermal and/or acoustic insulation material is included adjacent the remote surface of said structural sheet. If it is preferred that the insulation be remote from said panels, it can be advantageous to include a dust cover adjacent the remote surface of the perforated structural sheet.
- said panel includes two parallel side flanges.
- the distal ends of the flanges terminate in an inwardly directed lip.
- said flanges include apertures adapted to receive the aforementioned support hooks for suspension of the panels. It is necessary then that the flanges are angled inwards to allow access to the support hooks such that adjacent panels rest in edge to edge abutment in the lowered position.
- said means to tension the spaced apart layer comprises a splined or serrated rod disposed within the lip.
- Preferred embodiments of the invention therefore provide an easily adjustable hanger system from which custom ceiling panels are suspended.
- the panel construction is modular to allow use of a variety of interchangable coverings and insulation materials as required.
- Figure 1 is a schematic side view of the ceiling hanger according to a first aspect of the invention with sectional part views of the panels according to a second aspect of the invention, showing one panel in the lowered position and an adjacent panel in the raised position.
- Figure 2 is a schematic side elevation of the hanger according to a first aspect of the invention.
- Figure 3 is a schematic end elevation of the hanger shown in Figure 2.
- Figure 4 is a schematic sectional transverse view of the panel according to the invention.
- Figure 5 is an exploded view of the detail 5 shown in Figure 4.
- Figure 6 is a schematic side elevation of the invention as shown in Figure 1 wherein one of the panels has been unhooked on one side and is hanging in the vertical position.
- Figure 1 shows a hanger 1 supporting two adjacent ceiling panels 2, one illustrated in the lowered position and the other in the raised position.
- hanger 1 comprises a hanger member in the form of a rod 3 attached to an adjustment plate 4 from which two support hooks 5 depend.
- Rod 3 comprises an upper portion 6 and a lower portion 7.
- the upper portion 6 has at its free end fixing means (not shown) for attachment of the rod to the building structure or an intermediate member fixed thereto.
- the lower portion 7 slidably engages the adjustment plate 4 by passing through a slotted aperture 8 as shown.
- Adjustment plate 4 has two additional adjacent apertures 9 from which the support hooks 5 are hung.
- the support hooks 5 each comprise a shank 10 having at the lowermost end a panel engagement hook 11. At the other end of the shank 10 a smaller plate engagement hook 12 is provided to act as a stop against adjustment plate 4.
- Slot 8 must be sized such that when the load is removed from support hooks 5 slight tilting of plate 4 toward the horizontal position will enable it to slide freely along the straight portion 7 of rod 3 to effect infinately variable height adjustment along the length of the straight portion.
- apertures 9 should provide adequate clearance on shanks 10 and hooks 5 to allow free sliding of shank 10 as illustrated in Figure 1.
- the panel 2 comprises a perforated steel structural sheet 15, a layer of fabric 16 attached to the external surface thereof and a thermal and accoustic insulation material 17 adjacent the remote surface of the steel sheet 15.
- the perforated steel sheet 15 is roll formed to provide a rectangular tray approximately lm wide and from lm to 8m in length.
- the tray 15 has 2 edge ribs 18 which in turn define a recess 19 in the outer surface.
- Two integral side flanges 20 are provided which terminate at their free end in an inwardly and downwardly directed lip 21.
- the side flanges 20 are formed by rolling the edges of the sheet through an angle in excess of 90° such that they are angled slightly inwards at their free end. Apertures (not shown) are provided at suitable locations in side flanges 20 for engagement of the panels 2 with the aforementioned panel hooks 11 forming part of the hanger 1. The inwardly angled side panels 20 thereby allow access to the support hooks 5 such that when adjacent panels are suspended they can rest in mutual unobstructed edge to edge abutment.
- At least one serrated splined rod 22 is provided within a lip 21 for tensioning and securing the fabric 16.
- This sytem allows great flexibility in the selected finish of the panels and allows this to be changed quite simply if and when required.
- the insulation material 17 may be advantageous to incorporate with the panel as shown.
- hangers 1 In use the hangers 1 as illustrated in the drawings are secured from end portions 6 by appropriate means to the underside of the roof of the building structure. The panels are then systematically attached to the support hooks 5 and the adjustment plate 4 can be moved with relative ease to ensure a level ceiling results.
- the method of construction of the panel by roll forming from a sheet material enables the panels to be made in a wide variety of shapes and sizes.
- the ribs 18 and corresponding indent 19 serves a multitude of purposes.
- the ribs provide rigidity to the panel structure as a whole enabling each panel to span long distances without additional support.
- the large panel size that is possible with this system further allows architects and decorators more design freedom as there are fewer panel joints to affect the appearance of the ceiling.
- perforated steel sheet is to allow sound to pass through the fabric and the metal tray to be absorbed in a layer of insulation lying in the top of the panel. It is believed that the air space provided between the cloth and the panel further contributes to the accoustic insulation.
- the recess serves to hide any deformities and burrs in the perforated metal sheet that may exist and by tensioning the fabric across the ribs a flat and even surface is always ensured. Further, when the panels are constantly manhandled any slight bending of the panel which may occur will not affect the appearance of the underside of the panel. Overall a more durable panel results than for example those made of gyprock.
- metal sheet which may be wasteful of material it can be slit and expanded to form a matrix in the manner well known to those skilled in the art.
- the hanger as described incorporates an adjustment system which relies on frictional engagement between the rod and the adjustment plate as this is a simple and effective method of effecting a height adjustment.
- this method of adjustment can be replaced by known, though less desirable means for example comprising a threaded bar with adjustable locknut which can position and support the hanger plate as required.
