Definitions
- This invention relates to the area of building design and architecture and in particular to the area of providing an efficient and flexible means for ducting of cabling and wiring and the like inside the rooms of buildings.
- Interior walls may include plaster board over a cavity through which cabling may be run or may be a solid surface such as brick or concrete which may be plastered over. In the latter case electrical cabling and the like may be set back into the plaster otherwise it is customary for it to be enclosed in conduit running from the roof to power outlets located either on walls or adjacent skirting boards. It is also known for cabling to be run behind skirting boards.
- WP51 ⁇ SPEC ⁇ DEMAINE SPC ⁇ BV ⁇ 8 August, 2001 both power other cables there is a difficulty of installing such products and generally also a proliferation of wiring across floors from product to power outlet.
- the invention is a wall cornice located at least partially around the periphery of walls of a room which cornice is so formed as to receive and carry wiring, cabling, ducting and other materials and is provided with means for connecting a power supply in the cornice to carrier means adapted to carry power to any required location beneath the cornice thereby removing the need for fixed power outlets in a room.
- the cornice can be used not only to carry cables but also to receive step down transformers, to provide an electrical bus bar and as a support for a ceiling.
- the cornice can further carry any wiring required in a room. It is however preferred that all electrical power required in a room be sourced from the electrical busbar within the cornice.
- the cornice can be used without the busbar over windows or doors and the like to form a pelmet over these objects thereby giving a consistent look to the perimeter of a room.
- WP51 ⁇ SPEC ⁇ DEMAINE SPC ⁇ BV ⁇ 8 August, 2001 It is further preferred that the cornice which is provided is adjacent the upper edge of a wall and all electrical and other cabling required within a room can be ducted through the cornice to wherever it is required.
- cornice of the invention have provision for the support of hanging wall units.
- the cornice of the invention is intended to facilitate the elimination of all fixed wiring in houses and apartments and the like.
- the concept allows developers to supply apartment shells which can be readily fitted out to suit individual resident's needs. This is because all power and lighting requirements can be added later and items which are not allowed for in speculative apartment construction can be added at a later time.
- Fig. 1 Shows a perspective cross-section through an embodiment of the cornice system including wall and ceiling panels;
- Fig. 2 Shows the basic extrusion of the cornice chassis;
- Fig. 3 Shows the power track (busbar) clipped into the cornice chassis
- Fig. 4 Shows the cornice with an adaptor to allow power to be taken off the busbar;
- Fig. 5 Shows the cornice with vertical suspension members hung over a furniture suspension strip;
- Fig. 6 Shows the cornice with wall and ceiling supports in situ;
- FIG. 1 In a first embodiment of the cornice system ( Figure 1) which incorporates all cable management a full size raceway is provided.
- the main cornice extrusion 10 is set into an upper corner of the wall and a power track or busbar 1 is clipped into it as shown in Figure 3.
- An adaptor 12 allows power to be taken off the busbar with a connector for the wiring system.
- a rotary knob 14 engages conductors with the track as with a standard such system but since the output position is stationary another set of contacts will be required within the adaptor to provide power via element 15 to mounted appliances and power outlets etc.
- Brackets 20 are then clipped to the extrusion and wiring 21 , including controlled cabling for lighting, telephone cables, category 5 cables and controlled wiring for the power supply are draped over the "cable tray" 20 brackets.
- a steel furniture suspension strip 22 is then fixed to the lower part of the extrusion and vertical suspension members 23 are hung from the suspension strip 22 along edge 24 by means of slots 25.
- Panels 30 are then clipped to the slotted vertical suspension members which panels may accommodate shelving, wall mounted speakers, furniture including cabinets and any other pieces of furniture or equipment required. In addition panels with power outlets can be hung on these vertical members and can be readily repositioned if required.
- Figure 6 shows an edge of the ceiling 40 supported on the bracket 20 system while figure 1 shows the entire arrangement with a cover plate 50 clipped in place.
- the cover plate is shown clipped into place it is envisaged that the cover plate could be hingedly attached to the cornice. It is also envisaged that other embodiments of the invention may use some other shaped cover than a plate as appropriate to the cornice shape.
- the cornice system be manufactured from any appropriate material including plastic or any metal.
- the relevant portion of the cornice would however have to be sufficiently strong to support the hanging wall members. It is also envisaged that
- P51 ⁇ SPEC ⁇ DEMAINE SPC ⁇ BV ⁇ 8 August, 2001 another embodiment of the invention include a cover plate which extends up to the ceiling where no interior lining ceiling is supported by the cornice brackets.
- the cornice could be run around the entire periphery of a ceiling with the absence of the busbar in the vicinity of doors and windows so that the cornice acts as a pelmet in these regions thus providing a more uniform effect in a room.
- a cornice such as that of the invention allows the installation of wall units which may be associated with sophisticated audio visual installations with easy adaptation to add new technology, computers, additional phone lines etc.
- WP51 ⁇ SPEC ⁇ DEMAINE SPC ⁇ BV ⁇ 8 August, 2001 associated power and such like in hospitals thereby permitting bedhead equipment to be updated and relocated with greater ease than currently is the case.
- the concept of the invention includes the integration of the supply of all room requirements from a wall cornice thereby removing the requirement for any other source of such supply.
