It is thus possible to adjust the position of any ceiling tile 502a-c being suspended by means of the body units 508a-c and the profile element 509. By this arrangement the position may be adjusted in two substantially perpendicular directions along the surface of the structural ceiling of the building.
  • a body unit 608a is attached to a profile element 609a by being slid into and substantially encased by the profile element 609a. It is to be noted that the openings of the paths 605a into which the wires 604a are inserted are provided on un underside of the body unit 608a to facilitate the sliding arrangement into the profile element 609a.
  • Fig.6b illustrates a body unit 608b provided with peripheral groves 601 b used to slide the body unit 608b onto a profile element 609b having a U shaped cross section.
  • wires 604b may still exit on the peripheral surface of the body unit 608b as is shown.
  • Fig. 6c illustrates a body unit 608c provided with an internal grove 601 c used to slide the body unit 608c onto a profile element 609c having an I shaped cross section. Also in this arrangement wires 604c may exit the peripheral surface of the body unit 608c as is shown.
  • a method for providing a suspended ceiling will be described in detail hereinafter. The method will for reasons of simplicity be described when using a suspended ceiling system 100 as depicted in Fig. 1 . As will be substantiated below, a plurality of the method steps may be performed in a random order. The order of the steps in which they occur in the claims and in the below description is by no means limiting.
  • the material needed will be provided.
  • the material needed e.g. the body units 108a-c, the wires 104a-c and the ceiling tiles 102a-e may be provided at different points of time or at the same time.
  • the work may start with different steps or working moments.
  • One way to start is to conduct measurement related to determining the position of the body units 108a-c which are to be attached to the structural ceiling. The determination may be conducted with any suitable measurement technique including laser assisted measurements. When the correct positions for attachment of the body units 108a-c to the structural ceiling has been determined, holes may be drilled for attaching the body units 108a-c to the structural ceiling. It is however of course possible to use other suitable attachment techniques including adhesives, nails or similar.
  • attachment elements 406 may be provided by being screwed into the ceiling tiles 102a-e. The so attached attachment elements 406 will provide attachment points 106a-e. The ceiling tiles 102a-e are thus prepared for being suspended by means of the attachment elements 406.
  • Sting like suspension members 104a-e in form of wires 104a-e may then be prepared.
  • the wires 104a-e may be provided in suitable
  • predetermined lengths may be provided on a roll, bobbin or similar and then cut into suitable lengths.
  • the wires 104a-e may then be provided with hook elements 407 in one of their free ends.
  • the wires 104a-e may then be passed through the channels 205a-b of the bodies 107a-e, such that a single wire is passed through each of the channels 205a-b.
  • a hook element 407 may also be provided in the remaining free end of the wires 104a-e.
  • wires 104a-e may then be looked in their respective channels 205a-b using a locking screw 303. By tightening the locking screw 303 the wires 104a-e becomes locked with respect to the body units 104a-e.
  • One hook element 407 of each wire may then be attached to their intended attachment points 106a-e on the ceiling tiles 102a-e.
  • the ceiling tiles 102a-e are thus hanging in a substantially vertical direction. It is now possible to make further adjustments of the lengths of the respective wires 104a-d. Following this the remaining hook elements 407 may be attached to their respective intended attachment points 106a-e.
  • the ceiling tiles 102a-e are thus suspended in a manner substantially parallel to the structural ceiling as illustrated in Fig. 1 . Further adjustments may then be carried out if needed. For instance, the lengths of the wires 104a-e may be further adjusted such that the weight of the ceiling tiles 102a-e are evenly distributed. Also the rotation of the ceiling tiles may be adjusted. This may e.g. be performed by rotating the body units 108a-e or by rotating the section 208b.2 when using a body unit of the type illustrated in Fig 2b.
  • the body unit which in the shown embodiments has been illustrated as a single body may be formed as separate bodies, having at least one suspension member receiving path each.

Abstract

La présente invention concerne un système de plafond suspendu (100, 500) destiné à une pièce dotée d'un plafond porteur. Le système (100, 500) de la présente invention comprend : une unité de corps (108a-e, 208a-c, 308, 508a-c, 608 a-c) pouvant être fixée audit plafond porteur, deux éléments de suspension (104a-e, 204a-c, 304, 404, 504a-c, 604a-c) en forme de fil tels que des câbles, lignes, cordons ou fils, et une dalle de plafond (102a-e, 402, 502a-c) bénéficiant de propriétés d'isolation phonique. Chaque élément de suspension en forme de fil (104a-e, 204a-c, 304, 404, 504a-c, 604a-c) peut être fixé à ladite dalle de plafond (102a-e, 402, 502a-c) au niveau de deux points de fixation (106a-e, 406). Ladite dalle de plafond (102a-e, 402, 502a-c) peut être suspendue au sein de ladite unité de corps (108a-e, 208a-c, 308, 508a-c, 608 a-c) grâce aux deux éléments de suspension en forme de fil ou plus (104a-e, 204a-c, 304, 404, 504a-c, 604a- c). Ladite unité de corps (108a-e, 208a-c, 308, 508a-c, 608 a-c) définit, pour chacun des deux éléments de suspension ou plus (104a-e, 204a-c, 304, 404, 504a-c, 604a-c), un trajet de réception d'élément de suspension (205a-c, 305) destiné à la réception desdits éléments de suspension. La présente invention concerne également un procédé correspondant.
