    摘要: An improved connector for a main tee of a suspended ceiling grid that has multiple locking elements that increase connection tensile force properties. The connector has an end tab with a forward portion bent at a lead angle and a receiving pocket with an outwardly flared entrance that, with an opposed identical connector, cooperate to provide smooth horizontal alignment. The end portion, additionally, includes an edge profile that vertically aligns itself with the receiving pocket of the opposed connector. The receiving pocket includes a spring-like resilient wall that limits the assembly force to overcome interference with projecting lock elements. The spring-like pocket wall and shape of the lock elements contribute to an audible click signaling that a connection has been completed. One of the lock elements works with a relief groove to augment self-alignment of the connectors.

    摘要: An elongated sheet metal channel for transversely supporting drywall grid tees at regular intervals along the channel, the channel having a generally vertical web, and a lower flange and an upper flange, a vertical spacing between the flanges being sufficient to receive upright grid tees at the intervals, the lower flange having outer and mid-width portions lying in a generally horizontal plane at an interval when a tee is received therein, opposed formations stamped into one of the flanges at the intervals to longitudinally locate the grid tee, the upper flange at said intervals having a pocket for receiving a distorted end of a grid tee.

    摘要: A dynamic acoustic system for use in connection with an indoor environment includes a plurality of elongated acoustic bars and a controller operably to each of the elongated acoustic bars. Each of the bars is operably coupled to a ceiling member of the indoor environment and includes an upper portion, a lower portion, a plurality of side surfaces extending between the upper and lower portions, an interior region at least partially defined by the upper portion, the lower portion, and the plurality of side surfaces, and at least one movable element movable between first and second positions. The controller selectively controls operation of the at least one movable element of a desired number of the plurality of elongated acoustic bars to alter an environmental characteristic of the indoor environment.

    摘要: An assembly for demonstrating sound transmission properties includes a base portion and a tray portion partially defining a transmission aperture is removably inserted into a portion of the base portion. A first sound-reducing tile having a first sound transmission property is placed in the tray portion and a sound generating device disposed in an interior volume of the base portion emits sound that is attenuated by the first sound-reducing tile as the sound exits the transmission aperture. A second sound-reducing tile having a second sound transmission property is placed in the tray portion and the sound generating device disposed in the interior volume of the base portion emits sound that is attenuated by the second sound-reducing tile as the sound exits the transmission aperture. A sound measuring device disposed outside the interior volume device can compare the first and second sound transmission properties.

    摘要: An acoustical and illumination baffle for suspension in a ceiling area comprising a housing and a light strip in the housing, the housing being an elongated sheet metal hollow body with opposed sidewalls and a bottom wall, at least a portion of the sidewalls and/or the bottom wall having perforations, a visible light emitting strip within the housing and extending along a major part of the length of the housing and extending a major part of a length of the housing, the light emitting strip being arranged to radiate visible light through an open area in a wall of the housing thereby illuminate an area below the housing, the perforations serving to reduce noise existing in the area below the baffle and to allow cooling air circulation through the housing.
