    摘要: One embodiment provides a method and apparatus for suspending air conditioning duct works from a support structure comprising unistrut type support beams which apparatus includes a plurality of support brackets arranged and configured for being slidably interlockable with the interior of the unistrut beam members. The support brackets can be slid inside the interior of the support beam until adjacent a support beam which support beam can be connected to the support bracket. In like manner additional support brackets can be inserted into the interior of the support beam members to be adjustably located next to their respective support rod. In such manner multiple support rods can be used to support a frame member even where the support rods are not symmetrically located along the length of the support beam as the support bracket can be slid/moved inside the support beam until lining up with its respective support rod. Additionally, the entire support framework can be moved relative to the plurality of support rods by sliding the framework relative to the support brackets. In such manner the location of the supporting frame member can be changed without moving the support rods.

    摘要: A ceiling beam connector that permits the incorporation of ornamental panel designs such as triangles, parallelograms, and trapezoids into suspended ceilings. The connector has a faceplate attached to either two arms or a leg. The leg is attached to either the faceplate or an arm at an acute angle measured from an axis perpendicular to the faceplate. To maintain standard beam lengths and rout spacing at 2 foot, 3 foot, or 4 foot (61 cm, 91 cm, or 122 cm) beam spacing, the leg may project out at the following angles measured from the axis: about 14.0°, about 18.4°, about 26.6°, about 30.3°, about 45.0°, about 59.7°, about 63.4°, about 71.6°, or about 76.0°.

    摘要: In a suspended ceiling a housing is provided including a light located within an interior chamber having a lower opening. The housing includes lateral sides with slots therein which can receive fasteners coupled to ends of other T-bars. Ends of the housing can include fasteners, such as tabs or clips, which attach ends of the housing to adjacent supports, such as other T-bars within the suspended ceiling. In one embodiment, the housing has a constant cross-sectional form. The cross-sectional form can include lateral sides defined by lateral cross-tees with a vertical spine and lateral rest shelf upon which an edge of the ceiling tile can be supported. A central cross-tee can optionally be provided extending down from upper portions of the housing and between diagonal spans on upper lateral portions of the housing. One or more diffusers span the lower opening of the housing.

    摘要: A wire bending device is adapted for bending hanger wires hanging from a ceiling in preparation of the installation of rails of a suspended ceiling. The bending device comprises a pole having a top extremity, a head module mounted to the pole, and a pair of handles distant from the head module for holding and activating the head module. The head module comprises a casing, a motor enclosed in the casing, a channel housed by the casing for receiving the hanger wire; and a push member driven by the motor travelling between an hanger wire insert position and a wire bend position, wherein the push member is adapted to push against the hanger wire and bend the hanger wire during its travel. Thereby, one may operate the bending device from the ground and bend hanger wires for installation of suspended ceiling rails.

    摘要: A ceiling grid lighting assembly for use in suspended ceiling systems is provided with multiple linear lighting modules in parallel arrangement. End plates are used to connect, support, and enclose longitudinal ends of the elongate body of each linear lighting modules while simultaneously functioning as reflective faces for optical cavities. A configured gap spacing between individual linear lighting modules can be used to house and support components such as additional light sources, acoustic or decorative panels, HVAC components, or power systems, controls or sensors. The end plate can also be configured to allow a T-bar to be placed in the configured gap spacing thereby enabling the mounting of the assembly in-line upon the longitudinal axis of a ceiling grid T-bar. Embodiments of linear lighting modules are presented comprising LED light sources, light guides and diffusers housed within the elongate body. The light guides may be edgelit from one or two sides and aligned horizontally or tilted relative to the ceiling grid plane.

    摘要: An angled coupling to receive multiple pieces of threaded rod in order to adjust the location of the threaded rod, that can also be used for seismic restraints and/or storm surge restraints. The angled coupling includes a first internally threaded coupler and a second internally threaded coupler connected to the first coupler and extending from the first coupler at a defined angle from an axis thereof. The angled coupling may include additional couplings extending from the first coupler at the defined angle that may be spaced apart around the axis of the first coupling. The first coupler may be a passthrough coupler to either have a threaded rod pass therethrough or to receive a first threaded rod in a first side and a second threaded rod in a second side. The angled coupling is made of a high strength material (e.g., steel, cast iron, composites, high strength plastics, combinations thereof).

    摘要: Described herein is a ceiling system in one embodiment includes a grid support member, ceiling panel, and grid hanger configured to support the grid support member in a suspended manner from an overhead structural support. The grid hanger includes a mounting bracket configured for attachment to the structural support and a hanger member. The hanger member is adjustable in a plurality of selectable mounting positions relative to the mounting bracket, thereby allowing the mounted height of the grid support member to be adjusted in the field. In some embodiment, the hanger member is further angularly adjustable relative to the mounting bracket to avoid installation obstacles. Locking elements are provided to secure the hanger member in the selected mounting position. In one embodiment, the grid support member may have a T-shaped cross section.
