Abstract
A faceted architectural fixture is provided that include one or more folded elongated strips, each providing a series of alternating faceted surfaces.
Claims19
An architectural fixture comprising a top side, a bottom side and a length, composing:
- a plurality of architectural fixture modules configured in an array, wherein each architectural fixture module comprises a folded elongated strip including a plurality of fold lines, wherein the folded elongated strip has a longitudinal axis in its unfolded configuration, wherein the folded elongated strip is folded in alternating directions along the plurality of fold lines with each successive fold line along the elongated strip being folded in an alternating direction from the direction of a prior fold line, and wherein all the fold lines are diagonally oriented in parallel with each other in the unfolded configuration with respect to the longitudinal axis to provide a series of alternating faceted surfaces on the folded elongated strip.
An architectural fixture module comprising a top side, a bottom side and a length, comprising:
- at least one unit structure comprising two side-by-side adjacent folded elongated strips, wherein each folded elongated strip has a longitudinal axis in its unfolded configuration and includes a plurality of fold lines,
- wherein each folded elongated strip is folded in alternating directions along the plurality of fold lines with each successive fold line along the elongated strip being folded in an alternating direction from the direction of a prior fold line, and wherein all the fold lines are diagonally oriented in parallel with each other in the unfolded configuration with respect to the longitudinal axis to provide a series of alternating faceted surfaces on the folded elongated strip.
A support attachment bracket for attaching a fixture module presenting faceted surfaces to a support structure, the support attachment bracket comprising:
- a top and a bottom, with a first bottom section comprising a plate segment for attachment to a first surface of a fixture module and a second section comprising a plate segment for attachment to a second surface of a fixture module;
- and
- an upwardly extending top plate section having an expansive dimension in a plane and two lateral sides each side having a tab laterally protruding therefrom in the plane,
- wherein each of the plates segments of the first bottom section and the second bottom section is disposed in a plane transverse to the plane in which the upwardly extending top plate section is disposed in, and
- wherein the support attachment bracket has an inverted Y-configuration.
A support attachment bracket for attaching a fixture module presenting faceted surfaces to a support structure, the support attachment bracket comprising:
- a top and a bottom, with a first bottom section comprising a plate segment for attachment to a first surface of a fixture module and a second section comprising a plate segment for attachment to a second surface of a fixture module;
- and
- an upwardly extending top plate section having an expansive dimension in a plane and at least one hole formed there through sized and configured for receiving a fastener,
- wherein each of the plates segments of the first bottom section and the second bottom section is disposed in a plane transverse to the plane in which the upwardly extending top plate section is disposed in, and
- wherein the support attachment bracket has an inverted Y-configuration.
