Abstract
A ceiling system, comprising at least two elongate carriers, configured to support at least one ceiling panel; at least one elongate beam; and at least two connecting brackets; wherein each elongate carrier is supported at one or more suspension locations; each elongate beam is coupled to at least two elongate carriers by a respective connecting bracket; and the connecting brackets are coupled to the elongate carriers by a push-fit connection.
Claims23
A ceiling system, comprising:
- at least two elongate carriers, configured to support at least one ceiling panel;
- at least one elongate beam;
- and
- at least two connecting brackets;
- wherein:
- each elongate carrier is supported at one or more suspension locations;
- each elongate beam is coupled to at least two elongate carriers by a respective connecting bracket;
- the connecting brackets are coupled to the elongate carriers by a push-fit connection:
- at least one connecting bracket has a first end and a second end, each configured to engage with a respective location on an elongate carrier, said locations separated in the elongate direction of the elongate carrier;
- and
- said first and second ends of the connecting bracket are connected by a section of the connecting bracket that, when the connecting bracket is coupled to an elongate carrier, is located on an opposite side of the elongate carrier to the position of the ceiling panels when they are coupled to the elongate carrier.
