Abstract
A modular fixture includes a plurality of acoustic panels and at least one support structure, where the acoustic panels have at least one cut-out that is configured to partially receive a portion of the at least one support structure, which is inserted into the at least one cut-out. The plurality of acoustic panels engage the at least one support structure and are supported by it. The at least one cut-out can be of a variety of shapes, including dovetail, rectangular and cylindrical, and the each of the plurality of acoustic panels may be of differing shape profiles.
Claims30
A modular sound absorbing fixture comprising:
- at least one linear support structure;
- a plurality of acoustic panels, each of said plurality of acoustic panels having at least one cut-out formed therewithin configured to at least partially receive at least a portion of the at least one support structure via insertion of said portion into said at least one cut-out, whereby said plurality of acoustic panels engage said at least one support structure and are supported by said at least one support structure.
A modular sound absorbing fixture comprising:
- at least one linear support structure;
- at least one internal support bracket attached to the at least one linear support structure;
- and
- a plurality of acoustic panels configured to telescopically engage the at least one internal support bracket.
A modular acoustic baffle fixture comprising:
- an upper linear support structure and a lower linear support structure spaced apart from the upper linear support structure to create a spatial void therebetween;
- at least one internal panel brace extending between the upper linear support structure and the lower linear support structure,
- at least one first fastener element positioned in said at least said one internal panel brace;
- at least one suspension member affixed to the upper linear support structure, said at least one suspension member serving to permit the modular acoustic baffle fixture to be attached to and suspended from an overhead structure;
- and
- at least one acoustic panel having an inward facing surface and an outward facing surface and further including a second fastener element positioned on the inward facing surface of the at least one acoustic panel, which second fastener element is configured for alignment with said at least one first fastener element in said at least one internal panel brace;
- whereby the at least one first fastener element in said internal panel brace cooperates with said aligned second fastener element to secure the at least one acoustic panel between a first side of both of the upper and lower linear support structures to thereby form at least one side of the modular acoustic baffle fixture, which at least one side is configured to acoustically absorb sound directed to the void between said upper and lower linear support structures.
A modular sound absorbing fixture comprising:
- at least one linear support structure;
- one or more acoustic panels attachable to the at least one linear support structure;
- at least one support bracket configured to attach the one or more acoustic panels to the at least one linear support structure;
- wherein the one or more acoustic panels are configured to telescopically engage the at least one linear support structure.
A modular sound absorbing fixture comprising:
- at least one linear support structure;
- a plurality of acoustic panels configured to telescopically engage the at least one linear support structure, whereby the plurality of acoustic panels are suspended from said at least one support structure;
- and
- at least one cable gripper connecting at least one suspension member to the at least one linear support structure, wherein the suspension member is a cable support member.
