Abstract
A dynamic acoustic locking ceiling baffle and a dynamic acoustic locking ceiling system, that includes a single piece of material folded into acoustic locking ceiling baffles, using locking pieces and locking mechanisms, to quickly and easily install the acoustic locking ceiling baffle onto construction ceiling hangers to provide an aesthetically pleasing image, along with a reduction in unwanted noise or room acoustics.
Claims18
A ceiling baffle assembly comprising:
- a single piece of material comprising score lines, the single piece of material being alterable from a flat state to a folded state by folding the single piece of material at the score lines, wherein in the folded state the single piece of material forms a ceiling baffle comprising a first outer sidewall, a second outer sidewall, a bottom wall extending between the first and second outer sidewalls, and a top wall extending between the first and second outer sidewalls, the top wall comprising one or more insert locations;
- at least one locking piece comprising a top portion, a first side portion extending downwardly from the top portion, and a second side portion extending downwardly from the top portion in a spaced apart manner from the first side portion, wherein the at least one locking piece is non-integral with the single piece of material;
- and
- wherein the at least one locking piece is configured to be inserted into the top wall of the ceiling baffle at one of the one or more insert locations to hold the single piece of material together in the folded state, and wherein upon removal of the at least one locking piece the single piece of material is configured to be altered from the folded state back to the flat state.
1 more element
A ceiling baffle assembly comprising:
- a ceiling baffle that is elongated along a longitudinal axis from a first end to a second end, the ceiling baffle comprising a first sidewall, a second sidewall that is spaced apart from the first sidewall, a bottom wall extending between the first and second sidewalls, and a top wall extending between the first and second sidewalls, the top wall comprising a plurality of openings that are spaced apart from one another in a direction of the longitudinal axis;
- and
- a plurality of locking pieces, each of the locking pieces configured to be inserted into one of the plurality of openings in the top wall of the ceiling baffle to hold the first and second sidewalls in position and maintain a shape of the ceiling baffle.
