Abstract
An assembly for suspending ceiling panels, having a frame and suspension members for suspending the frame from a structure, the frame having intersection members and support members extending therebetween, each support member being for supporting a respective side of the ceiling panel, and wherein the ends of the support members are configured to engage with engageable portions provided circumferentially about each of the intersection members.
Claims17
An intersection member having engageable portions arranged about a periphery of a mounting member thereof,
- the mounting member being of tubular configuration and defining a body having a height extending in a longitudinal direction and having an interior surface, the interior surface being defined along the mounting member about each engageable portion,
- the engageable portions being apertures through a wall of the mounting member and being adapted to receive and engage with end protrusions of support members of a suspended ceiling,
- wherein the body has an apertured portion at an upper end thereof, which is integral with the body and defines an opening that is configured to allow a suspension member to be received therethrough,
- wherein the opening defines a central axis that extends in a direction that is perpendicular with respect to the longitudinal direction, and
- wherein the opening is completely bounded by the apertured portion of the body.
An intersection member having engageable portions arranged about a periphery of a mounting member thereof, the mounting member being of tubular configuration and the engageable portions being apertures through a wall of the mounting member and receiving and engaging with end protrusions of support members of a suspended ceiling, the intersection member being adapted such that, when so received, the end protrusions protrude through the engageable portions into an interior portion of the mounting member whereby respective ends of said support members locate proximal to one another therein, and whereby said support members extend outwardly therefrom away from the mounting member to provide support for ceiling panels.
