US 2022/0186494 A1 · OVERHEAD GRID ASSEMBLY, BRACKET MEMBER THEREOF, AND CEILING SYSTEM INCLUDING THE SAME

Abstract

An overhead grid assembly for a suspended ceiling system and a bracket member thereof. The overhead grid assembly may include first and second support members having first and second longitudinal axes that are arranged in an intersecting manner to form a grid. The bracket member may include a first part having a first channel and a second part having a second channel. The bracket member is arranged to maintain the first and second support members in a desirable orientation relative to each other. Thus, a portion of the first support member may nest within the first channel and a portion of the second support member may nest within the second channel. The first and second parts of the bracket assembly may be rotatable relative to one another to ensure that the bracket assembly can be coupled to the first and second support members regardless of their relative orientation.

Dependent claims

An overhead grid assembly for a suspended ceiling system, the overhead grid assembly comprising:

a first support member comprising a first longitudinal axis;
a second support member comprising a second longitudinal axis;
a bracket member comprising a first part comprising a first channel and a second part comprising a second channel, wherein the bracket member is positioned so that a portion of the first support member nests within the first channel and a portion of the second support member nests within the second channel;
and
wherein the first and second parts of the bracket member are rotatable relative to one another to adjust an angle measured between the first and second longitudinal axes of the first and second support members.

An overhead grid assembly for a suspended ceiling system, the overhead grid assembly comprising:

a plurality of first support members arranged in a parallel configuration, each of the first support members comprising a first longitudinal axis;
a plurality of second support members arranged in a parallel configuration, each of the second support members comprising a second longitudinal axis, the first and second support members arranged so that the first longitudinal axes of each of the first support members is oriented at a first angle relative to the second longitudinal axes of each of the second support members;
a plurality of bracket members, each of the bracket members comprising a first channel comprising a first channel axis and a second channel comprising a second channel axis, wherein a portion of one of the first support members nests within the first channel and a portion of one of the second support members nests within the second channel;
and
wherein each of the bracket members is adjustable to modify a second angle measured between the first and second channel axes to match the second angle to the first angle.
