Abstract

A ceiling system including a support grid and a panel assembly. The panel assembly includes backslats that are arranged parallel to one another, panels that are coupled to the backslats, and mounting assemblies for mounting the panel assembly to the support grid. The mounting assemblies include a mounting bracket and a torsion spring. A first pair of the mounting assemblies is coupled to a first one of the backslats and a second pair of the mounting assemblies is coupled to a second one of the backslats. The panel assembly may be mounted to the support grid via the torsion springs of the first pair of the mounting assemblies engaging a first one of the first grid beams of the support grid and the torsion springs of the second pair of the mounting assemblies engaging a second one of the first grid beams of the support grid
