A ceiling louver assembly is constructed from a plurality of ceiling units each having four ceiling tiles with each ceiling tile having identical projecting side tabs disposed in coplanar abutting relation with side tabs of adjacent tiles. A metal strap is disposed in overlying relation with respect to the coplanar abutting side tabs of adjacent tiles and secured thereto by means of screws in blind bores. Each ceiling tile is provided with a projecting corner tab at each corner and a hanger is disposed in engagement with the four projecting corner tabs of four adjacent units. The hanger is comprised of a base plate underlying the corner tabs with upstanding flanges disposed between adjacent units to prevent lateral movement of the corner tabs relative to each other. A vertically extending eye bolt is secured to the base plate for suspending the hanger from a support structure and a flexible gasket is secured about the eye bolt between the eye thereof and the corner tabs to prevent vertical movement of the corner tabs relative to the flanges.
A ceiling louver assembly comprised of four substantially square ceiling louver means disposed adjacent to each other in a common plane, each ceiling louver means having a projecting corner tab disposed adjacent each other and hanger means comprised of an imperforate support plate underlying said four corner tabs and having upwardly extending flanges between each two adjacent ceiling louver means in engagement with said corner tabs thereof, a vertically extending hanger member having a head portion and a shank portion secured to said support plate and extending upwardly between said corner tabs and gasket means detachably connected to said shank portions between said head portion and said corner tabs to prevent vertical movement of said ceiling louver means relative to said hanger means.
A ceiling louver assembly comprising four ceiling tiles disposed in side by side coplanar relation, each ceiling tile having a plurality of identical spaced apart projecting side tabs disposed in adjacent coplanar relationship with corresponding projecting side tabs on adjacent ceiling tiles, strap means overlying adjacent side tabs of adjacent ceiling tiles and screw means connecting said strap means to said tabs.
