Suspension and sound-insulation system

Abstract

The suspension and sound-insulation system is intended to be used in houses or buildings. In this system, a finishing panel is attached to a rigid structure surface by a plurality of rubber cylinders each provided with an open cavity extending axially. Each cylinder is attached to the structure surface by a suspension rod provided with opposite ends, which is inserted into the cavity of the cylinder and whose opposite ends are folded so as to extend the structure surface and be fixed thereto. The finishing panel is attached to suspension bars that are attached to the cylinders by other suspension rods passing through the cavities of the cylinders. The cavities of the rubber cylinders are axially offset and the cylinders are oriented during their installation in such a manner that their cavities are closer to the structure surface and to the suspension bars. The other suspension rods are also shaped and sized to receive and support one of the suspension bars. Each of these other suspension rods is U-shaped and comprises a central portion and two opposite side portions that are perpendicular to the central portion and each provided with a hole. A pin is shaped and sized to be inserted into the holes made in the side portions of each other suspension rod while passing through the cavity of one of the cylinders. This system has the advantage of reducing the risk of contact between, on the one hand, the suspension rods used to attach the cylinders to the structure surface and, on the other hand, the other suspension rods used to attach the suspension bars to the cylinders. This system has also the advantage of giving a better sound-insulation by providing a larger thickness of rubber between the suspension bars and their suspension rods.
