Abstract
A free form ceiling panel for suspended ceiling systems that creates the appearance of moguls. The free form ceiling panels fit into a suspended ceiling grid. The free form ceiling is a grid system made up of curving tee members and preformed curved panels. The grid members curve in predefined radii into which formed panels are placed. The frame is formed from individual curved grid members that meet at their respective ends to form intersections. The grid members are rigid preformed members that are curved so that when interconnected a curve is formed.
Claims12
A curved panel suspension ceiling system comprising:
- a plurality of curved grid members intersecting to form a grid, said grid adapted to be suspended from a building structure;
- a plurality of curved ceiling panels adapted to be connected to said grid;
- each of said curved ceiling panels including a body portion having four endpoints;
- four edges that are curved such that the actual length of said side edges between two of said endpoints is longer that the linear distance between said endpoints along said side edges:
- and
- said body portion of said curved ceiling panels curve upward and downward, deviating from a common plane in three dimensional axes.
A curved panel suspension ceiling system comprising:
- a plurality of grid members having a base portion, said plurality of grid members intersecting to form a grid, said grid adapted to be suspended from a building structure;
- a plurality of curved ceiling panels adapted to be connected to said grid and supported by said base portion of said plurality of grid members;
- each of said curved ceiling panels including a body portion having four endpoints;
- four edges that are curved such that the actual length of said side edges between two of said endpoints is longer that the linear distance between said endpoints alone said side edges;
- and
- said body portion of said curved ceiling panels curve upward and downward, deviating from a common plane in three dimensional axes.
A curved panel suspension ceiling system comprising:
- a plurality of curved grid members intersecting to form a grid, said grid adapted to be suspended from a building structure;
- a plurality of ceiling panels having a body portion curved in three dimensional axes, said ceiling panels adapted to be connected to said grid;
- said body portion of said ceiling panels curve upward and downward, deviating from a common plane.
