Abstract
A compact ceiling isolation hanger for suspending and isolating a ceiling from the ceiling structure comprises two vibration isolators, two vibration isolator mounting means, a channel bracket having a channel carrier and opposing flanges, and a ceiling bracket mounted to the ceiling structure, wherein the vibration isolator mounting means mount the vibration isolators and the channel bracket to the ceiling bracket such that the vibration isolator mounting means pass through the channel bracket flanges, and wherein the ceiling bracket is adapted such that the vibration isolator mounting means do not contact the ceiling structure.
Claims23
A compact ceiling isolation hanger for suspending and isolating a floating ceiling from a ceiling structure comprising:
- two vibration isolators;
- two vibration isolator mounting means;
- a channel bracket having a channel carrier, and opposing flanges, wherein said channel bracket is supported by said vibration isolators;
- a ceiling bracket mounted to the ceiling structure, wherein said vibration isolator mounting means mount said vibration isolators to said ceiling bracket such that said vibration isolator mounting means pass through said channel bracket flanges, and wherein said ceiling bracket is adapted such that said vibration isolator mounting means do not contact the ceiling structure.
A method for suspending and isolating a floating ceiling from a ceiling structure comprising:
- supporting a channel bracket having a channel portion and two opposing flanges, with two vibration isolators;
- mounting said vibration isolators to a ceiling bracket with a mounting means;
- such that said mounting means passes though said channelbracket flanges
- mounting said ceiling bracket to the ceiling structure, wherein said ceiling bracket is adapted such that said mounting means do not contact the ceiling structure;
- sliding a cold rolled channel into said channel portion of said channel bracket;
- and,
- attaching the floating ceiling to said cold rolled channel.
