Abstract
An electrified ceiling framework system having a plurality of grid elements forming a grid network arranged in a substantially planar arrangement. A conductive material is disposed on a surface of at least one of the plurality of grid elements. The conductive material is electrically connected to a low voltage power source and has a contact surface connectable to a low voltage device.
Claims10
An electrified ceiling framework system mounted in a room space, the system providing a barrier between a living space and a space for infrastructure systems, the system comprising:
- a plurality of grid elements arranged in a substantially horizontal plane and forming a grid network, at least one of the grid elements having a vertically extending web portion which is positioned in the space for infrastructure systems;
- first and second conductors are disposed contiguously on opposing sides of the vertically extending web portion;
- and
- wherein the first and second conductors each have an outer contact surface, the outer contact surfaces face away from one another and are each in contact with a low voltage power source which is positioned in the infrastructure systems space, the low voltage power source bringing electricity to the first and second conductors;
- and
- wherein the outer contact surfaces are in contact with an electrical device whereby the electricity is transferred from the first and second conductors to the electrical device.
