Description

in DK 171791 B1

The invention relates to a method for mounting self-supporting ceiling panels.

There are several different types of ceiling tiles on the market. These are usually mounted against downwardly extending brackets, which in turn are fixed in the building structure above.

Such mounting presents many problems if the space above the 10 ceiling is needed for installations of various kinds, such as water, drainage, and electricity lines. The stays will then be in the way of these wires.

Therefore, there is a great need to be able to mount a ceiling 15 self-supporting without such a rod.

The present invention has surprisingly been able to satisfy this need and provided a method for mounting self-supporting ceiling panels in vehicles or in buildings.

In the method according to the invention, supporting profiles are provided with an upwardly extending longitudinal flange along the top of two opposing walls. A plurality of runners including a lower horizontal protruding tongue, a rearwardly facing downward flange and optionally an upper horizontal protruding tongue are suspended, preferably opposite one another, in the flanges of the carrier profiles by the downward flanges of the runners. The runners can hereby be displaced along the support profiles.

When mounting the plates, a first plate is placed on the lower tongues of a first group of runners. Then the next plate is placed on the tongues of the next group of runners and 2 DK 171791 B1 is shot together with the previous plate. Additional panels are mounted in the same way until the entire ceiling is mounted.

In the method according to the invention, the ceiling panels 5 can be mounted completely from the underside without having to use the space over the upper side of the ceiling, so that during the installation work the ceiling panels can be operated to their final position.

10 The runners are securely fastened to the wall by means of screws, clamps or the like. This is especially true when mounting the ceiling panels in vessels.

The plates are preferably provided with recesses at the edges of the long sides, designed to interconnect the plates against each other. The plates are thereby stiffened and fixed to each other. The long sides of the plates can be connected in different ways. You can insert a support list into the recesses.

20

If the recesses of the plates are designed as groove and spring or the like, the plates can be fixed to each other without the use of moldings.

25 In some cases, the panels are provided with reinforcement profiles on the back.

In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the carrier profiles have a non-shaped cross section and are provided with an upwardly extending longitudinal flange along each long side. The support profiles are passed down over the upper edge of the walls. The same support profile can then be used in both rooms on each side of the wall.

3 DK 171791 B1

If runners lacking an upper horizontal protrusion tongue are used, it is desirable that the plates be secured against vertical displacement by means of stop gauges which are first mounted on the carrier profiles and include a horizontal protrusion tongue.

To facilitate the mounting of the end surface, it is advantageous to place a support profile along the top of at least one of the two remaining walls. Stop gaze is then attached to the 10 carrier profile. In this case, the upward flange on the carrier profile is suitably provided with an opening.

The end plate is lifted in and coupled to the last inner plate, whereby runners are inserted through the opening in the flange 15 on the support profile and are guided laterally with the two flanges in engagement with each other. The longitudinal outer edge of the plate is thereby fixed between the tongues of the runners and the tongues of the stop plates.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS The invention will be explained in more detail below with reference to the drawing, in which: Figure 1 is a sectional top view of a ceiling-mounted compartment mounted in accordance with the invention; , wherein the carrier profile shown in Figure 3 misses an up-directed flange of a portion of its length.

Figures 4 and 5 are a bottom perspective view showing cut portions of ceiling panels during the assembly according to the invention.

Figure 6 is a side view of a cut-up portion of an upper wall with a mounted profile and runner according to Figure 2, and Figure 5 is a side view of a cut-up part of an upper part of a wall with a mounted profile and a runner according to Figure 3. , with a combined screen and support strip as well as the end of a mounted plate are also shown in Figures 6 and 7.

In mounting the ceiling shown in Figure 1, ceiling plates 1,2 having a width B and a length S. are used. The two opposite side walls are designated 3 and the short walls with 4.

15 When mounting the ceiling plates 1,2, first support profiles 5 are first installed along the upper part of the two side walls 3. The profiles 5 can be formed in different ways. However, they always have an upward, longitudinal flange 17. In a preferred embodiment, the profiles 5 have a un-shaped cross-section and are provided with an upward longitudinal flange 17 along each side.

Several runners 6 (Figures 2 and 6) or 7 (Figures 3 and 7) with a lower, horizontally extending tongue 10, a rearwardly positioned, 25 downward flange 11 and optionally an upper horizontal extending tongue 12 (Figures 2 and 6) are suspended. preferably facing each other in the flanges 17 of the carrier profiles 5 by means of the flanges 11. The runners can be displaced along the profiles 5.

For example, apply two runners 6.7 for each short side of a plate (Figures 4 and 5). However, nothing prevents another number from being used.

The order of mounting of the plates 1,2 may vary.

In a suitable alternative, one begins with an end plate 2 (Figure 1) at one short wall 4. After hanging the runners 6 up to the first plate 2, the runners are fastened securely to the wall 3 by means of screws, springs, clamps or the like. Thereafter, the first plate is lifted and inserted from the side between the horizontally extending tongues 10 and 12 of the runners 6.

10 If alternate runners 7 (Figure 3) are used instead, they are suitably combined with stop gauges 9, which are mounted on the support profiles 5. The blades 9 are provided with a horizontal protruding tongue 18. The plates are inserted between tongues 10 and 18 .

The next group of runners 6.7 is attached to the wall, after which an inner plate 1 is lifted up and placed between the tongues 10 and 12 and 10 and 18 respectively.

20 The other inner panels are mounted in the same way. Finally, you reach end plate 2 at the second short wall. It is a little more difficult to install than the other plates, since you cannot lift it from the side if you have mounted runners 6.7 completely in the corner.

25

The last plate 2 can be assembled in many different ways. You can attach a carrier profile 5 (Figure 3) along the top of the last short wall. Conveniently, the carrier profile 5 misses a flange 17 along a portion 8 of its length (Figure 3).

Stop plate 9 is mounted on the wall 4. The last plate 2 can now be lifted up and connected to the last mounted inner plate 1. Runners 7 are then inserted into the flange 17 on the carrier 6 through the opening 8 contained in the flange 17. The runners 17 can be moved laterally in both directions, whereby the plate 2 is stuck between the tongues 10 and 18 (Figure 3).

The plates 1,2 are preferably formed with recesses 13 at the edges of the long sides (Figures 4 and 5) to provide stiffening and fixation of the plates to each other. In these recesses 13, support strips 14 can be inserted during assembly.

10

In setting up the last plate 2 according to the above one can use bricks 15 (Figure 7) inserted in the runners 7 between this and the long side of the plate. In this way, the last plate 2 is pressed inwards towards the room and is fixed in place 15, despite being made a little too narrow for mounting.

A combined support and screen strip 16 (Figures 6 and 7) can be used with the runners 6 and 7 and mounted when all plates 1,2 are installed. The molding 16 is suitably constructed with a planar elongated portion 19 which is inserted between the tongues 10 and the underside of the plates 1 and 2. It is, of course, possible to use conventional screen moldings which are optionally seamed or screwed in place.

25

The invention is not limited to the embodiments shown, since these can be modified in various ways within the scope of the invention. Among other things. For example, the appearance of both the carrier profiles and the runners can be changed in relation to the illustrated examples.
