Ceiling baffle apparatus and ceiling baffle system for a dynamic acoustic ceiling and methods thereof
A dynamic acoustic ceiling baffle and a dynamic acoustic ceiling baffle system, that includes multiple shaped baffles that can be quickly and easily installed onto construction ceiling hangers without the need for additional tools, to provide an aesthetically pleasing image, such as an undulating image, along with a reduction in unwanted noise or room acoustics.
1. A dynamic acoustic ceiling baffle, comprising:
a ceiling baffle, said ceiling baffle having a top end;
at least one locking mechanism, said at least one locking mechanism being located on the top end of the ceiling baffle, said at least one locking mechanism configured to fit into a standard ceiling hanger, said standard ceiling hanger configured with a recessed portion and two J-shaped ends, said at least one locking mechanism comprising a double arrow design configured with an arrow recess, such that said ceiling baffle can be attached to said standard ceiling hanger using the at least one locking mechanism;
wherein, when the at least one locking mechanism is slid into a recessed portion of said standard ceiling hanger, said double arrow design compresses toward the arrow recess, allowing said at least one locking mechanism to fit past the J-shaped ends and into the recessed portion of said standard ceiling hanger, thereby allowing said double arrow design to rebound inside the recessed portion of the standard ceiling hanger,
wherein, once said ceiling baffle is attached to said standard ceiling hanger, the ceiling baffle will provide a reduction in unwanted noise or room acoustics.
2. The dynamic acoustic ceiling baffle of claim 1 , wherein said ceiling baffle comprises PET Felt material.
3. The dynamic acoustic ceiling baffle of claim 1 , wherein said ceiling baffle comprises three sheets of material.
4. The dynamic acoustic ceiling baffle of claim 3 , wherein a middle sheet of material is longer than an outside sheet of material.
5. The dynamic acoustic ceiling baffle of claim 1 , wherein said at least one locking mechanism comprises PET Felt material and is integral with the ceiling baffle.
6. The dynamic acoustic ceiling baffle of claim 5 , wherein said at least one locking mechanism is cut out of the ceiling baffle.
7. A method of generating a dynamic acoustic ceiling baffle, the steps comprising:
a) manufacturing at least one locking mechanism on a ceiling baffle, said ceiling baffle having a top end, said at least one locking mechanism configured to fit into a standard ceiling hanger configured with a recessed portion and two J-shaped ends, said at least one locking mechanism comprising a double arrow design configured with an arrow recess, said at least one locking mechanism being located on or near the top end of the ceiling baffle;
b) configuring said ceiling baffle such that said ceiling baffle can be attached to said standard ceiling hanger using the at least one locking mechanism, wherein, when the at least one locking mechanism is slid into a recessed portion of said standard ceiling hanger, said double arrow design compresses, allowing said at least one locking mechanism to fit past the J-shaped ends and into the recessed portion of said standard ceiling hanger, thereby allowing said double arrow design to rebound inside the recessed portion of the standard ceiling hanger for support purposes, wherein, once said ceiling baffle is attached to said standard ceiling hanger, the ceiling baffle will provide a reduction in unwanted noise or room acoustics.
8. The method of generating a dynamic acoustic ceiling baffle of claim 7 , wherein said ceiling baffle comprises PET Felt material.
9. The method of generating a dynamic acoustic ceiling baffle of claim 7 , wherein said ceiling baffle comprises three sheets of material.
10. The method of generating a dynamic acoustic ceiling baffle of claim 9 , wherein a middle sheet of material is longer than an outside sheet of material.
11. The method of generating a dynamic acoustic ceiling baffle of claim 7 , wherein said at least one locking mechanism comprises PET Felt material and is integral with the ceiling baffle.
12. The method of generating a dynamic acoustic ceiling baffle of claim 11 , wherein said at least one locking mechanism is cut out of the ceiling baffle.
