Ceiling system
Described herein is a ceiling system that includes a spring clip for mounting ceiling panels equipped with torsion springs to a ceiling support grid, the clip comprising: a body including a mounting portion defining a downwardly open receptacle configured for attachment to a ceiling grid support member; a pair of lateral flanges extending outwards from the mounting portion, at least one of the flanges including a slot configured to engage a torsion spring; a pair locking tabs disposed on the spring clip, the locking tabs configured to engage opposing sides of the grid support member.
1. A ceiling panel assembly comprising:
a ceiling panel comprising
a first major surface opposite a second major surface; and
at least one mounting angle extending upward from the second major surface, the mounting angle comprising a first lip portion extending from a first vertical portion, the first lip portion comprising a first horizontal portion and a second vertical portion extending downward from the first horizontal portion;
a mounting bracket comprising
a base plate having an upper surface opposite a lower surface, the base plate comprising a second lip portion; and
a hook member extending upward from the upper surface of the base plate; and
wherein base plate is coupled to the first lip portion, and the first lip portion and the second lip portion are complimentary in shape.
2. The ceiling panel assembly of claim 1 , wherein the lower surface of the base plate mates with the first lip portion of the mounting angle.
3. The ceiling panel assembly of claim 1 , wherein the second vertical portion terminates at a first distal end.
4. The ceiling panel assembly of claim 3 , wherein the second lip portion comprises a third vertical portion extending downward from the lower surface of the base plate.
5. The ceiling panel assembly of claim 4 , wherein the third vertical portion terminates at a second distal end.
6. The ceiling panel assembly of claim 5 , wherein the first distal and is located below the second distal end.
7. The ceiling panel assembly of claim 1 , further comprising a torsion spring having a coil and two upwardly projecting arms, whereby the hook member extend through a central opening defined by the coil.
8. The ceiling panel assembly of claim 1 , wherein the second lip portion comprises a first section and a second section that are horizontally separated by a gap.
9. The ceiling panel assembly of claim 8 , wherein the hook member and the gap overlap in the horizontal direction.
10. A ceiling panel assembly comprising:
a ceiling panel comprising
a first major surface opposite a second major surface; and
at least one mounting angle extending upward from the second major surface, the mounting angle comprising a first lip portion extending from a first vertical portion, the first lip portion comprising a first horizontal portion extending horizontally from the first vertical portion and a second vertical portion extending downward from the first horizontal portion, the second vertical portion terminating at a first distal end;
a mounting bracket comprising
a base plate having an upper surface opposite a lower surface, the base plate comprising a second lip portion, the second lip portion comprising a third vertical portion that extends downward from the lower surface of the base plate, the third vertical portion terminating at a second distal end; and
a hook member extending upward from the upper surface of the base plate; and
wherein the first distal end is vertically offset from the second major surface of the ceiling panel by a first distance and the second distal end is vertically offset from the second major surface of the ceiling panel by a second distance, wherein the second distance is greater than the first distance.
11. The ceiling panel assembly of claim 10 , wherein the lower surface of the base plate mates with the first lip portion of the mounting angle.
12. The ceiling panel assembly of claim 10 , further comprising a torsion spring having a coil and two upwardly projecting arms, whereby the hook member extend through a central opening defined by the coil.
13. The ceiling panel assembly of claim 10 , wherein the second lip portion comprises a first section and a second section that are horizontally separated by a gap.
14. The ceiling panel assembly of claim 13 , wherein the hook member and the gap overlap in the horizontal direction.
15. A ceiling panel assembly comprising:
a ceiling panel comprising
a first major surface opposite a second major surface; and
at least one mounting angle extending upward from the second major surface, the mounting angle comprising a first lip portion extending from a first vertical portion, the first lip portion comprising a first horizontal portion and a second vertical portion extending downward from the first horizontal portion;
a mounting bracket comprising
a base plate having an upper surface opposite a lower surface, the base plate comprising a second lip portion; and
a hook member extending upward from the upper surface of the base plate; and
wherein the base plate comprises at least one through-hole extending continuously from the upper surface to the lower surface of the base plate.
16. The ceiling panel assembly of claim 15 , further comprising at least one fastener that couples the mounting bracket to the ceiling panel.
17. The ceiling panel assembly of claim 16 , wherein one of the at least one fastener extends through one of the at least one of the through-holes present on the mounting bracket.
18. The ceiling panel assembly of claim 15 , further comprising a torsion spring having a coil and two upwardly projecting arms, whereby the hook member extend through a central opening defined by the coil.
19. The ceiling panel assembly of claim 15 , wherein the second lip portion comprises a first section and a second section that are horizontally separated by a gap.
20. The ceiling panel assembly of claim 19 , wherein the hook member and the gap overlap in the horizontal direction.
