Abstract

An acoustic curved ceiling baffle and system that incorporates sidewalls with cuts or kerfs, top and bottom spines and ribs to properly configure the curves in the acoustic baffle, and that can be quickly and easily installed onto ceilings using integrated locks, cables or magnets, to produce a curved baffle system, and to provide an aesthetically pleasing image, along with a reduction in unwanted noise and/or room acoustics.

Claims (18)

1. A dynamic acoustic curved ceiling baffle, comprising:

a first sidewall, said first sidewall comprising at least one first sidewall kerf, said at least one first sidewall kerf facilitating the curvature of said first sidewall;

a second sidewall, said second sidewall comprising at least one second sidewall kerf, said at least one second sidewall kerf facilitating the curvature of said second sidewall;

a top spine, said top spine comprising at least one top spine strut, said at least one top spine strut used in conjunction with said top spine to hold the first sidewall and second sidewall in a curved position;

a bottom spine, said bottom spine comprising at least one bottom spine strut, said at least one bottom spine strut used in conjunction with said bottom spine to hold the first sidewall and second sidewall in said curved position;

wherein said first sidewall, said second sidewall and said top spine combine to create an air gap; and

a first sidewall cover, said first sidewall cover located over one side of said first sidewall to hide the at least one first sidewall kerf;

at least one installation device being located on the top end of the dynamic acoustic curved ceiling baffle, said at least one installation device being integral with the dynamic acoustic curved ceiling baffle for attachment to a ceiling;

wherein, said first sidewall, said second sidewall, said top spine, and said at least one top spine strut all comprise PET Felt material.

2. The dynamic acoustic curved ceiling baffle of claim 1 , wherein said first sidewall, second sidewall, said top spine, said at least one top spine strut, said bottom spine and said at least one bottom spine strut comprise PET Felt material, all of the foregoing having a thickness of 9 millimeters.

3. The dynamic acoustic curved ceiling baffle of claim 1 , further comprising a second sidewall cover, said second sidewall cover located over one side of said second sidewall to hide the at least one second sidewall kerf.

4. The dynamic acoustic curved ceiling baffle of claim 3 , wherein said first sidewall cover and said second sidewall cover comprise PET Felt material.

5. The dynamic acoustic curved ceiling baffle of claim 4 , wherein said first sidewall cover and said second sidewall cover comprise PET Felt material, all of the foregoing having a thickness of 3 millimeters.

6. The dynamic acoustic curved ceiling baffle of claim 4 , wherein said at least one installation device comprises a double arrow design.

7. The dynamic acoustic curved ceiling baffle of claim 1 , wherein said at least one installation device comprises PET Felt material.

8. The dynamic acoustic curved ceiling baffle of claim 1 , wherein said at least one installation device comprises at least one magnet.

9. The dynamic acoustic curved ceiling baffle of claim 1 , wherein said at least one installation device comprises at least one cable gripper.

10. The dynamic acoustic curved ceiling baffle of claim 1 , wherein said at least one installation device comprises at least one panel clip.
