Abstract

A ceiling panel having a connection portion at one of end portions on both sides in a first direction of a panel body in a shape of a rectangular flat plate, the connection portion connecting with a connected portion of an adjacent ceiling panel. The connection portion is fixed to the end portion by a fastener, the fastener being fastened to an insertion part inserted into a layer of the panel body from a cut portion opening on a back face of the end portion so as to penetrate a securing part provided along the back face of the end portion.

Claims (39)

1. A ceiling panel having a connection portion at one of end portions on both sides in a first direction of a panel body in a shape of a rectangular flat plate, the connection portion connecting with a connected portion of an adjacent ceiling panel,

wherein the connection portion is fixed to the end portion by a fastener, the fastener being fastened to an insertion part inserted into a layer of the panel body from a cut portion opening on a back face of the end portion so as to penetrate a securing part provided along the back face of the end portion.

2. The ceiling panel according to claim 1 ,

wherein the connection portion is provided for a connection member having a base end side part constituting the securing part, and the cut portion is provided so as to extend in the first direction.

3. The ceiling panel according to claim 2 ,

wherein the insertion part is bent from one side portion of the base end side part in a second direction orthogonal to the first direction and is integrally provided for the connection member.

4. The ceiling panel according to claim 2 ,

wherein the base end side part has an extension portion extending inward in the first direction further than the insertion part.

5. The ceiling panel according to claim 1 ,

6. The ceiling panel according to claim 1 ,

wherein the cut portion is provided at two positions spaced in parallel, the insertion part is inserted into one cut portion and a tip end portion in an insertion direction of the insertion part is exposed on a back face side of the panel body through the other cut portion.

7. The ceiling panel according to claim 1 , wherein the panel body is constructed such that a reinforcement layer is piled upon a back face side of a base member of a resin foam system or a fiber system, and the cut portion is formed by penetrating the reinforcement layer.

8. The ceiling panel according to claim 3 ,

wherein the base end side part has an extension portion extending inward in the first direction further than the insertion part.

9. The ceiling panel according to claim 2 ,

wherein the cut portion is provided at two positions spaced in parallel, the insertion part is inserted into one cut portion and a tip end portion in an insertion direction of the insertion part is exposed on a back face side of the panel body through the other cut portion.

10. The ceiling panel according to claim 3 ,

wherein the cut portion is provided at two positions spaced in parallel, the insertion part is inserted into one cut portion and a tip end portion in an insertion direction of the insertion part is exposed on a back face side of the panel body through the other cut portion.
