Abstract
The present invention relates to a wood/polymer/metal strip ceiling system comprising a sheet and a plurality of elongate wood/polymer/metal strips. A part of the side face of an individual wood/polymer/metal strip is sized and configured to fit and fasten into an individual longitudinal groove in the sheet surface of the sheet.
Description
Background of the invention
When designing houses, whether it is a special designed or a standard house, the architect often chooses a ceiling of plaster or wood profiles. Wood strip ceilings are beautiful and very architectural. Despite this, they are not used to a large degree. This is primarily because it is a solution, which is quite difficult to mount, and thus quite costly in terms of labor. US4890433 discloses a tile mounting plate capable of exhibiting strength sufficient to safely and positively hold tile blocks thereon and preventing leakage of water. The tile mounting plate is formed thereon with a plurality of first laterally extending projection and second laterally extending projection. The first projections are arranged so as to be vertically parallel to one another at intervals corresponding to vertical intervals between tile blocks and each formed into dimensions sufficient to cause it to be inserted in a dovetaile groove of the tile block. The second projections each are arranged below each of the first projections so as to form a tile support mechanism in cooperation with the first projection. The projections are formed by forming. A tiled wall structure employing the tile mounting plate is also disclosed.
It is therefore desirable to provide an easy-to-mount ceiling system for wood strip ceilings.
Summary of the invention
The inventor has found that strip ceiling systems where the elongate strips are made of other materials than wood will also result in a beautiful ceiling. A first aspect relates to a strip ceiling system, the system comprising: - a sheet having opposed first and second sheet surface sides, and at least three sheet side edges; and - a plurality of elongate strips having a side face, and first and second spaced ends; wherein a plurality of parallel longitudinal grooves are formed in the first sheet surface side of the sheet; wherein the second sheet surface side of the sheet is configured for facing an existing ceiling of a room; wherein a part of the side face of an individual strip is sized and configured to fit and fasten into an individual longitudinal groove in the first sheet surface side of the sheet; wherein one or more spring clips are positioned within each longitudinal groove, the spring clip being sized and configured for receiving a part of the side face of an individual strip; wherein the elongate strips are made from wood, polymer, or metal; wherein a part of the side face of an individual strip is sized and configured for releasable fastening into an individual spring clip positioned within a longitudinal groove.
One or more spring clips are positioned within each longitudinal groove, the spring clip being sized and configured for receiving a part of the side face of an individual strip. The spring clips are thereby concealed within the longitudinal groove.
The term “sheet” as used in this application means a body whose thickness is only small in relation to its length and width. The term “sheet surface” is meant as the two outer faces of the sheet that are perpendicular to the direction of the sheet thickness. The term “sheet side edge” is meant as the remaining faces of the sheet. Preferably, the sheet side edges (three or more, depending on the form) are parallel to the direction of the sheet thickness.
The principles behind such a system is to plate an existing ceiling of a room with one or more sheets, preferably foam sheets or sheets made from a cement-bonded wood wool. Subsequently, strips are fastened into the longitudinal grooves, by the aid of spring clips. Thereby, the overall appearance of the strip ceiling is not disturbed by visible screw heads from screws used to fasten the strips to the existing ceiling of a room. Furthermore, the use of a sheet according to the present invention obviates the need to paint or plaster the existing ceiling before fastening a strip ceiling.
Preferably, the system comprises a plurality of sheets for easier handling and mounting.
The individual sheet has opposed first and second surface sides as evident from normal plates or sheets.
The individual elongate strip has first and second spaced ends, spaced lengthwise of the elongate strip. The remaining face of the strip is the side face.
Preferably, the elongate strip is an elongate wood strip.
In one or more embodiments, an individual strip is sized and configured for releasable fastening into an individual spring clip positioned within a longitudinal groove.
Preferably, the sheets have four sheet side edges such that the sheet is squared for easier mounting and assembling. However, the sheets may e.g. also be of triangular or pentagonal form, thereby having three or five sheet side edges respectively. A part of the side face of an individual strip is sized and configured for releasable fastening into an individual longitudinal groove and the spring clips positioned therein, in the first sheet surface side of the sheet. This may be an advantage, if a strip needs replacement or to be cleaned or painted. This function is inherent for embodiments, where the sheet material is compressible and automatically retains its original shape. A “conformable, compressible” material is a material that readily deforms when subjected to an applied stress, but will tend to elastically recover when the stress is removed. In one or more embodiments, the sheet material is conformable, compressible.
In one or more embodiments, the system comprises a plurality of sheets; wherein the sheet side edges of the individual sheet are configured as a part of a joint for joining abutting sheets together. This is an advantage when mounting the ceiling system.
In one or more embodiments, the system comprises a plurality of sheets; wherein a sheet side edge of a first sheet comprises an elongate recess formed in and defined by the sheet material, and wherein a sheet side edge of a second sheet comprises a tongue formed in and defined by the foam sheet material; wherein the tongue engages in the elongate recess in the joined state.
In one or more embodiments, the individual longitudinal groove has a C-shaped transverse cross-section.
In one or more embodiments, the individual longitudinal groove has a transverse cross-section that is substantially circular.
In one or more embodiments, a part of the individual longitudinal groove wall is configured as a tongue.
In one or more embodiments, a part of the side face of an individual strip is configured as a protrusion comprising an elongate recess extending along the length of the strip; and wherein a part of the individual longitudinal groove wall is configured as a tongue; wherein the tongue engages in the elongate recess in the joined state.
In one or more embodiments, the sheet is made from a foam material, such as an open or closed cell material selected from the group consisting of melamine-resin foam, polyurethane foam, polystyrene foam, inorganic foam, silicone foam, and mixtures thereof.
In one or more embodiments, the sheet is made from a cement-bonded wood wool, such as Troldtekt®.
In one or more embodiments, the system further comprises fastening means for attaching the sheet to an existing ceiling of a room.
It should be noted that embodiments and features described in the context of one of the aspects of the present invention also apply to the other aspects of the invention.
