Description
Acoustic Damping Panel System The present invention relates to an acoustic damping panel system. in particular but not necessarily exclusively for use as ceiling or wall tiles or panels. The invention further relates to a panel-retaining braclcet for use as part of such a system, and to a method of forming a more uniform acoustic-damped surface.
To provide an acoustically damped surface in a building, such as ceiling or walls, one typical method of assembly involves the provision of acoustic damping panels which can he mounted to a framework so as to space (he panels neatly. This has (lie effect of producing a tiled effect, with visible spacers between adjacent acoustic damping panels where a mounting means can be provided.
Unfortunately, acoustic damping panels are not particularly appealing aesthetically, and therefore the overall appearance of the finished ceiling, wall or floor surface is generally sparse, minimalist or ugly. Although (he acoustic damping panel could feasibly be improved from a visual perspective, this might have negative consequences for the acoustic damping characteristics of the system. Furthermore, aesthetic improvements to the acoustic damping panel does not affect the visibility of the underlying framework.
The present invention seeks to obviate or limit the above-mentioned problems by providing an acoustic damping panel system which provides a more uniform surface once installed.
According to a first aspect of the invention, there is provided an acoustic damping panel system comprising: an acoustic damping panel; a flexible overlay; and a plurality of brackets for mounting the acoustic damping panel, each of the plurality of brackets having a panel retainer engagable with the acoustic damping panel and an overlay retainer which is spaced from the panel retainer and which is engagable with the flexible overlay, the overlay retainer of each of the plurality of brackets being positioned such that the flexible overlay at least in part covers a user-facing surface of acoustic damping panel and the plurality of brackets.
By fixing the flexible overlay to a hidden side of the brackets to which the acoustic damping panel is mounted, die flexible oveflay can he pulled tightly so as to present a visually appealing user-visible surface which has a uniform aspect. This allows an installer to install the finished p2mels, inclusive of the brackets, as a single unit into, for instance, a ceiling or wall. This advantageously simplifies the installation process of the panel. whilst also potentially ehminating the need to provide an interstitial framework between adjacent tiles which must be visible to a user.
Preferably, each of the plurality of brackets may comprise a main bracket body and a retaining element releasably engagable with the main bracket body, the retaining element at kast in part forming the overlay retainer. The retaining element of each of the plurality of brackets may be a formed as a jawed clamp. Furthermore, the retaining clement of each of the plurality of brackets may be wedgingly engagabic with the main bracket body.
This construction of bracket allows for the flexible overlay to be readily clamped in place. creating a tauter and therefore more uniform appearance to the user-visiNe surface of the panel. The flexible overlay also acts as a secondary buffer, preventing accidental ejection of the panel from the brackets once colTeetly installed.
In a preferred embodiment, the panel retainer of each of the plurality of brackets may be formed as a slot sized to receive an edge of the acoustic damping panel, in which case the slot may include a plurality of wedging engagement elements engagable with the acoustic damping panel.
Slotting the brackets onto the edges of the acoustic damping panel advantageously simplifies the installation of the brackets onto the panel, whilst also ensuring that the other components to be installed are naturally aligned with the panel.
Each of the plurality of brackets may include a mounting connection means to enable mounting of each of the plurality of brackets to a mounting surface. Said mounting connection means may be formed as an anchor-receiving element for receiving an anchor of a mounting fastener. The system may further comprise at least one structural frame member engagable with at least two of the plurality of brackets. Each of the plurality of brackets may include a frame-member receiving element for receiving and engaging with a said at least one structural frame member.
Rigidifying and securing the brackets in position with simp'e means beneficially allows for a plurality of finished panels or tiles to be readily installed and aligned correctly relative to one another.
Preferably, a direction of retention of the panel retaiiier may be different to a direction of retention of the oveflay retainer. The direction of retention of the panel retainer may optionally he perpendicular to the direction of retention of the overlay retainer. The overlay retainer of each of the plurality of brackets may include a sloped wall portion relative to a base of the bracket. Said sloped wall portion of each of the plurality of brackets may be at 45 degrees to the base of the bracket and/or at 45 degrees to an opening of the panel retainer. The flexible overlay may he held taut against the base of each of the plurality of brackets by the overlay retainer of each said bracket.
Optionally, the acoustic damping panes may be formed from a fibreglass material, and/or the flexible overlay may be formed from a fabric material. In a preferred scenario, the acoustic damping panel system may be incorporated as part of any one of a ceiling, wall or floor of a building.
The exact form of the system, and specifically the overlay retainer, may advantageously improve tile retaining force and/or application of stress upon the flexible overlay so as to reduce the likelihood of damaging and/or accidental ejection of the flexible overlay.
In particular, the use of a fabric material for the flexible overlay improves the acoustic damping capability of the system whilst simultaneously permitting the improvement of the aesthetic appearance of the acoustic damping panel.
Preferahly, the p'urality of brackets may he complementarily shaped so as to he assemhlahle into a frame.
A structurally sound frame which surrounds the acoustic damping panel beneficially reduces the chance of damaging the system during installation, and also improving the ease with which the system can be installed as a unit.
According to a second aspect of the invention, there is provided a panel-retaining bracket lèr an acoustic damping panel system, (lie panel-retaining bracket comprising: a first retainer having a panel-receiving opening for receiving an acoustic damping panel; and a second retainer which is spaced apart from the first retainer and having clamping means for retaining a flexible material.
Preferably, the bracket may comprise a main bracket body and an overlay retainer releasably engagable with the main bracket body, the main bracket body including the first retainer, and the overlay retainer including the clamping means of the second retainer. The bracket. may further comprise a mounting connection means to enable mounting of the bracket to a mounting surface, andlor a frame-member receiving element for receiving and engaging with a rigidifying structural frame member.
According to a third aspect of the invention, there is provided a method of forming a more uniform acoustic-damped surface, the method comprising the steps of: a] providing an acoustic damping panel system in accordance with the first aspect of the invention: h] mounting the acoustic damping pand to the plurality of brackets; c] positioning the flexible overlay across the user-facing surface of the acoustic damping panel and across each of the plurality of brackets; d] securing the flexible overlay to each of the plurality of brackets on a side which is spaced from the user-facing surface of the acoustic damping panel to form a more uniform acoustic-damped panel: and e] mounting the more uniform acoustic-damped panel to a surface of a building.
According to a fourth aspect of the invention, there is provided a method of forming a more uniform acoustic-damped surface, the method comprising the steps of: a] mounting an acoustic damping panel to a plurality of brackets; bj positioning a flexible overlay across a user-facing surface of the acoustic damping pane' and across each of the plurality of brackets; c] securing the flexible overlay to each of the plurality of brackets on a side which is spaced from the user-facing surface of the acoustic damping panel to form a more uniform acoustic-damped panel; and dj mounting the more uniform acoustic-damped panel to a surface of a building.
The invention wifl now he more particularly described, by way of example only, with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which: Figure 1 shows a plan view of one embodiment of an acoustic damped panel system in accordance with the first aspect of the invention, as viewed from a user-lacing surface thereof; Figure 2 shows a cross-sectional view through the acoustic damped panel system of Figure 1, as taken through line A-A; Figure 3 shows an end-on view of a one embodiment of a panel-retaining bracket, in accordance with the second aspect of the invention; Figure 4 shows an end-on view of the panel-retaining bracket of Figure 3, the retaining element having been removed; and Figure 5 shows a perspective view of the panel-retaining bracket of Figure 4.
Referring firstly to Figures 1 and 2, there is illustrated globally at 10 an acoustic damping panel system for creating a uniform or substantially uniform surface for a building, in particular for internal ceiling, wall or floor panels.
The acoustic damping panel system 10 comprises an acoustic damping pand 12 which is mounted to a plurality of panel-retaining brackets 14, preferably around the edges of the acoustic damping panel 12 as a continuous frame. Over a user-facing surface 16 of the acoustic damping panel 12 is mounted a flexible overlay 18, which is secured in place on the brackets 14. The flexible overlay 18 therefore presents a uniform user-visible surface 20 of the acoustic panel system 10.
The acoustic damping panel 12 is formed as a preferably rectangular. and more preferably square, panel, and is typically formed so as to act as both acoustic and thermal insulation. The acoustic damping panel 12 may be formed, for example, from a fibreglass material bonded together with thermosetting resin. Such a panel is typically unappealing from an aesthetic perspective.
The flexible overlay 18 may preferably he formed from an aesthetically-pleasing fabric material, but may alternatively be formed from any suitably flexible matenal so as to provide the appearance of a continuous and/or uniform surface to the acoustic damping panel system 10. The flexible overlay 18 may therefore be sized so as to have a greater area than that of the user-lacing surface 16 of the acoustic damping panel 12.
The term uniform' is here and throughout intended to refer to the characteristic of the user-visible surface 20 of the acoustic damping panel system 10 to appear to be continuous across its entire surface, rather than to any particular markings or colouration of the flexible overlay 18, which may, of course, have an aesthetically-pleasing pattern thereon.
Each bracket 14 is formed so as to he capable of engaging with both the acoustic damping panel 12 and the flexible overlay 18 so as to achieve this end. The bracket 14 therefore has a panel retainer 22 and an overlay retainer 24. Preferably, the bracket 14 will be formed as per the depictions in Figures 3 to 5.
Said bracket 14 has a main bracket body 26 which has a, preferably integrally-formed, panel retainer 22. Preferably, the bracket body 26 will he formed from a lightweight metal, such as aluminium. In the depicted embodiment, the panel retainer 22 is formed as an elongate slot. 28 which is engagable with an edge of the acoustic damping panel 12.
A plurality of wedging engagement elements 30 may be provided so as to improve a wedging cngagcmcnt bctwccn the acoustic damping panel 12 and the slot 28, though it will be apparent that a looser fit may achieve the same result of retention of the acoustic damping panel 12. It will he appreciated that a number of different means of securing the acoustic damping panel 12 with respect to the brackets 14 may be achieved; fastening elements could, for instance be provided.
Spaced apart from the panel retainer 22 is an overlay retainer 24. For simplicity of manufacture, the overlay retainer 24 may be in part foirned as a retaining element or track 30 which is releasably engagable with the main bracket body 26: however, it will he apparent that the overlay retainer 24 could readily he provided so as to he fixedly engaged or integrally formed with the main bracket body 26.
The retaining element 30 as illustrated is formed having a base portion 32 which fits with and/or otherwise engages with a recess 34 of the main bracket body 26, with a pair of clamping jaws 36 extending from the base portion 32. The clamping jaws 36 are arranged to project upwardly from the base portion 32, which is parallel to a base 38 of the bracket 14. First and second clamping jaws may he provided as illustrated; one ol the clamping jaws may he mounted to a more flexible tang 40, for example. so as to simplify opening and closing of the clamping jaws 36. The retaining element 30 may therefore be formed from a resiliently flexible material, such as a plastics material, for case of opening die clamping jaws 36.
A retaining direction of the clamping jaws 36 is therefore perpendicular or substantially perpendicular to a retaining direction of the panel retainer 22. This may improve the ease by which the flexible overlay 18 may be installed in position. It will be appreciated however that a system could he provided in which the flexible overlay 18 were affixed to the bracket 14 without the use of a clamp, for instance, by using adhesive, or a distinct fastening clement.
There may be provided a sloping wall 42 which leads toward the recess 34 of the bracket 14. Such a sloping wall 42 can allow the flexible overlay 18 to be readily pulled taut when being retained in position relative to the acoustic damping panel 12.Such a sloping wall 42 may be preferably at a 45-degree angle to the base 38 of the bracket 14 and/or at a 45-degree angle to an opening of the slot 28 of the panel retainer 22.
The ends of each bracket 14 may preferably be chamfered so as to allow for assembly of the plurality of brackets 14 into a frame for the acoustic damping panel 12; an exaggerated version of a trapezoidal or chamfered bracket 14 can be readily seen from Figure 5. To assist with this, there may he provided a frame-member receiving element 44 associated with the bracket 14, for example, on the base 38 as shown, which is able to engage with a structural frame member 46. Such a structural frame member 46 may, for instance, be formed as a rigidifying member having an L' shape so as to reinforce a corner of the assembled frame. It will be appreciated, however, that with sufficient engagement with the acoustic damping panel 12, such structural frame members 46 could he dispensed with.
Similarly, the bracket 14 may he provided with a means by which it can he connected to, for example. an existing ceiling system. In this instance, an anchor receiving clement 48 is provided as a slot on a top surface of the bracket 14. which is capable of engaging with an anchor of a fastening element 50, such as a screw-threaded fastener. A slot enables (lie acoustic damping panel system 10 to he releasahly engaged or disengaged with the surface to which it is to he mounted, typically a ceiling, wall or floor of a building.
To create a more uniform acoustic-damped surface, it is therefore possible to mount the acoustic damping panel 12 to a plurality of brackets 14, but insertion of the acoustic damping panel 12 into the respective pand retainers 22, potentially forming a complete frame. The installer can the position the flexible overlay 18 across the user-facing surface 16 of the acoustic damping panel 12 so as to extend across each of the bases 38 of the p'urality of brackets 14.
It is then possible to secure the flexible overlay 18 to each of the plurality of brackets 14 using the overlay retainers 24 on a side which is spaced from thc user-facing surface 16 of the acoustic damping panel 12 to form a more uniform acoustic-damped panel. The more uniform acoustic-clamped panel can then be mounted to a surface of a building, such as a ceiling, wall or floor, (hereby creating an acoustically damped room.
The finished acoustic damping panel system 10 therefore provides a user-visible surface which appears uniform or substantially uniform by at least in part covering the user-facing surface 16 of the acoustic damping panel 12 and also the brackets 14 to which the acoustic damping panel 12 is mounted.
It is therefore possible to provide a means by which an acoustically damped surface can be provided in which the mounting means is hidden or obscured from a user's perspective, whilst also presenting a more aesthetically pleasing façade to the acoustic damping panel.
The words comprises/comprising' and the words having/including' when used herein with reference to the present invention are used to specify (lie presence of stated features, integers, steps or components, but do not preclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, integers, steps, components or groups thereof.
It is appreciated that certain features of the invention, which are, for clarity, described in (he context of separate embodiments, may a'so he provided in combination in a sin&e embodiment. Conversely, various features of the invention which are, for brevity, described in the context ol a single embodiment. may a'so he provided separately or in any suitable sub-combination.
The embodiments described above are provided by way of examples only. and various other modifications will be apparent to persons skilled in the field without departiiig from the scope of the invention as defined herein.
