Definitions

  • a ceiling for instance a suspended ceiling is understood which is visible from the room and which covers or masks the real or rough ceiling or other construction to which the sight ceiling is mounted in any convenient manner.
  • the method according to the invention concerns a method for making sight ceilings consisting of panels, these panels having, on at least one edge, a lower flange or tongue and, on the opposite edge, only an upper flange or tongue.
  • the method according to the invention is characterized in that, on mounting a panel, its upper flange or tongue is being supported on the lower flange or tongue. of the adjacent already mounted panel, whereupon the opposite end of the panel to be mounted is, for the time being, provisionally connected with the real or rough ceiling with the aid of a mounting means, whereupon, in the region of the rim of the panel, at least one spanning and leveling device is passed through a though-opening and then the panel to be mounted spanned together with the already mounted panel by means of the spanning and leveling device and thereby held with its visible surface flush with the visible surface of the already mounted panel.
  • the sight or visible ceiling made according to this method is characterised in that the panels have in the region of at least one of their sides at least one throughopening for transiently passing through it a spanning and leveling device.
  • the panels in certain embodiments, can be shifted relatively to each other in the ceiling plane as need be.
  • FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a panel seen from the top in an inclined direction.
  • FIG. 2. is, on a larger scale, a sectional view through the connection of two adjacent panels with the spanning and leveling device, i.e. during the mounting of a panel.
  • FIG. 3 is, on a smaller scale, a section parallel to that of FIG. 2 with the left-hand panel completely mounted and after the spanning and leveling device having been removed.
  • FIG. 4 is, on a smaller scale, an elevalion from the left in FIG. 2, the left-hand panel being removed.
  • FIG. 5 is a view similar to FIG. 4, but of a modified embodiment, the spanning and leveling device being removed.
  • FIG. 6 is a perspective view of two panels, in which the fixing means lies outside the through-opening.
  • FIG. 7 is a sectional view through two adjacent panels of another example, in which the fixing means also lies outside the through-opening.
  • FIG. 8 is a sectional view of a panel consisting of two layers.
  • FIG. 9 is a top-view of two panels according to FIG. 8, the panel being not yet joined together.
  • FIG. 10 is a sectional view of a panel formed in the manner of a sandwich.
  • FIG. 11 is a sectional view of two adjacent panels according to a further embodiment.
  • the panel 1 as illustrated in FIG. 1 and e.g. made of plaster of Paris has two recesses 2 on its upper surface and on each of two adjacent edges 3 only a lower flange or tongue 4 and on each of the two other edges only an upper flange or tongue 5.
  • the panel 1 has four narrow openings in the shape of laterally open recesses 6 going through the entire thickness of the panel 1.
  • the shorter edge 3 has only two such throughopenings 6.
  • These recesses 6 are lacking along the two other edges only provided with the upper flanges 5.
  • FIG. 3 now illustrates two panels I joined together in the completed formation.
  • the upper flange 5 of the lefthand panel is simply supported on the lower flange 4 of the right-hand panel 1.
  • the joints 7, 8 and 9 between these panels are rigidly connected together by a binding agent, such as, for instance, by adhesive plaster of Paris or mortar or by any other suitable binding material. Only in joint 8 the layer of binding agent is hatched in the drawing.
  • a binding agent such as, for instance, by adhesive plaster of Paris or mortar or by any other suitable binding material.

  • FIG. 3 The sectional view of FIG. 3 does not go through a recess 6. However, the U-shaped fixing means 11 projecting into the recess 6 at least partly filled with plaster is shown in dotted lines. The two legs of the fixing means 11 are cast or moulded into the right-hand panel. A twisted suspension wire 13 is connected to the web 12 of the means 11, lying within the recess 6. The twisted suspension wire 13 is connected to the real or rough ceiling (not shown) in a well-known manner.
  • FIG. 1 The sectional view of FIG. 3 does not go through a recess 6. However, the U-shaped fixing means 11 projecting into the recess 6 at least partly filled with plaster is shown in dotted lines. The two legs of the fixing means 11 are cast or moulded into the right-hand panel. A twisted suspension wire 13 is connected to the web 12 of the means 11, lying within the recess 6. The twisted suspension wire 13 is connected to the real or rough ceiling (not shown) in a well-known manner.
  • FIG. 3 illustrates that the sight surfaces 14 of the panels, visible from the room, are completely flush with each other and that, in the case of a ceiling with jointless sight surface, only the small joints and the narrow apertures of the recesses 6 between the points 15 and 16 are to be plastered or masked, this operation requiring, of course, no highlyskilled worker.
  • the worker Since, for the time being, the upper flange 5 of the left-hand panel 1 is freely supported on the lower flange 4 of the right-hand panel 1, the worker, if necessary, can shift the left-hand panel in the plane of the ceiling.
  • the worker Before supporting the upper flange 5 of the left-hand panel 1 on the lower flange 4 of the already mounted panel, the worker has brought a binding agent, such as adhesive plaster of Paris or mortar onto the faces 18, 19 and 20. After having put the flange 5 onto the fiange 4, the worker passes from the top the web 21 of an upper spanning plate 22 of a spanning and levelling device through the recess 6 until the upper spanning plate 22 lies on the upper surface of the right-hand panel 1.
  • a binding agent such as adhesive plaster of Paris or mortar
  • the key or wedge 25 and the lower spanning plate 23 are removed and the web 21 with the upper spanning plate 22 is withdrawn towards the top.
  • the wire 13 (not shown) of the left-hand panel is twisted until it has the necessary length.
  • the small joints and the narrow recesses 6 are plastered or masked, whereupon the next panel 1 will be mounted.
  • the joints 7, 8 and 9 may, of course, also be provided with a quickly hardening or binding agent and the bead or beads 10 may then under certain circumstances be omitted. In such a case the spanning and levelling device or devices remain in spanning and levelling condition until the binding agent in the joints 7, 8 and 9 has set or hardened.
  • the upper spanning plate 22 can be articulated to the web 21, for instance, by a hinge-joint, preferably in an unsymmetrical position with regard to the web 21. Then, after having removed the wedge 25, the worker can lift the web 21 from the bottom until the upper spanning plate 22 swings into paratlel position to the web 21, whereupon he can withdraw the web 21 and the upper spanning plate 22 through the recess 6 towards the bottom.
  • a wing nut and a bolt provided on the web 21 to cooperate with the wing nut or any other suitable device can be used for spanning the spanning and levelling device.
  • Some of the through-openings 6 may, after the mounting operation, be left open if desired, e.g. for passing lines or ducts of any kind through them or for any other reasons.
  • the web 12 of the U-shaped fixing means 11 is a stirrup turned towards the top. This offers the advantage that the wire end 17 may be longer than with a straight web without that it projects beyond the panel towards the bottom or without that it must be bent back into the panel.
  • the fixing means in the shape of a wire ioop 26 is directly cast or moulded into the panel 1.
  • the wire loop 26 may also be replaced by a hook whose stem is cast into the panel 1.
  • the through-opening or openings 6 only serve for passing the spanning and levelling device through them.
  • the fixing means 26 lies beside the opening or openings 6 in a recess 34 and the loop 26 is bent upwards along the back wall 35 of the recess 34 at right angles. This offers the advantage that the through-opening 6 can be made still narrower than in the former example so that plastering or masking the same its still simpler.
  • the wire loop 26 is covered towards the room and thereby invisible.
  • the recess 6 is provided in a panel portion 27 having two inclined stop faces 28. These stop faces 28 cooperate with corresponding stop faces 29 on the upper flange of the adjacent panel 1 for fixing the relative position in the ceiling plane of adjacent panels.
  • the throughopening or openings for receiving the spanning and levelling device or devices is or are not laterally open recesses. They are through-holes of round or any other cross-section with closed circumference, these holes lying out of reach of the lower flange 4 and going through the entire thickness of the panels 1.
  • a wire-loop 26 cast into the panel 1 on the level of the upper face of the lower flange 4 is bent at right angles towards the top along the outer face of the flange 5, i.e. it goes through the joint 7.
  • the panel consists of two layers It: and 1b which are adhered or glued together or connected together in any other way. These layers hold fast between them the wire loop 26 which, similar to FIG. 7, is bent upwards at right angles and is fixed by the adhering or other connecting the layers In! and 1b together.
  • the layers 1a and 111 may consist of any suitable material, such as, for instance, solid wood, fiberboard or plates known in the trade under the name Plasterboard. Under Plasterboard plates are understood having an intermediate layer of plaster of Paris and a cardboard coating layer or layers on one or both surfaces of the intermediate layer. As illustrated in FIG. 9 such layer-panels have one or more through-openings 6 in the lower flange 4, similar to FIGS. 1 and 6 and a recess or recesses 31 in the upper flange 5. In order to allow lateral displacement of the panels relatively to each other the recess or recesses 31 are broader than the opening or openings 6.
  • the suspension loop 26 lies outside the opening 6.
  • the panel according to FIG. 10 forms a sandwich between whose layers la and 1b of any suitable material, such as for instance Plasterboard, an intermediate layer 32 is enclosed which is fixed simultaneously by the interconnection, for instance, glueing together of the layers 1a and 1b.
  • This intermediate layer may for instance be a heating resistance, a heat insulation, a damming layer or a radiation protection layer.
  • the sandwich may also con sist of more than two layers 1a and 1b and more than one intermediate layer 32.
  • the panels consist of screw. and nail-holding material such as, for instance, solid wood, plywood, or of certain fiberboards.
  • the through-openings 6 for the spanning and levelling device lie entirely in the flanges 4 and 5 and have cross-sections with closed circumference, Out of reach of the flanges and of the openings 6 lies the suspension means consisting of an eyebolt 33, for instance of an ordinary wood screw screwed into the panel.
  • the screw 33 also lies in the neighbourhood of the rim of the panel.
  • the through-openings 6 may also be provided on the side of the panel provided with the upper flange 5, the fixing means being, of course, provided on the side of panel provided with the lower flange 4.
  • the panels may also consist of plastic material or have the shape of pans or boxes. Instead of suspending the panels they could be directly screwed r0 nailed or fixed in another way to suitable means provided on the real or rough ceiling. In this case the ceiling is not a suspended ceiling.
  • the through-openings 6 of the panels 1 may either be made during the manufacture of the panels 1 in the factory or not before they have been brought to the building site.
  • the spanning and levelling device can be passed through these gaps forming the through-openings.
  • a method for making a visible cover for and in spaced relation to a rough structural part from prefabricated panels by sequentially applying the panels which comprises supporting one end of a panel to be mounted on one end of an already mounted panel by overlapping the ends of the panels, supporting the 0pposite end of the panel to be mounted from the rough structural part, aligning the panel to be mounted together with the already mounted panel by applying an upper levelling means of a spanning and levelling device onto the upper surfaces of the already mounted panel and the panel to be mounted, applying a lower levelling plate of the spanning and levelling device onto the lower surfaces of the said two panels, and pressing the lower levelling means of a spanning and levelling device onto panels to hold the visible surface of the panel to be mounted flush with the visible surface of the already mounted panel, applying a binding agent to bind said panel to be mounted to the already mounted panel, and removing the spanning and levelling device only after the setting of the binding agent.
