Suspended ceiling panel system for residential and commercial buildings

Abstract

A suspended ceiling panel system includes a grid system that includes a main beam and a cross beam. The suspended panel system also includes a panel which includes a grid molding and a trim molding. The grid molding is disposed upon at least one of the main beam and the cross beam of the grid system. The trim molding is attached to the grid molding such that a portion of the main beam or the cross beam is disposed between the trim molding and the grid molding.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A suspended ceiling panel system, comprising:
 a grid system which includes a main beam and a cross beam;   a panel which includes a grid molding and a trim molding;   said grid molding disposed upon at least one of said main beam and said cross beam of said grid system; and   said trim molding attached to said grid molding such that a portion of said main beam or said cross beam is disposed between said trim molding and said grid molding.   
     
     
         2 . The suspended ceiling panel system for residential and commercial buildings of  claim 1 , wherein said panel further comprises insulation disposed adjacent said grid molding. 
     
     
         3 . The suspended ceiling panel system for residential and commercial buildings of  claim 1 , wherein said grid molding includes a generally C-shaped cross section. 
     
     
         4 . The suspended ceiling panel system for residential and commercial buildings of  claim 1 , wherein said grid molding is formed from a material selected from the group consisting of a plastic, a metal and an alloy. 
     
     
         5 . The suspended ceiling panel system for residential and commercial buildings of  claim 1 , wherein said grid molding comprises a vertical member attached to a top member and a bottom member, said grid molding being formed with at least one interior step. 
     
     
         6 . The suspended ceiling panel system for residential and commercial buildings of  claim 1 , wherein said attachment of said trim molding to said grid molding is accomplished via a magnet disposed within said trim molding or said grid molding. 
     
     
         7 . The suspended ceiling panel system for residential and commercial buildings of  claim 1 , wherein said trim molding is formed from a material selected from the group consisting of a plastic, a metal and an alloy. 
     
     
         8 . The suspended ceiling panel system for residential and commercial buildings of  claim 1 , said trim molding formed with a bulb, said bulb engaging a socket formed on said grid molding. 
     
     
         9 . The suspended ceiling panel system for residential and commercial buildings of  claim 1 , said panel further comprising a fixture chosen from the group consisting of a light, an airflow ductwork, a light, a sign, a sprinkler head and an exit sign. 
     
     
         10 . The suspended ceiling panel system for residential and commercial buildings of  claim 1 , wherein a fabric is disposed on said trim molding. 
     
     
         11 . A method of assembly of a suspended ceiling panel system for residential and commercial buildings, said method comprising the steps of:
 providing a grid system which includes a main beam and a cross beam;   providing a panel which includes a grid molding and a trim molding;   disposing said grid molding on at least one of said main beam and said cross beam of said grid system; and   attaching said trim molding to said grid molding such that a portion of said main beam or said cross beam is disposed between said trim molding and said grid molding.   
     
     
         12 . The method of assembly of a suspended ceiling panel system for residential and commercial buildings of  claim 11 , wherein said panel further comprises an insulation disposed adjacent said grid molding. 
     
     
         13 . The method of assembly of a suspended ceiling panel system for residential and commercial buildings of  claim 11 , wherein said grid molding includes a generally C-shaped cross section. 
     
     
         14 . The method of assembly of a suspended ceiling panel system for residential and commercial buildings of  claim 11 , wherein said grid molding is formed from a material selected from the group consisting of a plastic, a metal and an alloy. 
     
     
         15 . The method of assembly of a suspended ceiling panel system for residential and commercial buildings of  claim 11 , wherein said grid molding comprises a vertical member attached to a top member and a bottom member, said grid molding being formed with at least one interior step. 
     
     
         16 . The method of assembly of a suspended ceiling panel system for residential and commercial buildings of claim II, wherein said attachment of said trim molding to said grid molding is accomplished via a magnet disposed within said trim molding or said grid molding. 
     
     
         17 . The method of assembly of a suspended ceiling panel system for residential and commercial buildings of  claim 11 , wherein said trim molding is formed from a material selected from the group consisting of a plastic, a metal and an alloy. 
     
     
         18 . The method of assembly of a suspended ceiling panel system for residential and commercial buildings of  claim 11 , said trim molding formed with a bulb, said bulb engaging a socket formed on said grid molding. 
     
     
         19 . The method of assembly of a suspended ceiling panel system for residential and commercial buildings of  claim 11 , said panel further comprising a fixture chosen from the group consisting of a light, an airflow ductwork, a light, a sign, a sprinkler head and an exit sign.
