Modular Suspended Ceiling and Method of Installation Same

Abstract

A modular suspended ceiling assembly is provided having by multiple panels formed by spaced from each other first and second connecting walls, with first and second main brackets connected to the first connecting wall. First and second auxiliary brackets connected to the second connecting wall. A plurality of suspension members with each suspension member being connected to a hollow support structure. A guide passes through the hollow support structure. A module is formed by adjacent panels supported by the single guide passing through the support structure and accompanied by engagement of the main and auxiliary brackets.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A modular suspended ceiling assembly comprising: multiple panels spaced from each other and suspended from a support structure by a plurality of suspension members;
 each said panel formed by at least spaced from each other first and second connecting walls, first and second spaced from each other main brackets extend outwardly from said first connecting wall, first and second separated auxiliary brackets extend outwardly from said second connecting wall, each said main bracket is formed by at least an engaging portion having a hook formation oriented towards an inner region of the panel;   each said auxiliary bracket is formed by at least an engaging portion having a hook formation having two hook members separated by a space and oriented towards an exterior of the panel;   a plurality of suspension members, each said suspension member including a rod extending between distal and proximal ends thereof, the distal end is adjustably attached to a hollow support structure; and   a plurality of guides/rails, said guides/rails passing through and supported by said hollow support structure of each said respective suspension member, wherein a module is formed by adjacent panels supported by the single rail passing through and supported by said support structure through engagement of said respective hook formations of said main and auxiliary hook formations with said single rail, wherein each said hook formation of the man bracket of said one panels is disposed within the space between the hook members of the auxiliary bracket of the other panel.   
     
     
         2 . The modular suspended ceiling assembly according to  claim 1 , wherein each said main bracket further comprises a connecting portion connected to an inner part of the first connecting wall and said engaging portion extends from the connecting portion. 
     
     
         3 . The modular suspended ceiling assembly according to  claim 1 , wherein each said auxiliary bracket further comprises a connecting portion connected to an inner part of the second connecting wall and said engaging portion extends from the connecting portion. 
     
     
         4 . The modular suspended ceiling assembly according to  claim 1 , wherein said first and second connecting walls are interconnected by front and rear walls. 
     
     
         5 . A method of installation of a modular suspended ceiling assembly, wherein the modular suspended ceiling assembly comprises multiple panels spaced from each other and suspended from a support structure by a plurality of suspension members; each said panel formed by at least first and second connecting walls, first and second spaced from each other main brackets extend outwardly from said first connecting wall, first and second auxiliary brackets extend outwardly from said second connecting wall, each said main bracket is formed by at least an engaging portion having a hook formation oriented towards an inner region of the panel, each said auxiliary bracket is formed by at least an engaging portion having a hook formation with two hook members separated by a space and oriented towards an exterior of the panel, a plurality of suspension members, each said suspension member including a rod extending between distal and proximal ends thereof, the distal end is adjustably attached to a hollow support structure;
 and a plurality of guides/rails;   said method comprising by at least the following step:   mounting said panels into the modular suspended ceiling assembly,   by supporting said adjacent panels by the single rail by passing through and supporting said rail using said support arrangement through engagement of said respective hook formations of said main and auxiliary hook formations with said single rail, wherein each said hook formation of the man bracket one said panels being disposed within the space between the hook members of the auxiliary bracket of the other panel.   
     
     
         6 . The method of installation of a modular suspended ceiling assembly of  claim 5 , further comprising the following steps prior to the step of mounting the panels:
 marking a surface of the support structure and installing suitable fasteners;   mounting the suspension members into the fasteners; and adjusting a predetermined elevation of the panels through rotation of the suspension members within the fasteners.
