IPC: E04F13/00
Filed: 1986-09-12
Abstract: In the construction of a suspended ceiling or a partition comprising a panel of taut fabric or netting supported by a rigid peripheral frame openings are provided adjacent to the border, e.g. to accomodate intersection by exposed pipework or other services, by means of a rigid slotted plate on to one face of which the borders of an opening made in the fabric can be secured by e.g. adhesive, to maintain the tension in the fabric adjacent to and opposite the opening. Pref. the plate is of translucent PVC, pref. rectangular with a pair of slots leading from the frame to a radiused end. Alt. the plate may feature a single opening from which a slit projects to the border to allow the panel to be mounted over a continuous pipe by temp. twisting the plate.

(4pp Dwg.No.0/4) - EP-215715 B False ceiling or false wall constituted by a stretched sheet (1) fastened, along its edges, to a support fixed to the wall or to the ceiling, the support (2) being constituted by a horizontal rail extending all around the room and which is formed by portions of sections presenting a shoulder (4) on which is fastened an edge (5) of the sheet (1), in the form of a hook or harpoon, characterised in that the sheet (1) presents, at each spot where are located pipes (6) traversing it, near its sides, a reinforcing plate (7), glued on the sheet (1) with a longitudinal side of said plate (7) abutting on the edge (5) and previously cut out, like sheet (1), the cut-outs (8) of the plate (7) and those of the sheet (1) are superposed and follow the shape of each pipe (6) which traverses said sheet (1) and plate (7), and the cutouts (8) of the plate (7) open out in the longitudinal side which abuts on the edge (5), this border being interrupted at the spots where there open out said cut-outs (8) of the plate (7) and those of the sheet (1), thus being adjacent at said spots to the shoulder (4). (5pp) USAB- US4711060 A False ceiling or wall assembly comprises a sheet having tooth shaped terminals to stretch the sheet across a frame secured to the ceiling. The terminals engage with a shoulder on the frame. A duct extends through a passage in the sheet and a reinforcing plate is fixed to the top of the sheet. - The sheet may be of fabric or plastic, and the plate of pvc. (4pp)e
