Patent ID: 8314336

Claim:
A rectangular ceiling tile proportioned for use in a standard rectangular ceiling grid module formed by grid tees, the tile having a pair of conductors arranged to feed low voltage electrical power from the grid elements to an electric or electronic device carried on the tile, the conductors each extending to opposite edges of the tile, and including at each of said opposite edges a flexible conductive leaf spring adapted to make physical contact with a flat conductive strip carried on and along the length of a grid element when supported on such grid element, the leaf spring of the conductors are being arranged to automatically establish electrical contact with the conductive strip on a grid tee when the tile is set on the grid tee, the leaf spring being configured to have lateral freedom to accommodate normal dimensional variations in the grid module and panel as well as permitting the panel to be lifted from below the ceiling to gain access to the plenum below the plane of the ceiling.
