Abstract:
In a dropped ceiling assembly system elements are provided which include an elongate planar shelf held below an elongate spine. The shelf has lateral edges which can support edges of a ceiling tile resting thereon. This spine is configured to be held in position either adjacent to spines of other elements within a dropped ceiling or from above, such as by suspension wires passing through suspension holes in the spine. A compartment is provided on an underside of the shelf which is sized and shaped to receive and hold at least a portion of a loudspeaker therein. The loudspeaker mounting system is thus integrated into the shelf which also acts to hold ceiling tiles within a dropped ceiling.

Claim (Index 8):
A system for mounting a T-Bar with a speaker from a ceiling, the system comprising:\n an elongated spine extending from a first terminal end to a second terminal end, the elongated spine being a thin planar structure with a longitudinal edge extending between the first and second terminal ends; a planar shelf spaced from the longitudinal edge of the elongated spine extending to both lateral sides of the elongated spine, wherein the planar shelf is positioned so that at least one ceiling tile may rest upon each lateral side of the planar shelf extending from the elongated spine; a plurality of connectors, each connector located at each terminal end of the elongated spine and connectable to either a second T-bar with a speaker or a common T-bar used for a suspended ceiling frame; and a compartment, the compartment located on a bottom side of the planar shelf and containing at least one speaker such that at least a portion of the at least one speaker is positioned below the at least one suspended ceiling tile resting upon the planar shelf.
