Abstract:
An apparatus and system to secure a panel to suspended ceiling system which includes a plurality of suspension elements. The apparatus is a border structure that enables attachment of the panel to the suspension element. The border structure includes a plurality of horizontal surface members and a plurality of vertical sections, with a first horizontal surface member being inserted into a hanger secured to the suspension element, and with a second horizontal surface member supporting an end of a panel. At least one vertical section joins the plurality of horizontal surface members. A spring hold down clip secures the panel from unintended displacement during a seismic event.

Abstract:
A panel structure including a flexible panel, at least one edge strip and mounting hardware is provided. Also provided is a method of configuring the panel structure. The edge strip has at least one mounting member receiving area provided thereon. The mounting member receiving area is dimensioned to receive the mounting hardware therein. The mounting hardware cooperates with the edge strip to suspend and mount the flexible panel. When installed, the panel structure provides a canopy-like visual element to a space in which it is suspended or mounted. The panel structure may be suspended or mounted in various configurations having different degrees of flex or curvature. The panel structure can be installed easily and reconfigured easily to suit the user.
A ceiling system which includes a plurality of grid elements which form a grid framework and a plurality of downwardly accessible ceiling panels. The ceiling panels include a substrate and at least two mounting members. Each mounting member cooperates with the substrate to provide strength and rigidity characteristics to the substrate and to form a grid receiving cavity. Each mounting member further cooperates with a grid element to accurately position the panel relative to the grid framework. When installed, the system provides no visual indications on how the ceiling panel can be removed.
