Abstract: A suspended ceiling system for suspension from an overhead ceiling of a room is disclosed which includes a plurality of wall trim members secured to the room walls, a plurality of main runner members extending from the wall trim members in a horizontal plane for spanning the room and a plurality of cross braces interlocking with the main runner members and forming a grid for receiving ceiling tiles, panels, fixtures, and the like. A plurality of clips are slidably disposed on the wall trim members, main runner members, and the cross braces to suspend those members from the ceiling and to support the main runner members and cross braces at intersection points in the grid.

Abstract: A suspended ceiling framework assembly for creating either a flat or an arched ceiling in rooms of various sizes. The arched ceiling assembly includes a pair of wall starter pieces and a pair of arched wall side starter pieces, all of which are mounted to the walls of the room and form a perimeter structure thereon. A plurality of spaced-apart arched main track members span the room from one wall to the other wall and are mounted to the oppositely-disposed wall starter pieces. A plurality of spaced-apart crosspieces are slidably interfitted to the arched main track members and the arched wall side starters. An arched grid system is thus formed for supporting ceiling tiles, lighting fixtures, and vents. The flat ceiling assembly includes four wall starter pieces mounted to the respective walls of the room and which are beveled at their respective ends for joining together to form a continuous perimeter structure about the room.
