Publication number: 20230183972Abstract: A grid hanger assembly for mounting a ceiling system to an overhead support structure. The grid hanger assembly may include a mounting bracket having a mounting element and being configured for attachment to the overhead support structure and a hanger member. The hanger member may include an adjustment plate and a coupling member extending from the adjustment plate. The adjustment plate may include a plurality of mounting elements arranged in an axially spaced apart manner. The hanger may be mounted to the mounting bracket in a selected mounting position of a plurality of selectable mounting positions determined by sliding the hanger member relative to the mounting bracket in a direction of the vertical axis until a selected one of the plurality of mounting elements of the hanger member is aligned with the mounting element of the mounting bracket. A fastener may lock the hanger member to the mounting bracket.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 8, 2023Publication date: June 15, 2023Inventors: Kain A. PLACE, Scott D. HARNISH, Jeffrey T.

Publication number: 20220154464Abstract: Described herein is a method for mounting a grid hanger assembly of a ceiling system. The ceiling system, in one embodiment, includes a grid support member, ceiling panel, and grid hanger configured to support the grid support member in a suspended manner from an overhead structural support. The grid hanger includes a mounting bracket configured for attachment to the structural support and a hanger member. The hanger member is adjustable in a plurality of selectable mounting positions relative to the mounting bracket, thereby allowing the mounted height of the grid support member to be adjusted in the field. In some embodiments, the hanger member is further angularly adjustable relative to the mounting bracket to avoid installation obstacles.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 3, 2022Publication date: May 19, 2022Inventors: Kain A.
