  • Patent number: 11339570
    Abstract: A pass through grid connector clip for a suspended ceiling. The grid connector clip is made of two identical halves connected back-to-back by a fastener passing through a first aperture of both identical halves or other joining method. The identical halves each have a web with a first side and an opposite second side defining a height; a third side and an opposite fourth side defining a length; a louver element closer to a fourth side than the third side; a half sleeve located between the clip and the louver element and extending from the first side to the second side the in a substantially semi-circular shape; the first aperture located between the half sleeve and the clip or the half sleeve and the louver element. The halves include a clip connected to the third side and two flanges projecting in substantially the same direction from opposite sides of the web. As a result, when the halves are joined back-to-back they form a pass through sleeve.

  • Patent number: 6957517
    Abstract: A splice plate for a faceted curved beam formed in the field from a straight beam. The splice plate can be used to fix the bends of either a convex or a concave curved beam used in the grid of a curved suspended drywall ceiling so that the cross beams in the grid are positioned in contact with the curved drywall board of the ceiling.

  • Patent number: 6751922
    Abstract: A straight roll formed beam for a curved suspended ceiling capable of being formed into a curve at the job site. The straight beam has cutouts that leave a segment of the bulb of the beam in place to give the straight beam rigidity after it is roll formed from metal strip. In the field, the bulb segment at a cutout is cut to permit the beam to be bent into a faceted curve. The bend at the cutout is fixed by a splice plate.
