  • Patent number: 6117514
    Abstract: A ceiling tile system for providing a light-weight and easy-to-form interlocking plastic ceiling tile system for covering a ceiling. The ceiling tile system includes at least on ceiling tile comprising a panel with front and back faces, and an outer perimeter comprising a plurality of alternating side edges and corners. Each of the corners of the panel has a corner tab. Each of the side edges of the outer perimeter of the panel has an associated side ridge extending thereadjacent between adjacent corners tabs between which the respective side edge is interposed. The side ridges outwardly extend from the front face of the panel and the side ridges form a plurality of corresponding side grooves in the back face of the panel. Each of the side ridges of the panel is designed for insertion into a side groove of an adjacent side edge of a second panel placed over the side ridge such that the adjacent corner tabs of the second panel are placed over the adjacent corner tabs of the panel.
