Publication number: 20180100305Abstract: An elongated structural ceiling grid member including an open-ended upper portion, an open-ended lower portion, and first and second flanges. The open-ended upper section is formed by a floor and a first set of second parallel and spaced sidewalls extending from and substantially perpendicular to the floor. The open-ended upper portion has an opening opposite the floor and defined by the first and second parallel and spaced sidewalls. The open-ended lower portion is formed by a ceiling and a second set of parallel and spaced sidewalls that extend from and are substantially perpendicular to the ceiling. The open-ended lower portion has a second opening opposite the ceiling and defined by the third and fourth parallel and spaced sidewalls. The first flange is attached to and extends perpendicular to the third parallel and spaced sidewall and the second flange is attached to and extends perpendicular to the fourth parallel and spaced sidewall.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 23, 2017Publication date: April 12, 2018Applicant: TATE ACCESS FLOORS LEASING, INC.Inventors: Daniel J.

Publication number: 20160205812Abstract: A panel assembly that is attached to the support structure of a server or IT rack. The panel assembly includes a panel and a bracket. The panel is rotatably attached to the support structure by the bracket, about a vertical axis. The panel is rotatable between open and closed positions. When in the closed position, the panel extends between two members of the server or IT rack support structure and prevents cooling airflow through the space behind the panel and between the two members. When in the open position, the panel does not impede cooling airflow through that space.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 13, 2015Publication date: July 14, 2016Inventors: Daniel J. CURTIN, William W. REYNOLDS, Peter STRAPP, Michael CHOI

Patent number: 8511022Abstract: An access floor panel is disclosed that has a top plate with a plurality of non-directional air passageways intermingled with a plurality of directional air passageways. The directional air passageways are configured to direct airflow through them at an angle to the upper surface of the top plate of other than 90°. The directional air passageways include an opening in the top plate and a tab adjacent to each opening that is at an angle with respect to top surface of the top plate of other than 90°. Due to the intermingling of the non-directional air passageways and the directional air passageways, the composite air flow direction through the non-directional air passageways and the directional air passageways is at an angle with the top plate of other than 90°.Type: GrantFiled: January 20, 2012Date of Patent: August 20, 2013Assignee: Tate Access Floors Leasing, Inc.Inventors: Daniel J. Curtin, William W. Reynolds, Daniel B. Kennedy
