Publication number: 20180187415Abstract: A ceiling suspension system comprises a flexible panel, a first support structure and a plurality of elongate support members, wherein each elongate support member comprises a first end and a second end. The first end of each elongate support member is coupled to the first support structure and the second end of each elongate support member is coupled to the flexible panel. The coupling between the elongate support members and the flexible panel is arranged to force the flexible panel into a desired shape.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 1, 2016Publication date: July 5, 2018Inventors: Pierre Dalmay, Yves Benkemoun

Patent number: 9813060Abstract: An actuator for controlling the operation of an apparatus comprises a panel (16) and an acoustic sensor (26). The panel provides a partition within a building structure, while the acoustic sensor is adapted to detect acoustic waves propagating through the panel. When a user exerts pressure against the panel, the sensor detects the acoustic waves that are formed and emits signals for controlling the operation of an apparatus, such as a doorbell, a light source, a television, a sound system, a ventilation system, a window blind, a radio or an alarm.Type: GrantFiled: November 22, 2011Date of Patent: November 7, 2017Assignee: Saint-Gobain Placo SASInventors: Marie-Virginie Ehrensperger, Paul-Henri Guering, Philippe Laval, Richard Morlat, Jean-Louis Mongrolle, Yves Benkemoun, Christelle Pousse

Publication number: 20170234515Abstract: A luminous panel includes a light-emitting board having a light-emitting face to form a surface of a wall device, and a receiving part to be fastened to a framing of the wall device. The light-emitting board is removably attachable to the receiving part. In the installed configuration, the emitting face forms a part of the surface of the wall device and the receiving part is at the rear of the surface of the wall device. The light-emitting board and the receiving part include complementary rotational members located near first ends of the light-emitting board and the receiving part, and complementary snap-fastening members located near second ends of the light-emitting board and the receiving part. In the assembled state, the receiving part is completely covered by the light-emitting board and the rotational members are housed in the volume between the light-emitting board and the receiving part.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 12, 2015Publication date: August 17, 2017Inventors: Pierre DALMAY, Manuel CAPITAO DA COSTA, Yves BENKEMOUN

Patent number: 8777470Abstract: This interior wall includes at least one cladding panel (4) covered with a luminous fabric (6), lying in a substantially vertical plane and having a front face receiving the luminous fabric, a rear face opposite the front face, a bottom edge, and a top edge. The luminous fabric includes optical fibers (7) extending substantially vertically over the front face of the first cladding panel and first ends of which are bent around the bottom edge of the first cladding panel toward its rear face. A casing (8) accommodates light sources and includes connecting elements (10) for the ends of the optical fibers (7) of the luminous fabric bent around the bottom edge of the first cladding panel. The first casing (8) is fastened to the first cladding panel and is supported by feet (20) extending beyond the bottom edge of the first cladding panel.Type: GrantFiled: November 17, 2009Date of Patent: July 15, 2014Assignee: BPB LimitedInventors: Sylvie Perez, Yves Benkemoun, Patrick Truquin, Andre Rivaud

Patent number: 8534891Abstract: This board is a complex including a rigid support covered with a luminous fabric. The rigid support has a front face, a rear face, a first edge, and a second edge opposite the first edge. The luminous fabric at least partly covers the front face of the rigid support, extending from the first edge toward the second edge, and includes optical fibers extending over the front face of the rigid support substantially perpendicular to the first edge and the second edge. First ends of the optical fibers are bent around the first edge toward the rear face of the rigid support, and a gripping element are provided on the first edge and form a clamp for gripping the bent parts of the optical fibers and the first edge of the rigid support.Type: GrantFiled: November 17, 2009Date of Patent: September 17, 2013Assignee: BPB LimitedInventors: Sylvie Perez, Yves Benkemoun, Patrick Truquin, Andre Rivaud
