Embodiment Construction

[0013] figure 1 One embodiment of the interior building system of the present invention is shown. The system 10 includes a curved acoustic composite panel 12 and mounting features 14 for attaching the panel 12 to the interior building structure. Although the panels 12 of the present invention have a variety of curved configurations, including hilltop arcs, valley arcs, etc., for purposes of illustration, the configuration is shown throughout the drawings as hilltop arcs.

[0014] The aforementioned board 12 is constructed of two or more layers of soft fiber material. Each soft fiber layer consists of sound-absorbing mineral fibers or medium-density glass fibers. One suitable soft fiber material is wet-formed mineral fiber board available from Armstrong World Industries Ltd under the name ULTIMA. refer to Figure 2A and Figure 2B In a preferred embodiment, the board has four layers: a first inner layer 16 and a second inner layer 17 , a first outer layer 15 and a second o...

Abstract

An interior building system which includes a curved, acoustical, self-supporting composite panel which differentiates and accents the interior building space, and, at the same time, provides substantial sound absorbing capabilities. The composite panel is composed of two or more layers of non self-supporting soft fiber material and a discontinuous layer of adhesive interposed between each of the soft fiber layers. The system further includes mounting hardware for attaching the panel to the building structure. The mounting hardware has a perforated plate which is embedded in the panel which minimizes the visibility of the hardware, and, at the same time, provides enhanced load bearing capabilities.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This application claims priority under 35 U.S.C. §119(e) to U.S. Provisional Application No. 60 / 667,931, filed April 4, 2005. technical field [0003] The present invention relates generally to interior building systems, and more particularly to a composite flexible fiber substrate system that supports itself with minimal sagging. Background technique [0004] Conventional suspended ceiling systems in offices, retail stores, and similar commercial establishments generally include suspended meshes that support sound-absorbing soft fiber masses. These systems generally span the length of the room, ie are continuous and form the same appearance. Although these continuous suspension systems provide a comfortable and sound-absorbing space, designers, architects, and building owners often oppose their use for a variety of reasons, including reduced ceiling heights and material costs to accommodate entire spans . As a resu...
