Benefits of technology
The present invention is about a suspended ceiling system that has advantages such as easy access to the plenum space and efficient prevention of wind uplift or impacts. The ceiling tiles are securely fixed in position using a clamping action or elastic deformation of the grid of profiles. The invention allows for easy mounting and demounting of the ceiling tiles without destroying them. The grid of profiles can engage with the ceiling tiles under elastic or inelastic deformation. The technical effects of the invention are improved safety and efficiency in the use of suspended ceilings.
Problems solved by technology
However, known ceiling panels are easily displaced from their fittings in the supporting grid.
However, it is typically cumbersome and time consuming to install these external locking devices into each, often large number, of the ceiling tiles to be mounted.
Moreover, the external locking devices may destroy parts keep the ceiling panels in place.
However, it is typically cumbersome and time consuming to install these external locking devices into each, often large number, of the ceiling tiles to be mounted.
Moreover, the external locking devices may destroy parts of the ceiling tile, due to the ceiling tile being porous and consequently fragile.
Also, it is difficult to implement an efficient automated manufacturing process in which the external locking device is mounted into a proper position of the ceiling tile.

Embodiment Construction
[0059]FIG. 1 is a schematic perspective view illustrating an embodiment of the inventive suspended ceiling 100 comprising a plurality of ceiling tiles 120, 122 and a grid of profiles 110, 112, as seen obliquely from above. The suspended ceiling 100 is adapted to be mounted underneath a main ceiling of a room or another accommodation, thereby forming a two-dimensional visible ceiling surface as seen from below. When mounted, the grid of profiles 110, 112 comprised in the suspended ceiling 100 is preferably at least partly concealed. In one example, the grid of profiles 110, 112 is concealed in one direction of the suspended ceiling 100 and exposed in the other direction. In another example, the grid of profiles 110, 112 is concealed in both directions of the suspended ceiling 100.
[0060]The grid of profiles 110, 112 is a supporting structure for the ceiling tiles 120, 122 and comprises profiles 110, 112 in the form of main runners 110 as well as cross runners 112. A first set of main ...

In accordance with the present inventive concept, there is provided a suspended ceiling comprising a ceiling tile (500) and a grid of profiles forming a frame which supports the ceiling tile (500). The ceiling tile (500) has a first and a second pair of non-adjacent side-edge portions, wherein the grid of profiles engages from below with the first pair of side-edge portions, and wherein the grid of profiles engages from above with the second pair of side-edge portions. The grid of profiles engages with said first and second pair of side-edge portions such that a clamping action that counteracts lateral displacement of the ceiling tile (500) is provided. There is also provided a method for mounting the suspended ceiling. Furthermore, the present inventive concept also relates to an improved ceiling tile (500) for a suspended ceiling.
Description
FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention relates to a suspended ceiling. More specifically, the present invention relates to an improved suspended ceiling comprising a ceiling tile and supporting structure and a method for installing the ceiling tile in the supporting structure. The present invention also relates to an improved ceiling tile for a suspended ceiling.BACKGROUND ART[0002]A suspended ceiling in a room or in another accommodation may serve a variety of purposes. One purpose of having a suspended ceiling may be to conceal an underside of a space, such as another room, which is located above the room. Another purpose may be to provide an improved noise absorption and / or noise attenuation in and outside of the room. The resulting plenum space located between the suspended ceiling and a main ceiling of the room may further be utilized to accommodate e.g. wiring, piping, as well as devices related to heating, ventilation and air condition.[0003]Typically, the suspende...
