Ceiling module

Abstract

A ceiling module and method of constructing the same, the ceiling module mountable on a suspended ceiling grid structure and including a plurality of elongate blade members, at least a part of faces of at least two blade members being substantially mutually opposed, at least one elongate cross member extending at least between at least two blade members such that the plurality of blade members are connected to form an arrangement; and at least one support member, releasably engageable with the suspended grid ceiling structure and associated with at least one of the blade members to support the plurality of blade members from the suspended ceiling grid structure.

1 . A ceiling module mountable on a suspended ceiling grid structure, the ceiling module comprising:
 a plurality of elongate blade members, at least a part of faces of at least two blade members being substantially mutually opposed;   at least one elongate cross member extending at least between at least two blade members such that the plurality of blade members are connected to form an arrangement; and   at least one support member, releasably engageable with the suspended grid ceiling structure and associated with at least one of the blade members to support the plurality of blade members from the suspended ceiling grid structure.   
     
     
         2 . The ceiling module according to  claim 1  wherein the blade members each extend substantially parallel to a plane defined by the suspended ceiling grid structure. 
     
     
         3 . The ceiling module according to  claim 1  wherein the at least one support member is integral with at least one cross member. 
     
     
         4 . The ceiling module according to  claim 3  wherein the support member extends through the blade members to support the blade members by an interference fit. 
     
     
         5 . The ceiling module according to  claim 1  including at least one spacing member adapted for locating the blade members in a spaced apart configuration. 
     
     
         6 . The ceiling module according to  claim 5  wherein the spacing member is integral with at least one cross member. 
     
     
         7 . The ceiling module according to  claim 6  wherein the spacing member includes blade engaging features adapted for frictionally engaging the blade members. 
     
     
         8 . The ceiling module according to  claim 1  wherein exposed longitudinal edges of the plurality of blade members provide a decorative visual appearance to the ceiling module when viewed in combination. 
     
     
         9 . The ceiling module according to  claim 8  wherein at least a portion of at least one cross member contributes to the decorative visual appearance. 
     
     
         10 . The ceiling module according to  claim 1  including a cover attachable to any one of the blade members, cross members and/or support members and extending across at least a portion of the arrangement. 
     
     
         11 . The ceiling module according to  claim 1  configured to provide acoustic dampening when installed in the suspended ceiling grid system. 
     
     
         12 . The ceiling module according to  claim 1  adapted to be installed in proximity to a fixture selected from the group including lights, emergency lights, vents, speakers, smoke detectors or sprinklers. 
     
     
         13 . A kit for a ceiling module mountable on a suspended ceiling grid structure, the kit comprising:
 a plurality of elongate blade members;   at least one elongate cross member adapted to extend at least between at least two blade members to connect the blade members such that at least a part of faces of at least two blade members are substantially mutually opposed;   at least one support member adapted for releasable engagement with the suspended ceiling grid structure and adapted to be associated with at least one of the blade members to support the plurality of blade members from the suspended grid ceiling structure.   
     
     
         14 . The kit according to  claim 13  wherein each of the blade members are provided in at least one substantially flat sheet. 
     
     
         15 . A method of constructing a ceiling module mountable on a suspended ceiling grid structure, the method including the steps of:
 providing a plurality of elongate blade members;   providing at least one elongate cross member adapted to extend at least between at least two blade members to connect the blade members;   providing at least one support member adapted to be releasably engageable with the suspended grid ceiling structure and associated with at least one of the blade members to support the plurality of blade members from the suspended ceiling grid structure; and   connecting the blade members to the cross member such that at least a portion of faces of at least two blade members are substantially mutually opposed.
