Abstract

A clip and a frame element are provided that facilitate multiple connection options for a vertically-mounted acoustic baffle in a single system. Kits comprising the clip, frame element and an acoustic baffle are also provided.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 .- 19 . (canceled) 
     
     
         20 . A system for vertical suspension of an acoustic baffle, the system comprising
 a) a frame element comprising a foldable tab comprising a second aperture;   b) a clip configured for connection to the frame element, wherein the clip comprises a body plate, one or more fastening elements for securing the clip to the frame element, and a first aperture, wherein the body plate comprises a cut-out configured to accommodate the foldable tab of the frame element.   
     
     
         21 . A system for vertical suspension of an acoustic baffle, the system comprising
 a) a frame element comprising a foldable tab comprising a second aperture;   b) a clip configured for connection to the frame element, wherein the clip comprises a body plate, one or more fastening elements for securing the clip to the frame element, and a first aperture,   wherein the clip is provided with wings on opposing edges of the body plate, wherein each wing is connected to the body plate by a U-shaped fold such that the wing lies underneath and spaced from the body plate so as to be configured to receive the frame element between the wings and the body plate,   wherein the clip comprises more than one legs joined to the body plate by an upwardly-angled joint such that the more than one legs are parallel to the body plate.   
     
     
         22 . A system for vertical suspension of an acoustic baffle, the system comprising
 a) a frame element comprising a foldable tab comprising a second aperture;   b) a clip configured for connection to the frame element, wherein the clip comprises a body plate, one or more fastening elements for securing the clip to the frame element, and a first aperture;   wherein the frame element overlaps with the first aperture when the clip and the frame element are connected, and wherein the frame element comprises a larger aperture to align with the first aperture in the clip.   
     
     
         23 . A system for vertical suspension of an acoustic baffle, the system comprising
 a) a frame element;   b) a clip configured for connection to the frame element, wherein the clip comprises a body plate and a first aperture;   c) a beam hanger configured for connection to the clip, wherein the beam hanger comprises a substantially rectangular first plate connected at opposing edges to a second plate and a third plate such that the second plate and third plate are substantially parallel and face each other.   
     
     
         24 . The system of  claim 20 , wherein the clip comprises one or more substantially planar legs joined to the body plate by an upwardly-angled joint such that the one or more substantially planar legs are parallel to the body plate. 
     
     
         25 . The system of  claim 21 , wherein the clip comprises one or more substantially planar legs joined to the body plate by an upwardly-angled joint such that the one or more substantially planar legs are parallel to the body plate. 
     
     
         26 . The system of  claim 22 , wherein the clip comprises one or more substantially planar legs joined to the body plate by an upwardly-angled joint such that the one or more substantially planar legs are parallel to the body plate. 
     
     
         27 . The system of  claim 23 , wherein the clip comprises one or more substantially planar legs joined to the body plate by an upwardly-angled joint such that the one or more substantially planar legs are parallel to the body plate. 
     
     
         28 . The system of  claim 20 , wherein the body plate of the clip comprises an upper part substantially parallel to a lower part, the upper part and lower part connected by a fold. 
     
     
         29 . The system of  claim 21 , wherein the body plate of the clip comprises an upper part substantially parallel to a lower part, the upper part and lower part connected by a fold. 
     
     
         30 . The system of  claim 22 , wherein the body plate of the clip comprises an upper part substantially parallel to a lower part, the upper part and lower part connected by a fold. 
     
     
         31 . The system of  claim 23 , wherein the body plate of the clip comprises an upper part substantially parallel to a lower part, the upper part and lower part connected by a fold. 
     
     
         32 . A suspended ceiling comprising
 the system of  claim 20 ; and   an acoustic baffle supported by a frame, the frame comprising two side profiles.   
     
     
         33 . A suspended ceiling comprising
 the system of  claim 21 ; and   an acoustic baffle supported by a frame, the frame comprising two side profiles.   
     
     
         34 . A suspended ceiling comprising
 the system of  claim 22 ; and   an acoustic baffle supported by a frame, the frame comprising two side profiles.   
     
     
         35 . A suspended ceiling comprising
 the system of  claim 23 ; and   an acoustic baffle supported by a frame, the frame comprising two side profiles.   
     
     
         36 . The system of  claim 23 , wherein each of the second plate and the third plate each comprise a hinged tab configured for connection to a C-profile beam. 
     
     
         37 . A clip for use in an acoustic baffle suspension system, the clip comprising a body plate,
 wherein the clip comprises one or more fastening elements for securing the clip to a frame element,   wherein the clip comprises a first aperture, and   wherein the clip comprises one or more legs joined to the body plate by an upwardly-angled joint such that the one or more legs are parallel to the body plate,   wherein the clip is provided with wings on opposing edges of the body plate, wherein each wing is connected to the body plate by a U-shaped fold such that the wing lies underneath and spaced from the body plate so as to be configured to receive the frame element between the wings and the body plate.   
     
     
         38 . A clip for use in an acoustic baffle suspension system, the clip comprising a body plate,
 wherein the clip comprises one or more fastening elements for securing the clip to a frame element,   wherein the clip comprises a first aperture, and   wherein the clip comprises one or more legs joined to the body plate by an upwardly-angled joint such that the one or more legs are parallel to the body plate,   wherein the body plate of the clip comprises an upper part substantially parallel to a lower part, the upper part and lower part connected by a fold.   
     
     
         39 . A system for vertical suspension of an acoustic baffle, the system comprising
 a) a frame element comprising a foldable tab comprising a second aperture; and   b) the clip of  claim 37 .   
     
     
         40 . A system for vertical suspension of an acoustic baffle, the system comprising
