Abstract

A bracket ( 1 ) for holding a suspended ceiling has a first end ( 2 ) for anchoring the bracket ( 1 ) to a beam or the like of a building structure and a second end ( 3 ) to which a mounting profile is attachable on which a building panel is mountable. The bracket ( 1 ) has a rectangular and flat part ( 4 ) that in use is horizontally arranged between the first and second ends ( 2, 3 ). The length (L) of the flat part ( 4 ) between the first and second ends ( 2, 3 ) is at least 1.5 times as long as the width (W) of the flat part ( 4 ).

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1 . A bracket for holding a suspended ceiling, comprising:
a first end configured to anchor the bracket to a building structure, and a second end to which a mounting profile is attachable on which a building panel is mountable, the bracket having a rectangular and flat part that extends horizontally between the first and second ends, a length of the rectangular and flat part between the first and second ends being about 1.5 times to about 2.5 times as long as a width of the rectangular and flat part, a mounting part located at the second end and extending in a first direction from the rectangular and flat part, a connector part located at the first end and extending in an opposite, second direction from the rectangular and flat part, and an anchor part extending from the connector part, wherein the mounting part of the bracket has a width equal to the width of the rectangular and flat part and extends perpendicular to a plane of the rectangular and flat part, the mounting part extending downwards in use, wherein the connector part is connected to the anchor part, the connector part having a width equal to the width of the rectangular and flat part and extending perpendicular to the plane of the rectangular and flat part, the connector part extending upwards in use, wherein the anchor part is a planar rectangular part, a length of the anchor part being greater than the width of the connector part, wherein a plane of the anchor part is parallel with the plane of the rectangular and flat part, the connector part being arranged centrally on a long side of the anchor part, the anchor part further comprising attachment means, wherein the attachment means are holes located at opposite ends of the anchor part, the holes configured to receive screws therein, wherein the mounting part is configured to be attached to the suspended ceiling.

2 . The bracket according to claim 1 , wherein said length of the rectangular and flat part is between 30 and 70 times a thickness of the rectangular and flat part.

3 . The bracket according to claim 1 , wherein said length of the rectangular and flat part is between 40 and 50 times a thickness of the rectangular and flat part.

4 . The bracket according to claim 1 , wherein the length of the rectangular and flat part between the first and second ends is longer than 1.6 times the width of the rectangular and flat part and shorter than 1.8 times the width of the rectangular and flat part.

5 . The bracket according to claim 1 , wherein the bracket is made of a single piece of bent metal sheet.
