ABSTRACT:
A supporting frame is provided for a light-transmitting ceiling panel, which panel extends to a vertical wall or other surface. The supporting frame is particularly designed for lighted ceilings in which light transmitting panels extend from wall to wall in a room and have sources of light thereabove. The supporting frame includes a side frame member having a horizontal flange which supports an edge of the light-transmitting panel and a vertical flange extending along a surface of the wall or vertical surface. The frame member is affixed to the vertical wall by suitable means extending through the vertical flange and the vertical flange also has indentations and/or openings to aid in affixing joint compound or the like thereto. In a preferred form, the supporting frame member has a shoulder formed at the junction of the vertical and horizontal flanges to which the joint compound or the like is spread when it is applied to the vertical flange and over the adjacent vertical surface of the wall. In a preferred form, the side frame member also has a second vertical flange which is parallel to the first and through which fasteners are also placed to further affix the frame side member to the vertical surface.
