ABSTRACT:
A sealing system for a multi-panel T-bar ceiling. The panels are supported upon arms of the T-bar supports and a locking system is used for sealing the peripheral edges of the panels upon the arms of the T-bar. The sealing is in compressive relation of the panels upon the arms against upward forces that might tend to move the panels off the T-bar such as in cleaning operations and the like. The locking system is comprised of an operating rod, such as a screw or the like extending through the T-bar which can turn a threaded locking member, such as a clip or the like into forceful relation against the edge of the panel into sealing engagement against the arms of the T-bar. When sealed, only the head of the screw is visible from the bottom of the panel. A resilient seal may be employed between the panel and the arm of the T-bar. The clip may be in the form of an internally threaded elongated L-shaped member which bears laterally against the T-bar when the operating rod is rotated causing the clip to move against or away from the panel. The operating rod may be rotated such that the panel may be locked or unlocked. When unlocked, the panel may be removed for servicing as desired.
