ABSTRACT:
A suspended ceiling system for suspension from an overhead ceiling of a room is disclosed which includes a plurality of wall trim members secured to the room walls, a plurality of main runner members extending from the wall trim members in a horizontal plane for spanning the room, and a plurality of cross braces interlocking with the main runner members and forming a grid for receiving ceiling tiles, panels, fixtures, and the like. A plurality of clips are slidably disposed on the wall trim members, main runner members, and the cross braces to suspend those members from the ceiling and to support the main runner members and cross braces at intersection points in the grid. In addition, for an in-place suspended ceiling framework that includes L-shaped metal wall angles secured to the walls of the room and metal main runners and metal cross braces spanning the room to form a grid beneath the ceiling, an improvement is disclosed which includes wall trim cover members for covering the metal wall angles, main runner cover members for covering the metal main runners, and cross brace cover members for covering the metal cross braces. The wall trim members, main runner cover members, and cross brace cover members preferably simulate a wood appearance and are removably attachable to the various suspended ceiling framework structural components.
