A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11773591B2) describes a dynamic acoustic ceiling system designed to reduce unwanted noise or room acoustics. The system includes an acoustic ceiling tile with magnetic assemblies that allow for easy attachment to a ceiling structure without the need for tools or attachment devices. Once attached, the acoustic ceiling tile provides a reduction in unwanted noise or room acoustics.
The acoustic ceiling tile in the system is made of PET Felt material, a type of fabric made from recycled plastic bottles. The magnet retaining clip, which is part of the magnetic assemblies, is made of steel and includes a magnet retaining tab to securely hold the magnet. The magnet retaining clip also features front side and back side retaining tabs for attachment to the first location on the side of the acoustic ceiling tile.
In addition to the dynamic acoustic ceiling system, the patent also describes an acoustic ceiling tile on its own. This tile includes the same features as the system, such as the first and second locations, the magnetic assemblies, and the use of PET Felt material for the tile. The magnet retaining clip in the acoustic ceiling tile can be removed from the first location by pulling the front side retaining tabs away from the back side retaining tabs. It can then be reattached to the second location by sliding it over the tile.
Overall, this patent presents an innovative solution for reducing unwanted noise or room acoustics in a dynamic acoustic ceiling system. The use of magnetic assemblies and PET Felt material makes the system easy to install and environmentally friendly. This technology has the potential to improve acoustic conditions in various settings, such as offices, schools, and public spaces.
