A straight roll formed beam for a curved suspended ceiling capable of being formed into a curve at the job site. The straight beam has cutouts that leave a segment of the bulb of the beam in place to give the straight beam rigidity after it is roll formed from metal strip. In the field, the bulb segment at a cutout is cut to permit the beam to be bent into a faceted curve. The bend at the cutout is fixed by a splice plate.
A splice plate for a faceted curved beam formed in the field from a straight beam. The splice plate can be used to fix the bends of either a convex or a concave curved beam used in the grid of a curved suspended drywall ceiling so that the cross beams in the grid are positioned in contact with the curved drywall board of the ceiling.
A clip to hold panels in place in grid openings in a suspended ceiling. The clip is integrally formed and includes relatively flexible hinges that bias relatively rigid sections against the panels.
A securing device for attaching and holding a press plate spigot to a base member of a filter press. The device includes lugs which are received through openings in the spigot, the lugs being attached to the base member levers having a crank arm made up of protruding portions and a cam surface and having the protruding portions received in cutouts of the lugs so that levers are rotated about an arc for having the cam surfaces urge and hold the spigot against the base plate.
