The present invention relates to a scalable suspension system for domed
shaped ceilings that includes a framework of suspension members
interconnected to a central hub. The framework of suspension members are
used to support a domed shaped ceiling fabricated from plaster or gypsum
wallboard. The suspension members include primary spoke members, secondary
spoke members, intercostal members and cross tees. The primary spoke
members are attached to the central hub component. The intercostal members
are spanned between the primary spoke members. The secondary spoke members
are connected to the intercostal members, and extend between the primary
spoke members. The primary and secondary spoke members are interconnected
by the cross tees to create a unified structure. The hub includes radially
indexed integral tabs that facilitate the attachment of the hanger wires
and allows for the rigid attachment of the primary spoke members in a
precise radial pattern.
