The invention relates to a device for draining a liquid, in particular rainwater, from a first film layer (4) which forms at least one part of a building cladding element. A first valve element (26) can be arranged in the region of a first opening (22) provided in the first film layer (4) such that the valve element can be pivoted between a first position, which closes the first opening (22), and a second position, which at least partly releases the first opening (22). Additionally, first opening and closing means (30, 32, 34) which can be attached to the first film layer (4) are provided, said means being designed to keep the first valve element (26) in the first position as long as the pressure (40a) of a liquid (40) which has arrived on the upper face of the first film layer (4) is less than a specified first threshold or maximally equal to said threshold, said pressure acting on the first valve element (26), allow the first valve element (26) to pivot from the first position to the second position if the liquid (40) pressure (40a) acting on the first valve element (26) exceeds the first threshold, and pivot the first valve element (26) from the second position to the first position after the liquid (40) pressure (40a) acting on the first valve element (26) is substantially no longer present.

The fabric mounting system (1) includes a mounting profile (4) adapted to be mounted to a wall or ceiling and at least one fabric retaining element (5) engaging the mounting profile and being adapted to retain an edge (6) of the fabric (2). First and second supporting faces (9, 10) of the mounting profile (4) are mutually tapered in such a tapering direction (T) that a resilient bias of first and second legs (7, 8) of the fabric retaining element (5) urges the first and second legs (7, 8) to slide along the first and the second supporting faces (9, 10), respectively, to thereby displace the fabric retaining element in a direction generally against the tapering direction (T) and in a fabric tensioning direction (F) being transverse to a longitudinal direction (L) of the mounting profile (4) in order to stretch the fabric (2) in its retained position.

A ceiling panel according to the present invention has opposed translucent membranes secured in a tensioned state across a perimeter frame. The frame includes frame members that are designed to oppose inward bowing of the perimeter frame caused by the tensioned membranes. The frame members have a side profile shaped to conceal a grid support network with the lower translucent member extending across and about a lower edge of the perimeter frame. The invention also includes a modified structure for supporting of translucent panels below a grid network.

A mounting frame (100) which can be attached to a ceiling (3) and comprises an assembly of basic profiles (10) comprising a housing (14) for receiving an edge of a covering (1) and a plurality of V-shaped or U-shaped locking clips (50) designed to enter the receiving housing (14) and remain therein in a locked position in which the edge of the covering (1) is clamped between the locking clip (50) and the housing (14). Each locking clip (50) is interposed between an insertion tool and the covering (1) and facilitates the insertion of the covering (1) into the receiving housing (14) without damaging the covering (1). The covering (1), with dimensions greater than those of the frame, can thus be completely removed and reused since the covering has not been damaged in any way, either while the covering (1) is being fitted or while being held in place.

A beam profile member intended for being secured to a wall and arranged to allow the fastening of a tensioned fabric in order to produce a false wall, the beam profile member including a flange for securing to the wall having an inside face and an outside face, characterised in that the outside face of the securing flange is provided with at least one resiliently deformable zone arranged to absorb the deformation of the securing flange generated by the pushing force applied to the inside face of the securing flange during the operation to secure the beam profile member to the wall.

A slab frame formed from abutting profile sections each comprising means for attaching at least one tensioned fabric, each profile section comprising two walls connected together by a web, wherein the web comprises two grooves each delimited by the two walls and the web, one of the grooves having an opening at an external periphery of a frame and the other groove emerging at an internal periphery of the frame, each wall being provided, at their respective end delimiting the opening of the groove, with a means for attaching a tensioned fabric, and in that at least one of the profile sections comprises light-emitting means fixed to the inside of the associated groove having an opening at the external periphery of the frame.

A device for attaching at least one cloth for producing a tensioned-cloth false partition, comprising a first profiled member forming a profiled rail comprising at least one reception groove, the reception groove being delimited by at least two lateral walls, and at least one second profiled member able to be fitted removably in the reception groove of the first profiled member, having a cross section in the form of a U or V, one of the arms of the U or V shape comprising at least one deformable longitudinal projection arranged so as to come into abutment against a wall disposed opposite the arm carrying the deformable projection when the second profiled member is in place in the reception groove of the first profiled member.

A ceiling panel according to the present invention has opposed translucent membranes secured in a tensioned state across a perimeter frame. The frame includes frame members that are designed to oppose inward bowing of the perimeter frame caused by the tensioned membranes. The frame members have a side profile shaped to conceal a grid support network with the lower translucent member extending across and about a lower edge of the perimeter frame. The invention also includes a modified structure for supporting of translucent panels below a grid network.

The building panel (1) is adapted to be mounted at a ceiling or wall of a room so that a framework (2) of the building panel has a room-facing side (3) and a building-facing side (4). A textile (5) is extended over the room-facing side (3) of the framework (2) and has a first surface (6) facing the framework (2) and a second surface (7) generally visible from said room. A mesh (8) is laminated onto the first surface (6) of the textile (5) and is attached to the framework (2) by means of a number of connectors (9). Each connector (9) has a first end (10) in the form of a gripper inserted between a part of the mesh (8) and the textile (5) and a second end (13) attached to the framework (2).

A device for attaching flexible, flat fabrics includes at least one keder rail having a keder channel in which a keder core attached to the fabric is inserted. The device includes at least one receiving profile in or on which the at least one keder rail is arranged relocatable at an adjustable height.
