Self tensioning mounting frame for sheet media
A media frame assembly for displaying a sheet of media against a mounting surface comprising a base plate and a cover plate. The base plate has multiple features so as to minimize contact with the mounting surface, space for rivet nuts, adhesive strip to secure media prior to mating with cover plate, and a channel and groove to mate with legs and protrusion from cover plate. The cover plate has multiple features so as to mate with base plate, simplify installation, and legs and protrusion to mate with channel and groove located in the base plate. The channel and groove located in the base plate operate in conjunction with legs and protrusion in cover plate to provide some tensioning of the media when the cover plate is mated to the base plate.
ADAPTABLE TENSIONED-FABRIC FRAMING SYSTEM
A support system for tensioned fabric is provided comprising two or more elongated frame members, each having an outer surface with a plurality of spaced-apart, axially-extending recesses. At least one elongated clip is associated with each elongated frame member. Each clip has a first segment configured to be received in one of the axially-extending recesses of its associated elongated frame member and a second segment configured to hold an edge of the tensioned fabric. Each elongated clip is configured to be slidably received in its associated axially-extending recess in the frame member. To this end, the first segment of each elongated clip has a cross-sectional shape complementary to a cross-sectional shape of the axially-extending recesses. In another aspect, the second segment of each clip comprises at least one pair of first and second spaced apart planar portions defining a track or slot for receiving the edge of the tensioned fabric.
SIGN MOUNTING SYSTEM AND ELONGATED SIGN MOUNTING MEMBER THEREFOR
A sign mounting system for tautly mounting a flexible material sign to an associated sign structure includes a plurality of elongated sign mounting member assemblies adapted to be mounted to the associated sign structure to define a perimeter for the flexible material sign. At least one of the plurality of elongated sign mounting member assemblies includes an elongated base member adapted to be mounted to the associated sign structure, at least one mounting spring for tautly mounting the flexible material sign to the base member, the at least one mounting spring having a first end secured to the base member and a second end secured to the flexible material sign, and an elongated cover member complementarily and removably secured to the elongated base member for covering the at least one mounting spring. The elongated cover member is flexibly hinged to the elongated base member for allowing access to the at least one mounting spring.
