  • Publication number: 20210049941
    Abstract: A fixing frame (10) allowing easy and quick assembly and disassembly of a stretched flexible covering, in particular a textile frame for an advertising medium. The frame comprises an assembly of rigid base profiles (11) and flexible holding profiles (31), fitted onto the base profiles (11), to create an attached but removable clamping system (30). The base channel (11) has a first parallel groove (16) and a second groove (17), and the support profile (31) has a first wing (32) and a second wing (33) extending into two directions. The first wing (32) cooperates with the first groove (16) to form the clamping system (30), and the second wing (33) is fitted into the second groove (17) of the base section (11) to create a fixed but removable connection of the holding profile (17).

  • Patent number: 10774539
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 7111434
    Abstract: The invention concerns a method for producing a panel substantially stretched on a frame stretched homogeneously in all directions. The panel (1) is obtained from a sheet cut out in web of soft textile material produced from knitted synthetic textile yams forming deformable stitches in all directions. The textile web is coated with a coating mixture comprising an elastomeric polymerized polymer and a covering coloring substance. The peripheral edges of the sheet are engaged in retaining profiled sections (2) forming a closed frame (2) fixed on a support (3). Said sheet is stretched by local heating in at least a zone causing it to be heat-shrunk and stretched on the frame (2). The invention is applicable to false ceilings, advertising boards, and all types of wall decorations.
