ABSTRACT:
A mounting system for mounting an object includes a plurality of framing members having a body portion and depending side walls, with at least one continuous slot running along the length of the framing member. The framing member has an inwardly directed and continuous flange running along the length thereof, and the flange and the body portion of the framing member define a groove. A plurality of connecting members for connecting adjacent framing members are provided. A plurality of cornerpieces are provided which each have inner and outer surfaces with a plastic material of high coefficient of friction located at least partially over the inner surface, each corner piece being located, in use, with its outer surface adjacent a corner connection between adjacent framing members and its inner surface with the high coefficient of friction material thereon adapted, in use, to engage the object to be mounted. The framing member and connecting pieces are slidable relative to each other so as to form a frame of desired shape and configuration. The system further comprises at least one cable extending through the framing member and connecting members so as to hold the framing members and connecting members securely and firmly relative to each other. An adjustable tensioning assembly is provided for maintaining a constant holding force of the frame around an object through an adjustment range of the assembly which corresponds to variable length of the cable(s).
