ABSTRACT:
Apparatus is disclosed for disposing and stretching fabric about a frame, including first and second fabric locking members for releasably receiving and securing thereto the opposing peripheral edges, respectively, of a piece of fabric drawn about the frame. Each such locking member includes a support surface for receiving the frame, and a mechanism for releasably receiving and securing the fabric's edge in a manner that the fabric is disposed against the rear of the surface of the frame to facilitate the securing of the fabric by suitable fastening means, such as nails, tacks, etc. to the frame. In addition, there is provided a mechanism for independently supporting each of the first and second fabric locking members in a manner that the locking members may be variably disposed towards and away from each other to permit frames of varying sizes to be supported thereon and, upon securing the fabric to the first and second locking members, to stretch the fabric as the first and second locking members are disposed toward each other.
