ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for retaining an artist panel is described as including a planar surface with a pair of slots formed therein and a pair of retaining members protruding through the pair of slots a sufficient amount to engage an artist panel. Each of the pair of retaining members is adjustable in position along the length of each of the pair of slots, respectively. The first of the pair of retaining members, when adjusted, provides a fixed abutment. The remaining retaining member includes a spring which supplies a force tending to urge it toward the first retaining member. The panel is secured to the planar surface by the tension supplied to it by the force imparted by the remaining retaining member that is then transferred through the panel and to the first retaining member as well. The pair of retaining members are adjusted in position by a corresponding pair of thumbscrews that are disposed on a cover plate that is attached to the underside of the planar surface. Each of the pair of thumbscrews cooperates with a third and a fourth slot that are provided in the cover plate.
