ABSTRACT:
A frame assembly for mounting and displaying a sheet of decorative fabric. The assembly is constituted by a set of four mitered pieces joined together at their corners by reinforcing snap-in elements to form a frame whose dimensions fall somewhat short of the sheet dimensions to an extent equal to the margins of the fabric sheet. Each frame piece is formed by an extruded molding having resilient inlet jaws which lie adjacent to the junction of the outer edge and the back of the molding and communicates with an internal storage channel running the full length of the molding. Also running the full length of the molding on the front face thereof is a band of pressure-sensitive adhesive having a peel-off cover. Formed in the back is a longitudinally-extending keyway. Each snap-in element has a right angle triangle formation with a triangular well that fits within the mitered corner at the rear to define right angle shoulders that overlie the corner, the shoulders being provided with splines projecting therefrom that snap into the keyways of the pieces forming the corner. To mount the fabric sheet over the frame, the ends of the sheet are secured to the adhesive bands and the margins thereof are forced through the inlet jaws into the storage channels.
