ABSTRACT:
A framing system is disclosed for demountable walls or the like in which the frame member provides a substantially continuous backing surface to engage the back sides of panels along abutting edges thereof. Such frame member is provided with separate locking means at spaced intervals along the backup surface having locking portions which project into the edges of abutting panels to retain the panels against the backing surface. Such locking means are proportioned to fit into kerfs formed in the edges of the panel and are shaped to provide a camming action to press the back sides of the panel into snug engagement with the backup surface. The framing members may be, for example, furring strips formed of metal to secure the wall to a foreign wall, or a stud providing opposed backup surfaces for use in a wall providing panels along both sides thereof. In one form of the invention, the locking means are formed by integral tabs cut from the material of the backup surface so that the locking means do not require any additional material. In another form of the invention, the locking means are formed as separate clips which can be mounted along the backup surface at intervals. In the latter form of the invention, the framing member can be used, without such locking clips, with standard drywall construction, or may be used with locking clips for a demountable wall construction.
