ABSTRACT:
Molding strips are provided for use in frame assemblies for supporting and securing fabric or material sheets on substrates such as walls for decorative and acoustic purposes. An outside corner molding strip is provided, as well as molding strips for use as panel edges. Each panel edge molding strip has an elongated base portion having a back side to be disposed against a surface to which the base portion is to be attached. First and second gripper walls extend substantially perpendicularly from the front side of the base portion. These walls define a space therebetween for receiving fabric material therein. The first and second gripper walls have respective confronting portions having a gripping arrangement therebetween. A fabric material is stuffed between the confronting portions and gripped therebetween, the fabric being accumulated in the space between the gripper walls. In a particularly advantageous feature of the present invention, the distance in a direction perpendicular to the base portion from the back side of the base portion to the distal end of the first gripper wall portion is substantially equal to the distance in a direction substantially parallel to the base portion from a first side edge of the base portion to a line extending substantially centrally between the confronting portions of the first and second gripper walls and substantially perpendicular to the base portion. A one inch height for the molding strips allows a panel absorber material of one inch thickness to be used, effective in absorbing speech and mechanical noise.
