ABSTRACT:
A needlepoint fabric mount includes two fabric support bars and two parallel side rails for supporting the bars in spaced position to hold the sheet of fabric in taut condition between the bars. Each bar holds the fabric by an elongate longitudinal slot with an elongate rigid locking bar inserted into the slot and for locating the strip therein. The bar and the slot are shaped such that the bar can be loosely inserted into the slot through the open mouth on top of the strip and such that tension in the fabric from one side of the transverse member pulls one side of the bar member into engagement with an adjacent slot side to pinch the fabric between the bar and the slot side. The bar is triangular in cross-section and the slot side is inclined from the surface of the transverse member at an angle greater than ninety degrees. The side rails and the bars are rectangular in cross-section defining a side containing the fabric. Each of the side rails includes a guide slot and at least one of the transverse members includes opposed portions thereof engaging into respective ones of the guide slots for longitudinal sliding movement therealong. One of the transverse members is mounted for course adjustment in the longitudinal direction and the other of the transverse members is arranged for fine adjustment in the longitudinal direction.
