ABSTRACT:
A tensioned fabric sign having a peripheral frame and a sheet of indicia bearing fabric stretched thereon. The margins of the fabric are retained in longitudinal frame recesses by tension clips having teeth in ratcheting engagement with closely spaced grooves formed within the frame recess. The clips are configured with a fabric grasping recess along the extent of the clip innermost of the recess and with teeth along the extent of the clip outermost of the recess. Tension in the fabric tightens the grasp of the clip on the fabric margin and urges the clip teeth into engagement with the frame recess grooves. An intermediate frame member having a pair of recesses for retaining the margins of two sheets of sign fabric is also disclosed.
