Abstract

A frame is provided for holding a sheet of fabric. The frame features a rail including a first flange and a second flange spaced from the first flange. The rail defines a connector extending an entire length of the rail between the first flange and the second flange.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A frame for holding a sheet of fabric, the frame comprising:
 a rail including a first flange and a second flange spaced from the first flange, the rail defining a first connector extending an entire length of the rail between the first flange and the second flange.   
     
     
         2 . The frame of  claim 1 , wherein the first connector includes a snap-fit connector. 
     
     
         3 . The frame of  claim 1 , wherein the first connector includes a ribbed projection. 
     
     
         4 . The frame of  claim 1 , further comprising an edge cover attached to the rail with a snap-fit connection. 
     
     
         5 . The frame of  claim 4 , wherein the edge cover defines a female snap-fit connector. 
     
     
         6 . The frame of  claim 1 , wherein the rail defines at least one channel for connecting an accessory to the frame. 
     
     
         7 . The frame of  claim 6 , wherein the accessory includes at least one of a clamp for mounting the frame to a supporting structure and a connecting beam for connecting the frame to a second frame. 
     
     
         8 . The frame of  claim 1 , wherein the first flange and second flange are obliquely angled. 
     
     
         9 . A decorative display panel comprising:
 a rail including a first flange, a second flange spaced from the first flange, and a first connector between the first flange and the second flange; and   an edge cover snap-fit to the first connector.   
     
     
         10 . The decorative display panel of  claim 9 , wherein the first flange and second flange are obliquely angled. 
     
     
         11 . The decorative display panel of  claim 9 , wherein the first connector includes a snap-fit connector. 
     
     
         12 . The decorative display panel of  claim 9 , wherein the first connector includes a ribbed projection extending from the rail. 
     
     
         13 . The decorative display panel of  claim 9 , wherein the first connector extends a length of the rail. 
     
     
         14 . The decorative display panel of  claim 9 , wherein the rail defines at least one channel for connecting an accessory to the frame. 
     
     
         15 . The decorative display panel of  claim 14 , wherein the accessory includes at least one of a clamp for mounting the frame to a supporting structure and a connecting beam for connecting the frame to a second frame. 
     
     
         16 . The decorative display of claim of  claim 9 , further comprising a first decorative sheet connected to the first flange and a second decorative sheet connected to the second flange. 
     
     
         17 . A false ceiling comprising:
 a rail defining a first flange, a second flange spaced from the first flange, and a first connector between the first flange and the second flange;   a first sheet connected to the first flange;   a second sheet connected to the second flange; and   an edge cover defining a second connector, the second connector engaged with the first connector.   
     
     
         18 . The false ceiling of  claim 17 , wherein the rail further defines a channel for connecting at least one of a clamp and a beam to the frame. 
     
     
         19 . The false ceiling of  claim 17 , wherein the first connector is snap-fit to the second connector. 
     
     
         20 . The false ceiling of  claim 17 , wherein the rail defines a longitudinal axis and wherein the first connector extends parallel to the longitudinal axis. 
     
     
         21 . The false ceiling of  claim 20 , wherein the first connector extends an entire length of the rail. 
     
     
         22 . The false ceiling of  claim 17 , wherein the second connector includes two spaced hooked cantilevers. 
     
     
         23 . The false ceiling of  claim 22 , wherein the hooked cantilevers extend an entire length of the edge cover.
