Abstract:
A method for providing a frame with a wrinkle resistant covering comprising: forming a frame of flexible material into a geometric shape; distorting said frame inwardly; adhering a covering over the distorted frame; and releasing the distortion so as to cause the covering to be under tension, wherein the distortion is caused by placing adjoining frame members into removable corner fixtures in such a manner that the interior angular relationship of each corner is less than ninety degrees causing each frame member to bow slightly inwardly; and the adhering of the covering is by placing one adhesive side of double stick tape to one side of each frame member and adhering a sheet of vinyl film which is larger than said frame to the other side of said double stick tape; and the release of distortion is caused by removing the corner fixtures from the frame corners after which excess vinyl sheet material is trimmed from the outer perimeter of said frame.
