Patent ID: 8240072

Claim:
A groove-mount fabric display system comprising: (a) an outer frame element having a main axis, a multiplicity of sides distributed thereabout, an inboard surface and a first peripheral edge, said sides being thin-walled and generally defining the lateral periphery of a cavity, said cavity having a first axial opening; (b) an insert frame element having a substrate portion and a spacer portion, said insert frame element being adapted to be axially inserted into said cavity and placed in a deployed configuration wherein said spacer portion is generally disposed between said substrate portion and said inboard surface, thereby forming a first groove generally proximate said first peripheral edge, said first groove opening in substantially the axial direction; (c) a first display panel having a first display portion and a first mounting gasket flexibly connected thereto, said first display portion being substantially flexible, said first mounting gasket being adapted to be inserted into said first groove, thereby supporting said first display portion in tension across said first axial opening; and (d) a first compression tube, said first compression tube being elongated with two first opposed ends, said first compression tube being adapted to be snugly positioned within said cavity such that one or both said first opposed ends continuously urge said inner frame element toward said inboard surface.
