Patents Act 1990 ORIGINAL COMPLETE SPECIFICATION INNOVATION PATENT Invention title: Tensioning sheet material The following statement is a full description of this invention, including the best method of performing it known to us: 4 TENSIONING SHEET MATERIAL Technical Field of the Invention This invention relates to the tensioning of sheet material such as PVC, canvas and other textiles for forming banners, signage, vehicle graphics and the like.
00 Background Art O In this specification, where a document, act or item of knowledge is referred to or discussed, this reference or discussion is not an admission that the document, act or item of O knowledge or any combination thereof was at the priority date: 0 part of common general knowledge; or (ii) known to be relevant to an attempt to solve any problem with which this specification is concerned.
Many methods of tensioning sheet material have been proposed, some of which have employed rivets for attachment to a frame, while another has utilised rods in a peripheral hem of the sheet material for insertion into a complemental channel in the frame.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a very simple arrangement which is easy to use and which results in a firm anchor as well as an excellent aesthetic appearance.
Disclosure of the Invention According to the invention an assembly for the tensioning of sheet material in a frame 0 includes a channel in the frame adapted to receive the sheet material and a flexible strip having formations which are force-fit into the channel to hold the sheet material therein and which, on release expand against the sheet material for a positive anchorage.
In a preferred form of the invention the channel has an opening which is narrower than the channel and the strip has feet which engage under the opening when released from the step of force-fitting into the channel.
The strip may be made from a suitable polymeric material and which includes a portion insertable into the channel of the frame and a top portion which has a surface which is aesthetically chosen for the particular article involved.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION Figure 3 illustrates a simple form of frame 10 which comprises a channel with overhang 12 thereby constituting a narrow opening 14. Figures 5 and 7 are alternative shapes, each having an extension such as the arm 16 of Figure 5 or the box section 18 of Figure 7.
The strip 20 see Figures 1 and 2 is an extrusion of polymeric material which has a resilient zone 22 with feet 24. The width of the feet exceeds the width of the opening of the channel.
The sheet material is located over the frame and the strip is force-fitted into the channel to capture the sheet material 21 between the zone 22 and the channel. It may be necessary to use a mallet to effect the force-fit of the zone 22 into the channel. Once into the channel the zone 22 relaxes and engages the sheet material in the channel below the edges of the narrow opening thereof see Figure 9.
The top surface 30 of the strip may be plain or patterned to suit the requirements.
In Figure 9 it is slightly curved in cross-section and hides the channel from view.
It will be appreciated that the invention is not to be restricted to the details described above with reference to the preferred embodiments but that numerous modifications and variations can be made without departing from the spirit or scope of the invention as defined in the following claims.
The word 'comprising' or forms of the word 'comprising' as used in this description 00 and in the claims do not limit the invention claimed to exclude any variants or additions.
