    Abstract: A panel element includes a fabric panel, a corner gasket element and two auxiliary gaskets. The corner gasket element has a tab member and two gasket legs. Each leg extends to respective outer ends from a common intersection in a manner orthogonal to one another. The tab member extends from the intersection in a manner orthogonal to the legs. The auxiliary gaskets each have at least one gasket end positioned adjacently to a respective outer end. The fabric panel has a display face and an outer perimeter portion. The outer perimeter portion is affixed to the gasket legs and the auxiliary gaskets. The gasket legs and auxiliary gasket elements are removably insertable into a perimeter groove disposed in the closed-contour framework, thereby facilitating tensioned attachment of the fabric panel across an opening defined by the closed contour with said tab member gripably protruding outward of the display face.

    Abstract: A portable panel-frame construction kit, system and method are described. A multiplicity of elongated frame members are releasably interconnectable to form a wall frame segment having at least one aperture therethrough, wherein facing sides of the frame members are coplanar with one another and at least a pair of the frame members are disposed on opposite sides of the aperture. A gasket channel is formed at the facing side of each frame member. Each gasket channel has a respective insertion axis oriented generally parallel to its respective facing side, and may be formed by fixed engagement between a cladding element and facing side of the respective frame member. A panel member is tautly securable to the wall frame segment by initial stretching of the panel member and insertion of mounting gaskets into respective gasket channels. A pull tab may be provided to facilitate removal of the gaskets from the channels.

    Abstract: A frame connector assembly is adapted to releasably secure first and second frame members in line with one another. The connector assembly includes first and second expansion elements elastically interconnected. The second expansion element includes two hollow lobes joined by a web. When the connector assembly is received by the two frame members, threaded rotation of one or more threaded actuators forces the expansion elements apart and into engagement with opposing primary walls of the frame members. The threaded actuator also presses against the web, thereby causing resilient outward rotation of the lobes. This rotation results in compressive engagement between the outboard edges of the second expansion element and respective intermediate walls of the frame members. Thus, the connector assembly imposes locking forces to the frame members along two axes orthogonal to the main axis of the frame connector assembly. The expansion elements may have an identical extrusion cross-section.

    Abstract: Cladding elements are provided to facilitate the creation of crisp joint edges between adjacent tensioned panels on display systems built with round tubular frame members. A cladding element is elongated, and includes a pair of gasket grooves and a frame alignment channel. The alignment channel receivingly engages a portion of the outer surface of a round tubular frame member, and is affixed thereat. Each groove has a mouth portion disposed oppositely of a floor portion, and an inner wall disposed oppositely of an outer wall. The grooves securingly receive a mounting gasket of a respective fabric panel. The grooves are preferably canted toward one another. The outer walls of the grooves may define a unitary slot outward of the mouth portions. The inner walls may intersect one another, and a web portion may extend between the floor portions, thereby defining a closed contour in combination with the two inner walls.
