Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a resilient edging strip for a panel which is designed to be quickly and easily attached to the edge of the panel in a secure manner and which in one embodiment of the invention enables flexible sheet material to be quickly and easily attached to and removed from the panel for display purposes.
  • the edging strip of the present invention is not limited to use as an edging display panel.
  • it may be used to provide a protective edging for glass panels, such as the panels used in a double glazing window system. It may also be conveniently used as an edging strip for pictures, mirrors or the like.
  • the present invention provides a one piece edging strip for a panel, the edging strip being channel shaped and having two side walls joined by a base, the side walls being adapted to receive and grip an edge of the panel, at least one of the side walls comprising an inner portion adjacent the base joined to an outer portion, characterised in that the outer portion is snap engageable from an open position in which it is bowed concavely so that its free end is spaced from the adjacent face of the panel and a closed position in which it is bowed concavely so that its free end is clamped against the adjacent face of the panel.
  • the present invention also provides a panel having edging strips as defined in the preceding paragraph attached to the edges of the panel whereby the end flaps of the side walls of the edging strips can be snapped from a position in which the end flaps are clamped against a surface of the panel into a position in which they extend away from and are spaced from the panel to enable sheet material to be attached to and removed from the panel.
  • a display panel is indicated generally at 10 and an edging strip for the display panel 10 is indicated generally at 11.
  • the panel 10 may be formed from any suitable material such as fibre board or plastics so as to be sufficiently rigid to act as a support for flexible sheet material such as a poster 12 which may carry, by way of example, advertising or sales information.
  • the edging strip 11 is generally channel shaped so as to comprise two similar side walls 13 and 14 joined by a substantially rigid base 15.
  • the side wall 13 is substantially flat and the side wall 14 comprises an inner portion 16 and an outer portion 17.
  • the inner portion 16 extends towards the opposite wall 13 and is then curved away from the wall 13 to form an elbow 16 a .
  • the end of the inner portion beyond the elbow 16 a is joined to the outer portion 17 by a resilient web 18 which is formed from a different and more resilient material than the remainder of the inner portion, which is relatively rigid.
  • the outer portion 17 incorporates a resilient hinge 19 running its full length and intermediate its breadth, a substantially rigid end flap 20 extending beyond the inner portion 16 and a rearwardly extending arm 21 which is joined to the end flap 20 by the resilient hinge 19.
  • the base 15 is formed with an extension 22 having a raised lip 23 which forms a hook adapted to releasably retain the outer end of the arm 21, as shown best in Figure 5.
  • the inner face of the inner portion 16 of the side wall 14 is formed with a projecting rib 24 and the opposite, substantially flat side wall 13 is formed with a longitudinally extending protuberance 25 which faces the rib 24.
  • the rib 24 and protuberance 25 are provided to locate a corner piece (not shown) for forming a mitred coner joint between two adjacent edging strips 11 at the corner of a display panel.
  • the base 15 is formed with two lengthwise extending side slots 26 and 27, enabling the strip 11 to be quickly and easily attached back to back to a similar edging strip, as shown in Figure 5 with the aid of clips 28, or as shown in Figure 7 with the aid of a flexible hinge 29.
  • the edging strip 11 is applied to an edge of the panel 10 by sliding the panel between the side wall 13 and the inner portion 16 of the side wall 14, so that it is gripped firmly between the elbow 16 a and the wall 13.
  • the free end of the arm portion 21 of the side wall 14 is then snap engaged over the lip 23 into the position shown in Figure 4 in which the substantially rigid flap 20 at the free end of the outer portion 17 extends outwardly away from the panel 10.
  • the sheet of flexible material 12 can then be placed against a surface of the panel 10.
  • the end flap 20 of the outer portion 16 is then pressed inwardly so that it snaps from the position shown in Figure 4 to the position shown in Figure 5 in which it clamps the flexible sheet 12 against the panel 10.
  • the resilient hinge 19 is compressed and moved outwardly.
  • the end flap 20 is snapped against the panel 10 to exert a firm clamping action on the sheet 12.
  • the end flap 20 at the free end of the outer portion is provided with a longitudinally extending protuberance 30 formed from a relatively soft plastics material to provide an adequate grip on the sheet material 12 in the closed position.
  • the display panel 10 will preferably have an edging strip attached along each side of the panel so that the panel is completely trimmed and finished by the edging strip. Posters can then be attached to a face of the panel by snapping the end flap of each strip away from the panel, laying the poster in place and then manually snapping each end flap of the outer portion of the edging strip back against the face of the panel.
  • a protective sheet of glass or clear plastics can be inserted on top of the poster and clamped in position by the edging strips.
  • the edging strip 11 is formed as a single unitary plastics moulding which makes it economic to manufacture and to assemble.
  • the flexible web 18 and the flexible hinge 19 are formed from a relatively soft polyvinyl chloride or polypropylene and the remainder of the edging strip formed from more rigid polyvinyl chloride.
  • an edging strip is indicated generally at 40 which is similar in all respects to the edging strip 11 except that both side walls 41 and 42 are similar in all respects to the side wall 14 of the edging strip 11.
  • posters or similar sheet material can be attached to both faces of the panel 10 in a similar manner.
  • the edging strip 40 is similar to the edging strip 11 and is used in a similar manner to clamp posters or other similar sheet material to the opposite faces of a panel 10.
  • clips 28 can be used to attach two of the edging strips together in a relatively rigid and secure manner.
  • a single clip 29 having a flexible hinge portion and which can be used so as to join two of the strips together in such a manner that they can be positioned at any required angle to one another.
