Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0508729A1] A system for framing signs or display panels has side and corner peripheral frame members (12,10), and connecting means (14) for joining the frame members end-to-end. Each frame member (10, 12) has a channel (16) for receiving an edge of a sign panel, and one or more connecting channels (18) restricted by inturned lips (20). The connecting means (14) fits and is secured, e.g. by glue or crimping, within the connecting channels (18) of adjacent frame members (10, 12), thereby bridging two frame members when placed in end-to-end abutment. The side frame members (12), but preferably not the corner frame members (10), have mounting channels (22) with inturned lips, opening away from the panel. The sign panel may be further reinforced by having one or more strengthening members secured to its reverse face. The strengthening members may have a cross-section similar to that of a side or corner frame member but without the panel receiving channel (16). <IMAGE>
