    (54) Artist's framing arrangement


    (57) An artists' sectional stretcher with canvas, in which use is made of resilient elements (4; 17) serving simultaneously for the removable fixing of the canvas (3) to the support stretcher (2) and for the elastic pre-­stressing or tensioning of the said canvas (3) on the said stretcher (2). The support stretcher (2) is of the rigid type and the canvas can slide on the stretcher for the purposes of continuous positioning thereof under a given tension exerted by the springs (4; 17). The support stretcher (2) may advantageously consist of sides (5) which can be obtained from extruded plastic profiles. The use of stiffening diagonals (11) is envisaged.
