Panel-framing assembly and assembly method therefor
| Details |
Inventors: Ott, Donald E.;

Primary Examiner: Kannan; Philip C.

Attorney, Agent or Firm: Dressler, Goldsmith, Shore, Sutker & Milnamow, Ltd.
A panel-framing assembly using clips to secure a pair of retaining strips to a frame member, along each edge of a panel being framed, without any adhesive. Each clip has a securing portion, which is insertable into a relatively wide region of a slot in a wall of the frame member, and which is adapted to coact with the wall to secure such clip to the frame member when such clip is moved so that the securing region is admitted by a relatively narrow region of the slot. Each retaining strip has an inner leg, which is insertable between a flanged portion of each clip and the wall when such clip is secured to the wall, and an outer leg, which is generally normal to the inner leg, and which is adapted to retain a panel seated against the flanged portion by engaging a portion of one face of the panel along one edge of the panel to prevent lateral movement of the panel relative to the frame member. |

DETAILED DESCRIPTION This invention provides an assembly for framing a panel, such as a panel made predominantly of wood or of another structural or sound-absorbing material.
Such a panel framed by the panel-framing assembly provided by this invention is useful in an office partition, in an office console, such as a telemarketing console, or in a similar structure.
Broadly, the panel-framing assembly provided by this invention comprises and is assembled from a frame member, one or more clips, and a retaining strip or a pair of retaining strips.
The panel-framing assembly provided by this invention may be easily but securely assembled without any adhesive.
The frame member has a wall defining an opening for such clip.
Each clip has a securing portion, which is insertable into the opening for such clip.
Each clip is adapted to coact with the frame member wall to secure the clip to the frame member, after the securing portion of such clip has been inserted into the opening.
Each clip has a flanged portion confronting the wall, in spaced relation to the wall.
Each retaining strip has an inner leg and an outer leg, which is generally normal to the inner leg.
When inserted between the flanged portion of each clip and the wall, the inner leg is adapted to coact with the flanged portion of the clip to secure the retaining strip to the frame member.
The outer leg is adapted to retain a panel that has been seated against the flanged portion of each clip, by engaging a portion of one face of the panel along one edge of the panel to prevent lateral movement of the edge in one direction relative to the frame member.
It is preferred that the securing portion of each clip is insertable into the opening for the clip to place the clip in a first position relative to the frame member and so that the clip is movable from the first position to a second position relative to the frame member while the securing portion remains inserted in the opening.
It is preferred that the securing portion of each clip is adapted to coact with the wall of the frame member to secure the clip to the frame member in the second position
