Abstract
A framing system for fabric signs includes a tension clip and a mandrel, which may both be used in either of two opposite orientations for securing a fabric panel to a channel frame. The tension clip has at least one leg extending away from a frame-engaging portion, the leg defining at least a portion of a longitudinal fabric-receiving channel. The frame-engaging portion has a tooth for engaging a surface of a frame channel. The mandrel is insertable into the fabric-receiving channel with an edge portion of the fabric sign wrapped around the mandrel. The mandrel has an outboard rib at each end and a pair of medial ribs inboard of the outboard ribs, so that the mandrel defines outboard recesses and a medial recess along at least one of the mandrel's sides. The recesses receive respective fabric-engaging projections that extend into the fabric-receiving channel from the leg.
