Abstract
A modular wall overlay system for installation on a support surface includes a frame; and a cover securely retained on the frame by a tensioning system whereby the cover is free of direct attachment to the frame but rather is retained under tension on the frame by the tensioning system. The frame includes a plurality of frame pieces and a plurality of corner brackets. The frame pieces are directly coupled to respective corner brackets but are free of direct coupling to one another.
Claims25
A modular wall overlay system for installation on a support surface comprising:
- a frame has a front face, an opposing rear face and side faces;
- and
- a cover securely retained on the frame by a tensioning system whereby the cover is retained under tension on the frame by the tensioning system, the cover extending across the front face and wrapping along an exterior of the entire side faces to the rear face;
- wherein the cover comprises a main portion and discrete edge pocket sections that are not continuous to one another so as to form an open corner and the tensioning system comprises a single cable that is routed though the edge pocket sections and extends along four sides of the frame, the tensioning system being adjustable and being located internal to the frame along the four sides of the frame.
A modular wall overlay system for installation on a support surface comprising:
- a frame;
- and
- a cover securely retained on the frame by a tensioning system that is configured to apply tension to the cover for retaining the cover on the frame;
- wherein the frame includes a plurality of frame pieces and a plurality of corner brackets, the frame pieces being directly coupled to respective corner brackets but are free of direct coupling to one another;
- wherein each of the plurality of corner brackets includes an outwardly extending post which supports a magnet at a distal end thereof, the post being located at an inner corner of the corner bracket.
A modular wall overlay system for installation on a support surface comprising:
- a frame that includes a plurality of frame pieces that define sides of the frame;
- a plurality of corner brackets that define corners of the frame, the frame pieces being directly coupled to the corner brackets but are free of direct coupling to one another such that the frame pieces are not in contact with one another in the corners of the frame, wherein each of the plurality of corner brackets is defined by a first side wall and a second side wall that meet in a first corner of the corner bracket;
- a plurality of elastic corner inserts that are disposed in each corner of the frame within open spaces between ends of the frame pieces to complete the corners of the frame, wherein each corner insert abuts the first corner of one respective corner bracket of the plurality of corner brackets and an outer surface of each corner insert defines an outer corner surface of the frame;
- and
- a cover securely yet detachably retained on the frame such that the cover extends across a front face of the frame and extends along side faces of the frame.
