Abstract
A method for mounting a sheet delimited by edges substantially in a plane, the method involving providing a plurality of corner segments on the back of the sheet at least in the vicinity of corners between two edges; and connecting the corner segments by fitting at least one mounting member in between the corner segments, attaching each corner segment to a connection member, which is flexible and glued to the back of the sheet, and subsequently forcing the corner segments apart outwardly substantially in the plane.
Claims14
A method for mounting a sheet delimited by edges substantially in a place, the method comprising:
- providing a plurality of corner segments on the back of the sheet at least in a vicinity of corners between two edges;
- interconnecting the corner segments by fitting at least one mounting member in between the corner segments;
- providing a connection member, which is flexible and glued to the back of the sheet, part of the connection member forming at least one connection region that is configured to attach one of the corner segments to the connection member, the connection region comprising at least one attachment portion that is folded or foldable towards the corner segment and out of the plane;
- attaching each of the plurality of corner segments to the at least one attachment portion that is folded out of the plane of a respective connection member;
- and
- subsequently forcing the corner segments apart in outward directions substantially along the plane,
- wherein at each corner, at least two of the connection regions are provided, which are each elongated and substantially aligned to one of the edges adjacent to the respective corner.
A mounting system configured to mount a sheet delimited by edges substantially in one plane, wherein the plane is defined by the sheet, the system comprising:
- a plurality of engagement members configured to be attached to the back of the sheet in the vicinity of corners between two edges of the sheet and
- at least one mounting member to be fitted between the engagement members,
- wherein each engagement member comprises:
- at least one main segment extending along a central part of the respective edge, and
- at least two corner segments extending on either side of the main segment up to the corners, which are pivotable in the plane with respect to the main segment while their movability in a direction at right angles to the plane is limited,
- wherein each corner segment is connectable to a connection member which is flexible and adherable to the back of the sheet, the connection member including an attachment portion that is folded or foldable towards the corner segment and out of the plane when the connection member is adhered to the back of the sheet, and the corner segment being connectable to the connection member by attaching to the attachment portion when folded out of the plane, and
- wherein at each corner, at least two connection regions are provided which are each elongated and substantially aligned to one of the edges adjacent to the respective corner, and which are substantially perpendicular to each other.
