The panel includes a frame formed by profile members (6) and a plate member (10) extending therebetween. A textile (11) extends between the profile members which are formed by bending an edge area of a metal plate (15) forming the plate member (10), thereby forming said profile members in one piece with the plate member. Said edge area forms a rounded edge (16) connecting the plate member with the profile member. The profile member includes a first oblique section (21) of the metal plate forming an acute angle with the plate member and having a first end being connected to the rounded edge. The textile is bent about the rounded edge, and an edge element (24) attached along an edge (12) of the textile is adapted to slide along the first oblique section and is spring-biased in the direction of a second end (23) of the first oblique section.
A building panel (1) adapted to be mounted at a ceiling or wall of a room so that a framework (2) of the building panel has a room-facing side (3) and a building-facing side (4), wherein the framework (2) includes a peripheral frame (5) formed by frame profile members (6, 7, 8, 9) and a plate member (10) extending between the frame profile members, wherein a textile (11) is extended over the room-facing side (3) of the framework (2) between the frame profile members (6, 7, 8, 9), and wherein each edge (12) of the textile (11) is attached to a corresponding frame profile member (6, 7, 8, 9) by means of a spring-biased tensioning mechanism (13), characterised in that at least some of the frame profile members (6, 7, 8, 9) are formed by bending a corresponding edge area (14) of a metal plate (15) forming the plate member (10), thereby forming said frame profile members (6, 7, 8, 9) in one piece with the plate member (10), in that said edge area (14) of the metal plate (15) forms a rounded outer edge (16) connecting a room-facing side (17) of the plate member (10) with a building-facing side (20) of the corresponding frame profile member (6, 7, 8, 9), in that the building-facing side (20) of the corresponding frame profile member (6, 7, 8, 9) includes a first oblique plate section (21) of the metal plate (15) forming an acute angle (A) with the plate member (10) and having a first end (22) and a second end (23), the first end (22) being connected to the rounded outer edge (16), in that the textile (11) is bent about the rounded outer edge (16) of said profile members (6, 7, 8, 9), and in that an edge element (24) attached along the corresponding edge (12) of the textile (11) is adapted to slide along the first oblique plate section (21) of the metal plate (15) and is spring-biased in a direction of the second end (23) of the first oblique plate section (21) of the metal plate (15), wherein the edge element (24) is spring-biased by means of a plurality of spring elements (27) extending through corresponding cut-outs (28) in said edge area (14) of the metal plate (15).
A method of manufacturing a building panel (1) adapted to be mounted at a ceiling or wall of a room so that a framework (2) of the building panel has a room-facing side (3) and a building-facing side (4), the framework (2) including a peripheral frame (5) formed by frame profile members (6, 7, 8, 9) and a plate member (10) extending between the frame profile members, whereby a textile (11) is extended over the room-facing side (3) of the framework (2) between the frame profile members (6, 7, 8, 9), and whereby each edge (12) of the textile (11) is attached to a corresponding frame profile member (6, 7, 8, 9) by means of a spring-biased tensioning mechanism (13), characterised by bending at least some edge areas (14) of a metal plate (15) forming the plate member (10), thereby forming corresponding frame profile members (6, 7, 8, 9) in one piece with the plate member (10), by forming, in said respective edge areas (14) of the metal plate (15), a rounded outer edge (16) connecting a room-facing side (17) of the plate member (10) with a building-facing side (20) of the corresponding frame profile member (6, 7, 8, 9), so that the building-facing side (20) of the corresponding frame profile member includes a first oblique plate section (21) of the metal plate (15) forming an acute angle (A) with the plate member (10) and having a first end (22) and a second end (23), the first end (22) being connected to the rounded outer edge (16), by bending the textile (11) about the rounded outer edge (16) of said profile members (6, 7, 8, 9), by adapting an edge element (24) attached along the corresponding edge (12) of the textile (11) to slide along the first oblique plate section (21) of the metal plate (15), and by spring-biasing the edge element (24) in a direction of the second end (23) of the first oblique plate section (21) of the metal plate (15) by means of a plurality of spring elements (27) extending through corresponding cut-outs (28) in said edge areas (14) of the metal plate (15).
A building panel (1) adapted to be mounted at a ceiling or wall of a room so that a framework (2) of the building panel has a room-facing side (3) and a building-facing side (4), wherein the framework (2) includes a peripheral frame (5) formed by frame profile members (6, 7, 8, 9) and a plate member (10) extending between the frame profile members, wherein a textile (11) is extended over the room-facing side (3) of the framework (2) between the frame profile members (6, 7, 8, 9), and wherein each edge (12) of the textile (11) is attached to a corresponding frame profile member (6, 7, 8, 9) by means of a spring-biased tensioning mechanism (13), characterised in that at least some of the frame profile members (6, 7, 8, 9) are formed by bending a corresponding edge area (14) of a metal plate (15) forming the plate member (10), thereby forming said frame profile members (6, 7, 8, 9) in one piece with the plate member (10), in that said edge area (14) of the metal plate (15) forms a rounded outer edge (16) connecting a room-facing side (17) of the plate member (10) with a building-facing side (20) of the corresponding frame profile member (6, 7, 8, 9), in that the building-facing side (20) of the corresponding frame profile member (6, 7, 8, 9) includes a first oblique plate section (21) of the metal plate (15) forming an acute angle (A) with the plate member (10) and having a first end (22) and a second end (23), the first end (22) being connected to the rounded outer edge (16), in that the textile (11) is bent about the rounded outer edge (16) of said profile members (6, 7, 8, 9), and in that an edge element (24) attached along the corresponding edge (12) of the textile (11) is adapted to slide along the first oblique plate section (21) of the metal plate (15) and is spring-biased in a direction of the second end (23) of the first oblique plate section (21) of the metal plate (15), wherein the first end (22) of the first oblique plate section (21) of the metal plate (15) is connected to the rounded outer edge (16) by means of a first intermediate plate section (25) extending at an angle in relation to the first oblique plate section (21) or extending at least substantially in parallel to the plate member (10), wherein the first intermediate plate section (25) and the plate member (10) tapers in relation to each other in a direction of the rounded outer edge (16) or the first intermediate plate section (25) extends in parallel to the plate member (10), wherein adjacent first and second frame profile members (7, 8) formed by bending corresponding edge areas (14) of the metal plate (15) forming the plate member (10) are mutually connected by means of a corner piece (26) fitting between the plate member (10) and the respective first intermediate plate sections (25) of the first and second frame profile members (7, 8), said corner piece (26) preferably being a massive element and preferably being produced by moulding, wherein the edge element (24) is spring-biased by means of a plurality of spring elements (27) extending through corresponding cut-outs (28) in said edge area (14) of the metal plate (15).
