A textile is extended over a framework between frame profile members. Each edge of the textile is attached to a corresponding frame profile member by a tensioning profile member being spring-biased into a tensioned state. Each edge of the textile is provided with a number of holding elements arranged flexibly in relation to each other along the edge of the textile. Each holding element includes an engagement portion for insertion into a longitudinal channel of the tensioning profile member through an opening slot of the channel. In the tensioned state of the textile, a tension force of the textile acts on each holding element so that a rotational moment seeks to rotate the engagement portion about a longitudinal axis of the channel and thereby forces the engagement portion of each holding element into locking engagement with the channel.
A building panel adapted to be mounted at a ceiling or wall of a room so that a framework of the building panel has a room-facing side and a building-facing side, wherein the framework includes a peripheral frame formed by frame profile members, wherein a textile is extended over the room-facing side of the framework between the frame profile members, wherein each edge of the textile is attached to a corresponding frame profile member by means of at least one tensioning profile member being spring-biased for displacement in a tensioning direction being lateral of said frame profile member for bringing the textile into a tensioned state, and wherein said tensioning profile member has a longitudinal channel with which said edge of the textile is releasably connected, wherein each edge of the textile is provided with a number of holding elements arranged flexibly in relation to each other along the edge of the textile, in that each holding element includes an engagement portion adapted for insertion into the longitudinal channel in a lateral insertion direction of the channel, through an opening slot of the channel, and in that, in the tensioned state of the textile, a tension force of the textile acts on each holding element inserted into the longitudinal channel in such a way that a rotational moment is created that seeks to rotate the engagement portion about a longitudinal axis of the channel and thereby forces the engagement portion of each holding element into locking engagement with the channel.
A building panel according to claim wherein the back end of the engagement portion of each holding element is fixed on a respective edge of the textile or an edge of a ribbon attached to said edge of the textile.
A method of manufacturing a building panel adapted to be mounted at a ceiling or wall of a room so that a framework of the building panel has a room-facing side and a building-facing side, the framework including a peripheral frame formed by frame profile members, whereby a textile is extended over the room-facing side of the framework between the frame profile members by attaching each edge of the textile to a corresponding frame profile member by means of a least one tensioning profile member, by releasably connecting said edge of the textile with a longitudinal channel of the tensioning profile member, and by spring-biasing the tensioning profile member so that it is displaced in a lateral direction of said frame profile member and thereby brings the textile into a tensioned state, wherein providing each edge of the textile with a number of holding elements arranged flexibly in relation to each other along the edge of the textile, by inserting an engagement portion of each holding element into the longitudinal channel in a lateral insertion direction of the channel, through an opening slot of the channel, and by retaining the engagement portion of each holding element in the channel by means of a rotational moment seeking to rotate the engagement portion about a longitudinal axis of the channel of the tensioning profile member and thereby forcing the engagement portion of each holding element into locking engagement with the channel, said rotational moment being created by a tension force of the textile acting on each holding element.
