Abstract
Abstract The invention pertains to a process for draping or making up wall or other surfaces by means of flexible sheets consisting in fitting, along two borders of the surface to be covered, a clamping profile part, or fixed profile part; in fitting one edge of a first fabric to a first mobile profile part clamped in waiting position to one of said fixed profile parts; in fitting the other edge of the first fabric to the other fixed profile part; in fixing one edge of a second fabric to a second mobile profile part; and in bringing successively both mobile profile parts in their final positions into said fixed profile parts, and also pertains to a device for working this process.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim
84 words
A device for draping walls and other surfaces by flexible sheets, such as fabrics, comprising at least one U-shaped fixed profile part having two legs bent one toward the other, and two lips extending laterally along one of said legs, and a U-shaped mobile profile part with a core having two V-shaped recessed ribs forming two parallel grooves on the core''s dorsal face, and a reed clamping between said lips of the first-mentioned profile part and into said grooves of the second-mentioned profile part.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
84 words
A device for draping walls and other surfaces by flexible sheets, such as fabrics, comprising at least one U-shaped fixed profile part having two legs bent one toward the other, and two lips extending laterally along one of said legs, and a U-shaped mobile profile part with a core having two V-shaped recessed ribs forming two parallel grooves on the core''s dorsal face, and a reed clamping between said lips of the first-mentioned profile part and into said grooves of the second-mentioned profile part.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
25 words
Device according to claim 1, characterized in that the curved leg of said profile part, adjacent to said lips, is shorter than the other leg.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
32 words
Device according to claim 1, characterized in that said mobile profile part shows, in unstressed state, a convex core, the curvature axis of which is located on the side of said legs.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
36 words
Device according to claim 1, characterized in that the bottom of each said groove of the mobile profile part is fitted with a pair of longitudinal lips intended to receive both the fabric and said reed.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
44 words
Device according to claim 1, characterized in that this set of components includes, in addition, a second fixed profile part and a second mobile profile part for the purpose of fastening the fabric edges opposite to those held by the two other profile parts.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
51 words
Device according to claim 5, characterized in that the second fixed profile part consists of a flat component, one face of which shows two longitudinal ribs, one straight and the other curved, the free edges of said ribs being shaped in the form of clamping heads directed one against the other.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
28 words
Device according to claim 6, characterized in that this flat component shows next to said ribs, a pair of longitudinal lips intended to receive said reed and fabric.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
38 words
Device according to claim 6, characterized in that the second mobile profile part essentially consists of a flat component whose lateral faces are each fitted with a groove of a shape corresponding to that of said clamping heads.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
33 words
Device according to claim 8, characterized in that thiS flat component shows, in addition on one of its large faces, two pairs of lips, each intended to receive a reed and a fabric.
