Claim 1
Independent Claim
156 words
A method of vertical display of wall paneling, comprising the steps of : a. placement of a plurality of channel-shaped frame segments perimetrically about two back-to-back sheets of wall paneling, in order to form a complete frame about such units of said paneling; b. formation of a plurality of pairs of aligned holes in both said frame segments and said wall paneling respectively, the second of each of said holes lying at the interface between said two sheets of paneling; c. inserting and tightening, into said aligned holes, a corresponding plurality of screws such that an expansion of the edges of said paneling against said channel-shaped frame segments is achieved, thereby securing said panels within said channel-shaped frame segments; and d. press-fittably securing adjacent portions of a plurality of units of said framed panels within a plurality of variously configured angled channels so as to thus obtain a free-standing wall system of virtually any desired configuration.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
156 words
A method of vertical display of wall paneling, comprising the steps of : a. placement of a plurality of channel-shaped frame segments perimetrically about two back-to-back sheets of wall paneling, in order to form a complete frame about such units of said paneling; b. formation of a plurality of pairs of aligned holes in both said frame segments and said wall paneling respectively, the second of each of said holes lying at the interface between said two sheets of paneling; c. inserting and tightening, into said aligned holes, a corresponding plurality of screws such that an expansion of the edges of said paneling against said channel-shaped frame segments is achieved, thereby securing said panels within said channel-shaped frame segments; and d. press-fittably securing adjacent portions of a plurality of units of said framed panels within a plurality of variously configured angled channels so as to thus obtain a free-standing wall system of virtually any desired configuration.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
35 words
The method as recited in claim 1 in which said method further comprises the step of placing resilient grommets beneath areas of those frame segments not secured within one or more of said angled channels.
