Embodiment Construction

[0033] figure 1 A wall panel 10 is shown having a front face 12 and a return lip at a top 14 and a right hand side 16 . The wall panel 10 also has a return lip at the left hand side at figure 1 not shown in

[0034] figure 2The same wall panel 10 is shown from its rear, with a return lip 14 at the top and return lips 16, 18 at each side. Each side lip 16, 18 has three mounting clips 20 formed therein. Each of the mounting clips 20 has an upper positioning hole 22 and a lower positioning hole 24 . Towards the lower part of the wall panel 10 there is a batten 26 which may provide additional rigidity to the panel 10 and which in use separates the lower part of the panel 10 from the wall.

[0035] image 3 The same wall panel 10 is shown arranged laterally, with the return lip 18 visible. The slat 26 is shown in outline, but in reality it would be hidden behind the return lip 18 .

[0036] Figure 4 Shown is the same wall panel 10 arranged rearwardly, as with respect to ...

Abstract

The invention relates to a wall panel and an associated apparatus. The wall panel includes a front face; a return lip extending from at least one edge of the front face to define a flange lying behindthe front face; and a mounting clip formed in the flange for attaching the wall panel to a support structure, wherein the mounting clip comprises a curved formation thus having a distance from the front face that varies along its length, the formation being shaped to include a local minimum distance. The mounting clip is preferably a tab or tongue defined by a U-shaped slot cut in the flange. TheU-shaped slot can be located in the flange between a pair of through-holes or slots. We also disclose a device for shaping such mounting clips, and a method of assembling a panelled wall using such adevice to manufacture the mounting clips.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to decorative wall panels, arrangements for securing them to a support structure and associated equipment for forming them. Background technique [0002] It is often desirable to provide a wall with a pleasing aesthetic appearance by attaching the trim panel to the wall or to a support structure near the wall (we refer to both herein as the "wall"). This raises the question of how the panels are to be attached to the walls. Lightweight panels can be adhesively attached to the wall, but this can make removal difficult if repairs or maintenance to the wall or structures within it are required. Screw-type fasteners can be used by drilling holes through the board, but this is time consuming if done precisely and leaves a visually unappealing result even if efforts are made to hide the head of the fastener. [0003] There are known forms of fasteners that are not visible from the exterior face of the paneled wall and, therefo...
