Fabric tile construction

Abstract

A fabric tile which is formed of a metal pan having tightly stretched thereover a fabric sock (22). The fabric sock (22) is attached to the metal pan by way of mounting or attachment clips (30) which are sewed and glued to edge portions of the fabric sock (22) and which are engaged over terminal return flanges of the metal pan. Each clip (30) is elongated and extends a major portion of an edged dimension of the metal pan and is of a J-shaped cross section. Each clip (30) includes an elongated stem (34) which terminates in a generally U-shaped hook (36). The hook (36) includes a first leg (38) which is a continuation of the stem (34) and a second leg (40) disposed in spaced parallel relation to the first leg (38) by way of an integral base (42). The second leg (40) has a terminal free edge portion (44) which is flared relative to the first leg (38) so as to facilitate engagement of the clip (30) with the metal pan.
