Mounting Assembly

Abstract

A mounting assembly is provided comprising at least one elongate mount comprising a longitudinal recess extending at least partially therealong; and a length of compressible material that is complimentary with said longitudinal recess and adapted to be received in frictional engagement therein, thereby securely retaining a sheet of material positioned in said longitudinal recess

1 . A mounting assembly comprising:
 at least one elongate mount comprising a longitudinal recess extending at least partially therealong; and   a length of compressible material that is complimentary with said longitudinal recess and adapted to be received in frictional engagement therein, thereby securely retaining a sheet of material positioned in said longitudinal recess.   
     
     
         2 . The mounting assembly according to  claim 1 , wherein the longitudinal recess extends along the length of the elongate mount. 
     
     
         3 . The mounting assembly according to  claim 1 , wherein the elongate mount has closed ends with the longitudinal recess extending between said closed ends, or open ends with the longitudinal recess extending to the open ends. 
     
     
         4 . The mounting assembly according to  claim 1 , wherein said longitudinal recess has a rectangular cross-section. 
     
     
         5 . The mounting assembly according to  claim 1 , wherein said longitudinal recess is located substantially mid-way across the width of the elongate mount. 
     
     
         6 . The mounting assembly according to  claim 1 , wherein a longitudinal lip extends along a longitudinal side of the elongate mount. 
     
     
         7 . The mounting assembly according to  claim 6 , wherein an outward facing surface of the longitudinal lip is contiguous with an outward facing surface of the elongate mount and an inward facing surface of the elongate lip is contiguous with an inner surface of said longitudinal recess. 
     
     
         8 . The mounting assembly according to  claim 1 , wherein said length of compressible material is complimentary to the longitudinal recess in length and width. 
     
     
         9 . The mounting assembly according to  claim 1 , wherein in situ the length of compressible material is hidden in said longitudinal recess, or includes knots on one or both ends thereof that extend past ends of the longitudinal recess, or includes knots on ends thereof that are captured in retaining apertures located at opposing ends of the longitudinal recess. 
     
     
         10 . The mounting assembly according to  claim 1 , wherein said length of compressible material comprises a length of round cotton cord. 
     
     
         11 . The mounting assembly according to  claim 1 , further comprising a mounting arrangement on an external surface thereof for mounting the mounting assembly on a wall. 
     
     
         12 . The mounting assembly according to  claim 11 , wherein said mounting arrangement comprises a mounting aperture adapted to be mounted on a mounting point on the wall, such as a screw or nail protruding from the wall, or comprises a hook-and-loop fastener, such as Velcro® tabs located on said external surface that are complimentary with Velcro® tabs located on the wall. 
     
     
         13 . The mounting assembly according to  claim 11 , wherein said compressible material comprises a loop of compressible material that extends along said longitudinal recess and continues to define a hanging cord to facilitate hanging of said mounting assembly. 
     
     
         14 . The mounting assembly according to  claim 13 , wherein said compressible material comprises round cotton cord. 
     
     
         15 . The mounting assembly according to  claim 1 , comprising a pair of said elongate mounts and a pair of associated complimentary lengths of compressible material, wherein in situ said pair of elongate mounts are located relative to one another by said sheet of material, retained therebetween. 
     
     
         16 . The mounting assembly according to  claim 1 , wherein said elongate mount is formed from renewable and/or recyclable materials. 
     
     
         17 . The mounting assembly according to  claim 16 , wherein the elongate mount is formed from timber.
