FABRIC RETAINER FOR ACOUSTIC STRUCTURE AND METHODS OF INSTALLATION

摘要

Fabric retainers (100) and methods for installing the fabric retainers withi n an acoustically treated room. The fabric retainers have a fabric retaining portion (101), and a chase (126) or a raceway for running wires within the interior of the retainers. The chase has an open side which allows fasteners to be installed through the base of the retainer, and which allows for the insertion of wires into the chase. Retainers also have a retainer groove (11 2) in which an acoustical fabric is secured, and a fabric retaining pocket (114 ) to store the inserted fabric. Alternative retainer embodiments have two retainer grooves. A removable cover (140) is provided to secure the wiring within the chase, and to conceal the wiring within the chase. Also disclosed are methods for combining various retainer embodiments within a structure.
