FRAMING SYSTEM FOR DEMOUNTABLE WALLS OR THE LIKE ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A framing system is disclosed for demountable walls or the like in which the frame member provides a substan- tially continuous backing surface to engage the back sides of panels along abutting edges thereof. Such frame member is provided with separate locking means at spaced intervals along the backup surface having locking portions which pro- ject into the edges of abutting panels to retain the panels against the backing surface. Such locking means are propor- tioned to fit into kerfs formed in the edges of the panel and are shaped to provide a camming action to press the back sides of the panel into snug engagement with the backup sur- face. The framing members may be, for example, furring strips formed of metal to secure the wall to a foreign wall, or a stud providing opposed backup surfaces for use in a wall providing panels along both sides thereof. In one form of the invention, the locking means are formed by integral tabs cut from the material of the backup surface so that the lock- ing means do not require any additional material. In another form of the invention, the locking means are formed as sepa- rate clips which can be mounted along the backup surface at intervals. In the latter form of the invention, the framing member can be used, without such locking clips, with standard drywall construction, or may be used with locking clips for a demountable wall construction.
