SYSTEM FOR SUPPORTING MODULAR COMPONENTS WHEREIN THE SUPPORT HAS HORIZONTAL, VERTICAL, AND DIAGONAL GROOVES CONNECTABLE WITH PROJECTIONS ON THE COMPONENTS

摘要

Disclosed is an arrangement of supported modular components such as wall panels and tiles. The arrangement includes a support (10) in the form of a backing sheet (11) which has a front connecting face (12), and a plurality of modular components having a rear connecting face. The front and rear connecting faces co-operate to hold the faces in connection to support the modular components on the support. Cooperation between the front and rear connecting faces comprises a plurality of grooves (14) formed in the front connecting face of the support and a plurality of projections formed in the rear connecting face of the modular components. The projections of the modular components are received within the grooves of the support. A first plurality of the grooves extend parallel to each other and horizontally (15), a second plurality of the grooves extend parallel to each other and vertically (16) and a third plurality of the grooves extend parallel to each other and diagonally. The third plurality of the grooves intersects the first and second plurality of grooves.
