A track assembly for supporting fabrics includes first and second tracks each having one-half of a hinge and one-half of a snapping clamp which, when interfaced, become a hinged clamp. When snapped or clamped together, the tracks tighten and securely clamp fabric to be hung on a wall. The track assembly includes a resilient longitudinal edge and a longitudinal flange spaced inward the edge which configuration allows for the facile creation of tight seams between pieces of fabric along longitudinal edges of respective clamps.

[ What is claimed is:] [1.] A track assembly for supporting fabric on a surface, the assembly comprising:a first track having one longitudinal edge defining a first half of a hinge, and an opposite longitudinal edge of the first track defining a first half of a snapping clamp;fasteners for securing the first track to the surface; anda second track having one longitudinal edge defining a second half of the hinge, an opposite longitudinal edge extending generally perpendicular to a primary plane of the second track, and a longitudinal flange spaced inwardly from and parallel to the opposite longitudinal edge of the second track, the flange defining a second half of the snapping clamp;whereby after securement of the first track to surface the second track can be hinged to the first track by coupling the second half of the hinge with the first half of the hinge, the second track then being swingable about the hinge away from the surface to facilitate placement of a sheet of the sheet of fabric over the opposite longitudinal edge and flange of the second track, and subsequent swinging of the second track into opposing relationship to the first track causing the second half of the snapping clamp to snap over the first half of the snapping clamp to secure the fabric between the second and first snapping clamps and simultaneously stretch and lock the fabric to the first track along the entire opposite longitudinal edge of the first track.
