No plans but I have wired thousands and this is what I found to be the secret.
You can make most any kind of device you wish but it must bend the side bars
inward.  I used a cam arrangement.  Now wire your fames - you need not even be
tight for when the cam is released and the sides spring back it will be tight.
It is easy to get the wire so tight that the sides remain bowed in.

Good luck.
