A frame assembly for supporting a flat article. In one aspect, the frame assembly may include a stack including a transparent window panel and a frame. The frame may include a floor structure for supporting the stack and an outer annular wall coupled to and surrounding the floor structure, the outer annular wall including a plurality of corners, an outer surface defining a periphery of the frame, an inner surface defining a display cavity, and a front edge that defines a display opening configured to allow the stack to pass therethrough into the display cavity. The inner surface of the outer annular wall may include a plurality of recessed regions, each of the recessed regions encompassing one of the corners of the outer annular wall.

The invention relates to a frame which may be easily assembled and includes a plurality of frame members in an unassembled state. Each of the frame members has a back, a first side having a first angle, and a second side having a second angle. The first angle and the second angle are supplementary angles. The frame also includes a plurality of adhesive portions and/or connectors which are attached to the back of the frame members. The opposite surface of the adhesive portions include a re-attachable adhesive enabling individual frame members to be pressed onto a wall surface to form the frame. An item is disposed between the back of the frame members and the wall surface. The frame members may be independently removed from the wall surface for repositioning, or the frame as a whole may be removed for repositioning on the wall surface.

An article for hanging on a support surface includes a substrate having a first end and a second end. The article includes a pair of rails with each rail including a recessed channel that extends in a longitudinal direction. A pair of splines is provided with each spline including a raised ridge that extends in a longitudinal direction. The raised ridge is inserted into the recessed channel. The article also includes a first pair of end caps. An elongated hanging element passes through the slots of the first pair of end caps. Wherein in an assembled state, one rail and one spline are disposed adjacent one another such that the raised ridge is at least partially inserted into the recessed channel and the substrate is captured within the recessed channel and the first pair of end caps are disposed over opposite ends of the one rail and one spline to join and hold the one rail and one spline against one another with the substrate captured therebetween.

A poster frame assembly includes a base frame having a front side, back side and sidewalls with a thickness, a plurality of cover members pivotally connected to the base frame at the top portion of the sidewall, and a pair of upright side rails interconnected by a bottom rail disposed on the back side of the base frame and shaped to define a channel configured to slidably receive a display sheet. A method of using the poster frame assembly of the present invention is also disclosed.

The present disclosure is directed to a mounting bracket assembly for displaying a banner including a base plate having a proximal end and a distal end. The base plate includes a first clamping surface, an upwardly-extending stretch arm at the distal end of the base plate, and a vertical channel disposed between the first clamping surface and the upwardly-extending stretch arm. Additionally, the mounting bracket assembly includes a clamping arm removably coupled to the base plate. The clamping arm has a proximal end and a distal end. In some examples, the clamping arm includes a second clamping surface and a downwardly-extending stretch arm disposed at the distal end of the clamping arm. The downwardly-extending stretch arm may be configured to extend into the vertical channel of the base plate. The mounting bracket assembly may further include a cover configured to couple to the base plate over the clamping arm.

A planar display communication board includes a frame having a plurality of sides, at least one of the plurality of sides includes a cover member hingedly connected to a functional member, the cover member having a raised position and a closed position, and the functional member including a slot and a shelf. A substrate base sheet is held within the slot of the functional member and an erasable sheet is positioned directly over a flexible media sheet and supported by the shelf. When the cover member is in the raised position, the erasable sheet and the flexible media sheet abut for alignment against shelf post extension; and when the cover member is in the closed position, the cover member compresses the erasable sheet and the flexible media sheet against the substrate base sheet away from at least one edge of the erasable sheet and the flexible media sheet.

Provided is a structure of a non-interference front-surface opening and closing-type frame, which is advantageous in that, since a cover frame can be conveniently coupled right beneath a fixing frame, assembly of the cover frame and the fixing frame is substantially facilitated, it becomes easier to prevent the cover frame from being separated from the fixing frame by an external impact, and the vertical width between the lower portion of a rotating shaft of the cover frame and the lower portion of a compression piece is substantially reduced, thereby realizing slimness.

A frame apparatus for displaying an article. The frame apparatus includes a frame having a rabbet and a channel having a channel axis formed into a wall of the rabbet. A stack is positioned within the rabbet for display. The stack may include a glazing, an article for display, and a backer panel. A clip member is slidably coupled to the frame within the channel such that the clip member can slide within the channel along the channel axis while remaining coupled to the frame. The clip member has a hanging feature. Thus, the clip member serves the dual purpose of securing the stack within the rabbet and also providing the hanging feature for the frame. Furthermore, the clip member functions as a built-in self-leveling feature because it can slide within the channel thus ensuring that the frame is hung in a level manner.
