An over-the-door hanging apparatus which includes a mirror apparatus having a rear surface, at least one mounting element located on the rear surface of the mirror apparatus, and at least one over-the-door hanger. The over-the-door hanger may include an elongate member, a bracket for engaging a top edge of a door, a first hook punched into the elongate member and being aligned with a first aperture formed through the elongate member, and a second hook punched into the elongate member and being aligned with a second aperture formed through the elongate member. The mirror apparatus may be slidably mounted to the at least one over-the-door hanger through slidable mating between the at least one mounting element on the rear surface of the mirror apparatus and one of the first and second hooks of the at least one over-the-door hanger.

The present application relates to a paper picture frame including a central rectangular portion and four rectangular tubular frame sections extending along four margins of the central rectangular portion at the rear surface thereof. The paper picture frame further includes a paper stand for holding the paper picture frame on a flat surface. The paper stand may be in the form of a triangular tubular structure formed by a base panel, a first side panel, and a support panel. A second side panel extends from the base panel over the support panel, and has a terminating end extending beyond the first side panel. A blank for forming the paper picture frame and a method for holding a picture in the paper picture frame supported on the paper stand are also disclosed.

Presented is a Picture frame for visually displaying a picture template. The picture frame includes a base, a top cover, an internal backing, and a mat. The base includes a first side, a second side disposed opposite to the first side, and a peripheral portion extending along the entire perimeter of the first side and the second side. The first side of the base includes raised projections. An internal backing is positioned on the raised projections and the internal backing is removably connected to a magnet. The mat includes a plurality of locking tabs for releasably holding the picture template. The mat further includes a ferromagnetic metal plate. The picture frame enables quick and easy picture template replacement of picture template and the picture in the picture frame.

In a method of generating a print, an image of at least one work of art is scanned, thereby generating an artwork digital image. An image of at least one frame molding is scanned, thereby generating a molding digital image. An image of at least one matte is scanned, thereby generating a matte digital image. The artwork digital image, either scanned, imported or sourced from elsewhere, is combined with the molding digital image, and/or mat digital image, either scanned, imported, or sourced from elsewhere, thereby generating a combined image of the work of art surrounded by a frame made of the molding and/or matte. The combined image is printed onto a substrate. A system for generating printed artwork includes a scanner that is configured to scan works of art, mattes and moldings. A computer combines a digital artwork image with a digital molding and/or matte image, thereby generating a combined digital image that include an image of one of the works of art surrounded by an image of a frame made from one or multiple moldings and/or mattes. A printer prints the combined digital image onto a selected substrate.

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.

A wall-mounting brace for mirrors, artwork, and similar objects is a device that is utilized to secure an object such as a mirror to a surface such as a wall. The device features an elongated brace that is used to hold the top of the mirror to the wall while the bottom of the mirror is held in place with a fastener such as a J-channel. A plurality of fastener holes present on a mounting plate of the elongated brace is utilized to secure the elongated brace to the surface. The mirror is held in place on the surface by a retention plate and a connector plate of the elongated brace. A cover plate is utilized to selectively cover and uncover the plurality of fastener holes. The cover plate may be hingedly attached to the elongated brace or removable from the elongated brace altogether.
