Provided is a canvas frame including a first frame which is made of a metal material and connected, formed in a rectangular frame shape, and provided so that a part of a front surface is in contact with a canvas, and has a body part in which the inside is hollowed and inner and outer fastening parts connected to inner and outer surfaces of the body part, respectively; and a second frame which is made of a foam synthetic resin and has an insertion groove formed on the upper portion so that the body part is inserted, a support part formed so that an edge of the canvas is fixed and supported to the lower portion thereof by a fixing member, and inner and outer insertion parts which are formed on inner and outer surfaces of the support part, respectively, to be inserted and fastened to the inner and outer fastening parts.

A rotating painting apparatus includes a plurality of painting stations rotatably mounted to a base plate and each station having 2, 3, 4, or more faces on which to apply paint. A painting station includes a drive shaft rotatably coupled to the base plate. Rotation of the drive shaft causes the painting station to swivel, i.e., to rotate. The stretched frame member includes upstanding side support members extending from the bottom wall and about which a length of canvas may be stretched to form a painting station having two faces (front and rear), three faces (triangular), or four faces (cube), and so on. A chain drive operated by a drive motor enables all of the frame assemblies to be rotated together. The apparatus may include a motion sensor operable to actuate the motor and drive shaft to cause rotation when motion is detected.

A method for mounting a sheet delimited by edges substantially in a plane, the method involving providing a plurality of corner segments on the back of the sheet at least in the vicinity of corners between two edges; and connecting the corner segments by fitting at least one mounting member in between the corner segments, attaching each corner segment to a connection member, which is flexible and glued to the back of the sheet, and subsequently forcing the corner segments apart outwardly substantially in the plane.

A diamond art kit includes a diamond art canvas which includes a layer of adhesive. A protective film having perforated tear lines releasably covers the adhesive. The protective film is divided into several sections defined by the tear lines. A user can tear the protective film along the tear lines so as to remove only a chosen section of the protective film. This will expose a working portion of the canvas adhesive corresponding to that chosen section, but the protective film will remain in place protecting the remaining adhesive. The user can then place drills in the working portion of the canvas.

A platen and hoop configured to securely hold a garment in place on a platen. The platen and hoop can be used for automated printing of graphics, such as by direct to garment printing (DTG). The hoop has downward extending hoop sidewalls that can surround the platen structure when the hoop is fitted onto the platen. The platen has platen sidewalls that are hinged to a base of the platen, and which rotate upward to hold a fabric workpiece against the hoop sidewalls to securely hold the fabric workpiece during printing. The platen sidewalls can be formed with inward protruding tabs or feet located at their base, and which cause the platen sidewalls to rotate upward when engaged by the hoop sidewalls.

A canvas frame includes an outer frame, a shoulder portion and a canvas. The outer frame includes a front surface facing a front side, a back surface facing a back side, and an interior wall extending between the front and back surfaces and surrounding an interior. The shoulder portion extends from the interior wall into the interior and includes a front surface facing the front side that is recessed from the front surface of the outer frame. The canvas is stretched across the interior and attached to the front surface of the shoulder portion using a plurality of fasteners. Each fastener has an exposed portion. A peripheral edge portion of the canvas includes scalloped portions between adjacent fasteners where the canvas sags toward the interior due to tension in the canvas between opposing fasteners.

A frame assembly includes a frame base and a rear panel including a plurality of side walls that are configured to be received within a plurality of side walls of the frame base. Along an external surface of each side wall of the rear panel there is at least one locking tab that is configured for reception within one corresponding locking opening of the frame base when the rear panel is inserted into the frame base so as couple the rear panel to the frame base in a snap-fitting manner and permit a canvas substrate to be captured therebetween for holding the canvas substrate across a front face of the frame base.
