A reconfigurable modular display system may include one or more display apparatuses and one or more reconfigurable modular apparatuses. A reconfigurable modular apparatus may comprise one or more joining panels, and each joining panel may have a positioning surface. A display apparatus may comprise a display surface, and the display surface may be configured to be placed in contact with printed media. Preferably, each joining panel and each display apparatus may comprise a magnetic material. The display apparatus and joining panel may each comprise a magnetic material. A display apparatus may be engaged to a positioning surface of a joining panel via magnetic attraction between the magnetic material of the joining panel and the magnetic material of the display apparatus.

Embodiments disclosed herein describe fracturing methods and systems to temporarily mount an object to a flat surface without damaging the object or the flat surface.

A decorative panel that may comprise of a magnetic, metal or alloy, support structure and a covering element made with supple materials. The support structure may include a front surface, a back surface, one or more sides, one or more truncated corners, one or more bend guidelines, a central area, and one or more bendable sections. The covering element may include an obverse surface, a rear surface, and one or more edges. The covering element may cover the front surface of the support structure and fold over the sides and onto the back surface of the support structure and may be mechanically fastened to the bendable sections with mechanical fasteners. The covering element may fold over the truncated corners and onto the back surface of the support structure. The bendable sections may be bent along the bend guidelines of the support structure. Other embodiments of a decorative panel are possible.

I disclose a frameless display apparatus for flat or essentially flat artwork. The apparatus comprises a transparent envelope with flaps to fold around the edges of the flat artwork. Four perpendicular pairs of rods meet at a hub to create a T-shaped cross brace. Clips on the terminal ends of each pair of rods couple to the edges of the enclosed artwork to stabilize the artwork from twisting in place. The artwork and cross brace rest directly in a wall mount, or spaced forward of the wall with one or more interlocking forward extension elements.

Systems and kits for decorating walls include a plurality of dcor assemblies and a plurality of complementary fastening structures. The dcor assemblies include a dcor element and a releasable fastening structure providing first fastening elements. The complementary fastening structure includes a base, a pressure sensitive adhesive disposed on the base, and second fastening elements. The first fastening elements are releasably mateable with the second fastening elements to define a releasable fastening system. During use, a complementary fastening structure is releasably applied to a wall, and is connected to and supports one of the dcor assemblies via the releasable fastening system. The releasable fastening system can comprise low profile hooks and loops, exhibiting relatively low holding power.

The present invention falls within the scope of frames, in particular a frame with magnetic and printing technology. It is an object of the present invention to provide a frame on which various types of printing can be performed and which is provided with a magnetic fastening system comprised of at least two rigid parts of different dimensions and thicknesses, these being a base (1) and at least one front panel (2) on which a printing can be made and/or to which decorative elements can be attached, the front panel (2) being fixed to the base (1) by magnetic fastening means (3). The presence of magnetic fastening means (3) in the base (1) and in the front panel (2) enables simple fixing and detachment between both, allowing the front panel (2) to be replaced several times in a quick and easy manner. In addition, the present invention comprises, both at the base (1) and the front panel (2), fixing means (5) to a vertical surface.

A picture mounting apparatus comprising: a frame member, the frame member comprising: a frame front surface; a frame rear surface located on a side opposite of the frame front surface; at least one connection area located on the frame member; a connector configured to removably attach to the at least one connection area, the connector comprising: a connector front surface; a connector rear surface on a side opposite of the connector front surface; a first tab located on the connector; a second tab located on the connector; a curved slit located between the first tab and the second tab; and where the connection area is configured to removably hold one corner of a photograph. A method of mounting a picture with a picture mounting apparatus comprising inserting a connector into a connection area of a frame member, fastening a second side of an adhesive to a mounting surface, and inserting a corner of a picture into the connection area of the frame member. A method of displaying a picture comprising attaching a picture mounting apparatus to a wall with an adhesive and inserting a picture into at least one connection areas of a frame member. A connector configured to selectively attach to at least one connection area comprising a connector front surface, a connector rear surface on a side opposite of the connector front surface, a first tab located on the connector, a curved slit located between the first tab and the second tab, and the connection area comprising and opening.

An article and process for displaying items carrying or constituting magnets, such as photographs, which are magnetically mounted on sheets or other materials that contain magnetically-receptive materials. A retrofit process for transforming conventional display items into replenishable/switchable magnetic display items, also forms part of the present invention.
