A framed collectible for displaying a continuously-looping playback of a digital video file is provided, wherein a display panel is controlled by a display controller to play at least one video file in a continuous loop on the display panel only while an output signal from a magnet sensor indicates no proximity to a magnet proximal to the back side of the display panel. The display controller has a printed circuit board that incorporates at least one processor and at least one memory that contains at least one video file. The memory, which in an embodiment can be flash memory, is factory programmed and therefore the memory content cannot be changed by an end user. Packaging for storage and shipping of the framed collectible is also provided, which incorporates a magnet that is sensed by the magnet sensor to keep continuously-looping video playback switched off while the device is stored.

A changeable frame allows exhibits presented therein to be exchanged in a simplified manner. The frame includes a frame element surrounding a frame opening in which the exhibit is visible from an observer side. A recess in the frame element leads from a lateral outer surface to an opposite inner surface of the frame element and opens into the frame opening for insertion of the exhibit into and removal of the exhibit from the frame opening. A drawer slidably mounted in the recess has a receptacle for positioning the exhibit. The drawer is slidable between an insertion position, in which the exhibit is visible in the frame opening, and a removal position, in which the receptacle of the drawer is outside of the frame element for the removal of the exhibit from the receptacle.

A frame apparatus having an adjustable hanging height. The frame apparatus may include a frame having a mounting member thereon. The mounting member may extend along an axis and have a plurality of mounting elements located on opposite sides of the axis in an axially spaced apart manner. Furthermore, a mounting bracket is configured to be coupled to a support surface (i.e., a wall) and to the mounting member. The mounting bracket may extend along an axis and have a plurality of mounting elements located on opposite sides of the axis in an axially spaced apart manner. The frame may be hung from the support surface by engaging a subset of the mounting elements of the mounting member with the mounting elements of the mounting bracket. The mounting member and the mounting bracket may collectively form a hanging assembly for the frame apparatus.

A frame adapted and configured to receive and contain multiple planar or substantially planar objects in a housing with a frame including a set of spring biased panels. Objects can be inserted into the housing via a slit in the frame or a removable section of the frame. In some embodiments, one more components of the housing can be selectively removed to facilitate the insertion and/or removal of one or more of the planar or substantially planar objects.

A cube-shaped display article includes an inner cube-shaped base and a first image substrate that is formed of a plurality of individual image receiving sections that are arranged in a first pattern, such as a cross shape. The first image substrate having a plurality of crease lines to permit folding of the individual image receiving sections of the first image substrate for positioning the individual image sections against corresponding faces of the inner cube-shaped base. An outer hollow cube-shaped cage for placement over the inner cube-shaped base. The outer hollow cube-shaped cage captures the first image substrate which is located between the outer hollow cube-shaped cage and the inner cube-shaped base and serves to press the individual images against the corresponding faces of the inner cube-shaped base.

A hinged collage frame has hinge areas at the top and bottom, formed by curved edges. The hinging allows the collage frame to hinged to either an inner wall surface corner and outer wall corner or to stand up straight, or to lie flat. The hinging is carried out by having edges which are curved, where one curved convex edge moves relative to another curved concave edge.

A modular photograph display system is provided. The display system can include one of more modular illuminated photograph display assemblies including a frame, base, and a post therebetween. The frame can include a frame back, illumination panel, photograph matte, window, clip assemblies, and cover. The clip assemblies can secure the window and matte against the frame back, such that a photograph can be inserted therebetween, and can magnetically secure the cover to the frame back. The base can include an LED driver and a controller for controlling one or more illumination panels. The bases of two or more modular photograph display assemblies can be coupled together to form an assembly of display assemblies. Additional frames and posts can added on top of the frames of the modular display assemblies to further increase the number of photographs that can be displayed.

Packaging for storage and shipping of the framed collectible is also provided, which incorporates a magnet that is sensed by the magnet sensor to keep continuously-looping video playback switched off while the device is stored.

A tri-face artwork display device that allows for three different views within the same frame. One embodiment includes upper and lower rows of corresponding slits on the top and bottom of the frame. The slits have a predetermined depth so as to not penetrate through the other side of the frame. The slits hold the image panels that display the second and third image to compliment the first image. The image panel has a second image on its first face and a third image on its second face. Additionally, a clamshell provides enhanced depth to contents inserted within a frame. The clamshell includes a box assembly with sidewalls and a flap assembly that is insertable within a rabbet of a frame.
