PRINT DISPLAY MEMBER AND METHOD FOR REPLACING A PRINT THEREFROM
The present disclosure relates to a print display system designed to securely display and facilitate easy manipulation of a print. The system includes a print display member with a print support surface that is equipped with an attachment mechanism for releasably securing a print in place. The display system is further provided with a lifting mechanism operable between two positions: a first position where the print support surface remains in a planar configuration, and a second position where a movable section of the print support surface is lifted. The lifting mechanism is configured to raise the movable section to allow for manipulation of the print, such as repositioning, removal, or replacement, without damaging the print or the display member.
SHADOW BOX WITH CUSTOMIZABLE AND REPLACEABLE PARTS
A buildable shadow box that allows users to add customized figures attached to parts of a frame is presented. The shadow box itself may comprise a set of removably attached blocks, allowing for expansion. The frame may be composed of four pieces, each piece having N rows in which pieces may be attached at a pre-defined pitch, thereby allowing users to place pieces on all N rows of each frame piece. In embodiments, by placing different pieces on different rows, and by replacing them as may be desired, users may build customizable scenarios with different pieces, and may build a sequence of shadow boxes using the same characters to tell a story or narrative. In embodiments, a block or rear panel of the frame may include one or more magnets, and the pieces made of ferromagnetic material so as to removably attach to the block.
WALL ANCHORS
A wall anchors in the form of a base with one or more wall penetrating retainers having respective wall penetrating extents that are curved. The retainers and base are configured to enable manual insertion onto wall without the use of tools.
MAGNETIC PICTURE FRAME SYSTEM
A picture frame system includes a frame having an inner surface with a channel, a panel having a peripheral edge which is received in the channel and defines an area A which remains exposed within the perimeter member, and at least one magnetic member attached to the panel member within area A and a substrate having an aesthetic aspect and at least one metallic magnetically attracted member on a back of the substrate oriented in a complementary manner to be magnetically held in place.
COLLECTABLE CAPSULE AND FRAME
A protective holder for collectible items comprises interlocking non-opaque rear and front shells forming an interior space. The rear shell features a rearward depression with a rim, while the front shell has a forward protrusion with a lip, enabling stacking of multiple holders. The shells connect via a mechanical fastening system and a magnetic latch. The rear shell may include a forward depression creating a viewing perimeter around the item. An optional front frame can be attached to the assembled shells. The rear shell's rearward depression includes undercuts for accessories such as a backing board with a stand or hanging loop. An open volume in the rear shell protects item corners. The holder is designed for compatibility with other components and future attachments, and can integrate with conventional picture frames. This design offers versatile display and storage options for collectibles while providing protection.
DISPLAY ITEM MAGNETS MOUNTED ON BOARDS HAVING MAGNETIC RECEPTORS
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.
Floating Picture Frame
A floating picture frame is provided. The floating picture frame includes a frame body having an outer frame and an inner mounting plate, wherein a channel is formed between the outer frame and the inner mounting plate to create the visual impression of a suspended picture element. The channel encloses the inner mounting plate and is accessible from the front side of the frame body. A retention mechanism on the mounting plate secures a picture element and may include an interchangeable holding magnet, double-sided mounting tape, or a clip or clasp. A support member on the rear side of the frame body supports the frame in an upright position on a tabletop, while a wall mounting feature allows for alternative display configurations. In some embodiments, the frame body is constructed as a single monolithic structure.
Hinged display frame for a greeting card
A display frame for a card includes a frame, an insert removably connectable to the frame, and a holder having a first panel hingedly connected to a second panel. The first panel is removably received within the insert and the second panel is movable relative to the first panel.
Magnetic picture frame system
A picture frame system includes a frame having an inner surface with a channel, a panel having a peripheral edge which is received in the channel and defines an area A which remains exposed within the perimeter member, and at least one magnetic member attached to the panel member within area A and a substrate having an aesthetic aspect and at least one metallic magnetically attracted member on a back of the substrate oriented in a complementary manner to be magnetically held in place.
FLOAT FRAME WITH MULTI-DIRECTIONAL HANGING MECHANISM AND MAGNETIC INSERT
A float frame consists of a frame and an article. The frame has a first size, a back panel, a hanging system formed on the back panel, and magnets embedded on the back panel. The article, which can be a canvas, has a second size smaller than the first size of the frame, creating a visual illusion that the article floats within the frame. The canvas has magnets embedded into its stretcher bars, the magnets positioned corresponding to positions of the magnets embedded on the back panel of the frame. The hanging system has an opening with a wave patterned border with sine-wave curves in a repeating pattern for hanging the frame in any desired orientation. The back panel of the frame can have thumb hole(s) for facilitating separation of the frame and the article, as well as pin holes for affixing canvases without embedded magnets to the frame.
