A spline installation device for use with a spline/rail type frame to assemble the splines to the rails. The device including a base that defines a platform for receiving a frame subassembly; and a plurality of linkages that are disposed about the platform and coupled to the base. Each linkage is configured to move between a first position in which a fence bearing surface thereof is at an angle other than 90 degrees relative to the platform and a second position in which the fence bearing surface is set at an at least substantially 90 degree angle relative to the platform for locking and holding the frame subassembly in place. The linkages further being configured to receive a spline instillation tool for locking the splines in place relative to the rails.

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.

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 frame system according to one embodiment includes a hollow outer frame element that includes a plurality of recesses formed along inner faces of walls of the outer frame element. The outer frame element further includes a plurality of ribs formed along the inner face and an inner landing that protrudes inwardly into a center opening of the outer frame element. The frame system also includes a back plate configured for insertion into the center opening. The back plate includes a plurality of locking ribs for reception within the plurality of recesses to generate a snap-fit attachment of the back plate to the hollow outer frame element.

Disclosed is a fine art stretcher bar framing and canvas fastening system. The system consists of variable length side bars, fixed ninety degree corners, internal connecting segments, and an adjustable cross brace for quick and easy assembling, dismantling, storing, and transporting. The side bars, corners, and connecting segments features a mechanism utilizing a male plug and female socket to connect side bars, corners, and connecting segments in an array of stretcher bar configurations. The segments are secured using interlocking pins after side bars or corners female sockets engaged with connecting segment plugs. The cross brace segments features an adjustable mechanism conforming to the stretcher bar configuration. The side bars, corners, connecting, and cross brace segments can be dismantled by removing interlocking mechanism on the segments. The back side of the stretcher bar system features a wooden surface to mount or dismount canvases using staples or other fasteners.

A suspension device has a base plate (11) intended to be fastened to a wall and two rods (15, 16) fastened on the base plate with the ends pointing towards one another. The rods have end knobs (17, 18) and one end knob (18) is spring-loaded to rest against the end knob of the other rod. Using a closed loop, a snare is made around the object that is to be hung up and then the loop is pressed in between the ends of the rods so that the loop remains hanging on one rod. The cord can simply be pulled loose by pulling it out between the end knobs when it is desired to detach the object

A hanging apparatus that includes a frame that supports a display item and a bracket for purposes of hanging the hanging apparatus. The bracket may include a body portion and a mounting portion, the mounting portion facilitating coupling of the bracket to a backer panel that is part of a stack positioned in a rabbet of the frame. Thus, the mounting portion includes walls that define a mounting channel. Portions of the backer panel are positioned within the mounting channels of the bracket prior to inserting the backer panel into the rabbet of the frame. Fasteners such as turn buttons or flex tabs may be altered into a locked state to secure the stack and the bracket in the rabbet so that the frame can be hung for display of the display item.

Provided are a screen frame and a laser projection display device. The screen frame includes a plurality of side frames that are connected end to end, where each two adjacent side frames of the plurality of side frames are connected by at least two connectors, and the at least two connectors are connected to the each two adjacent side frames by fasteners; the at least two connectors include a first connector and a second connector, and an inserting direction of a fastener on the first connector is perpendicular to a plane where the screen frame is located, and an inserting direction of a fastener on the second connector is parallel to the plane where the screen frame is located. The present disclosure can realize accurate alignment and joining relatively easily.
