A mounting assembly is provided comprising at least one elongate mount comprising a longitudinal recess extending at least partially therealong; and a length of compressible material that is complimentary with said longitudinal recess and adapted to be received in frictional engagement therein, thereby securely retaining a sheet of material positioned in said longitudinal recess

The invention relates to a customizable frame system, which can be customized for both shape and size. In some embodiments only the corners are visible, and the structural rails are hidden. In other embodiments, the rails create a frame around the outside of the picture. The rails, and in some embodiments the corners, have a notch that allows the frame to be hung from various sides. The framing system can be supplied in standard sizes and custom sizes. Each corner can be a different shape and color or theme. They can be decorated or embellished with materials, objects or characters. The sides, rails and corners form reusable pieces to make different sizes for new frames.

A method for assembling a canvas print includes the steps of: preparing a canvas substrate that includes a printed side; placing the canvas substrate with the printed side facing down; disposing a base frame over the canvas substrate; folding edges of the canvas substrate over sides of the base frame; inserting a rear panel into the base frame; and pressing the rear panel downward until a snap-fit connection is realized between the rear panel and the base frame with the folded edges of the canvas substrate being captured between the rear panel and the base frame and being taught across a forward face of the base frame.

A stand for use with a charging device, such as, but not limited to, a Qi Wireless Charger. The stand is in the form of a picture frame, and elevates the charging unit up off a desk or tabletop, at an angle where a device being charged can be placed thereupon. A portion of the back of the frame is removably secured, and provides a space for securely holding the wireless charging device therein. The charging device power cord is routed through a picture frame support extending from the back of the frame.

A foldable display stand includes a leg unit and two support arm assemblies. The leg unit includes two leg tubes. Each of the support arm assemblies includes a support arm, and is convertible among a storage state where the support arm is substantially retracted into a respective one of the leg tubes, a projecting state where the support arm substantially projects out of the respective leg tube and where the support arm extends along an extending axis of the respective leg tube, and a display state where the support arm extends in a direction transverse to the direction of the extending axis of the respective leg tube.

A frame assembly for displaying an object is described. In an embodiment, the frame assembly comprises a printable, rigid material forming a rectangular shaped outer frame that defines an area in which the object, such as a photograph, is displayed. The outer frame is made of a rigid, multilayer substrate that has been machined with grooves that allows it to be manipulated to form front and side walls, such that an image can be printed or wrapped around the entire surface. A method of making the frame assembly is also described. The method comprises printing an image on the frame, such as by direct digital or screen printing prior to assembling the parts of the frame.

It is an object of one or more embodiments of the present disclosure to provide a method and device for an easel back. The easel back is constructed of a flat foldable member, comprised of three cut outs for folding at the three cut outs, a first hook/loop, on an upper section of a front side of the easel back, configured to attach to a back of a display frame, and a second hook/loop, on the bottom section of a back side of the easel back, configured to attach to a lower part of the display frame.

A stand for use with a charging device, such as, but not limited to, a Qi Wireless Charger. The stand is in the form of a picture frame, and elevates the charging unit up off a desk or table top, at an angle where a device being charged can be placed thereupon. A portion of the back of the frame is removably secured, and provides a space for securely holding the wireless charging device therein. The charging device power cord is routed through a picture frame support extending from the back of the frame.

Embodiments of the present disclosure include an image frame assembly including a frame portion defining a viewing window and a backing panel attached to a back of the frame portion. The backing panel includes a hinge portion that rotatably couples the backing panel to the frame portion to allow the frame portion to rotate relative to the backing panel about an axis extending parallel to and proximate to an upper edge of the backing panel, a body portion extending from the hinge portion and configured to cover at least portion of a viewing window of the frame portion, and a plurality of biased members extending from the planar portion and toward the frame portion.

A self-leveling picture frame apparatus for automatically leveling pictures hung on a wall includes a frame body having an upper portion, a lower portion, a left portion, and a right portion defining a frame aperture. A leveling liquid is coupled within a leveling cavity of the frame body. The leveling cavity is shaped to direct the leveling liquid towards a midline of either the upper portion, the lower portion, the left portion, or the right portion depending on which portion is lowest. A transparent front cover is coupled to the frame body. The front cover is coupled to a front face of the frame body within the frame aperture. A back cover is coupled to a back face of the frame body over the frame aperture.
