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.
Modular Mirror Mounting System
A modular mirror mounting system is shown and described. The modular mirror mounting system includes a modular mirror frame. The modular mirror frame is comprised of a first cross support secured to a plurality of elongated supports. The plurality of elongated supports extends from a first connected end in the same direction away from the first cross support. A second cross support is secured to a second end of each of the plurality of elongated supports. A plurality of mounting apertures is located through the supports. The modular mirror frame has a mirror secured to the frame, wherein the mirror has a plurality of apertures therethrough. The mirror is secured via mirror fasteners placed through the apertures of the mirror and the frame.
Frame assembly for displaying an object and method of making the same
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.
FRAME ASSEMBLY
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.
PICTURE FRAME HANGING ASSEMBLY AND METHOD OF INSTALLATION
A picture frame hanging assembly that includes at least one bracket directly coupled to either a horizontally oriented or a vertically oriented frame element and each bracket enclosing and defining hook-receiving aperture superimposed over a frame cavity of the picture frame and with an aperture width. The assembly includes a hook component directly coupled to a building wall surface and with a cantilevered hook member extending therefrom an offset length from a front surface of the hook component to define a bracket placement zone with the bracket disposed therein and having an inner surface with an inner surface hook width spanning from terminal opposing lateral sides thereon and at least partially supporting an upper wall of the hook component, wherein the aperture width is at least approximately twice or greater than the inner surface hook width.
Quick exchange image frame assembly and related methods
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.
Mounting system and method for artwork
A mounting system (1) for artwork is disclosed, comprising a blank (3) of planar material, comprising a rectangular main section (7) for carrying artwork, which has first and second integral tabs (9) extending from respective opposite sides of the main section and which are foldable into a three dimensional box-like shape behind the main section to provide first and second perimeter members. The system also comprises third and fourth integral foldable tabs (11) extending from the remaining sides of the main section and which project outwards by a lesser extent than the first and second tabs. The system also comprises a plurality of separate extender tabs (5) for attachment to the third and fourth foldable tabs to permit said tabs to be folded in a likewise manner to form third and fourth perimeter members behind the main section.
Picture frame hanging assembly and method of installation
A picture frame hanging assembly that includes a pair of brackets each respectively directly coupled at least one of a horizontally and a vertically oriented frame elements and each bracket enclosing and defining hook-receiving aperture superimposed over a frame cavity of the picture frame and with an aperture width. The assembly includes a pair of hook components directly coupled to a building wall surface and with a cantilevered hook member extending therefrom an offset length from a front surface of the hook components to define a bracket placement zone with one of the pair of brackets disposed therein and having an inner surface with an inner surface hook width spanning from terminal opposing lateral sides thereon and at least partially supporting an upper wall of the respective one of the pair of hook components, the aperture width at least approximately twice or greater than the inner surface hook width.
Apparatus and methods for mounting a poster
A poster mounting system is disclosed herein that, in various aspects, includes a slot disposed in a top rail and a poster insertably received in the slot. A clip may be insertably received within the slot to secure the poster. The clip, in various aspects, is formed as a unitary longitudinal member divided into a first segment and a second segment with an apex between the first segment and the second segment defining an obtuse angle with respect to the first segment and the second segment. When positioned in the slot, portions of the clip are compressively biased against a side face of the slot and other portions of the clip are compressively biased against portions of the poster to frictionally compressively engage the portions of the poster against an opposing side wall, in various aspects. The clips are removable to allow disengagement of the poster, in various aspects.
MOUNTING SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR ARTWORK
A mounting system (1) for artwork is disclosed, comprising a blank (3) of planar material, comprising a rectangular main section (7) for carrying artwork, which has first and second integral tabs (9) extending from respective opposite sides of the main section and which are foldable into a three dimensional box-like shape behind the main section to provide first and second perimeter members. The system also comprises third and fourth integral foldable tabs (11) extending from the remaining sides of the main section and which project outwards by a lesser extent than the first and second tabs. The system also comprises a plurality of separate extender tabs (5) for attachment to the third and fourth foldable tabs to permit said tabs to be folded in a likewise manner to form third and fourth perimeter members behind the main section.
