A 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.
Convertible display assembly
A convertible display assembly is disclosed. The convertible display assembly includes a display sleeve, a connector attached to the back of the display sleeve and forming a connector plate cavity, and a support bracket. The support bracket has a connector plate that is received by the connector plate cavity between the connector and the display sleeve to demountably attach the display sleeve to the support bracket.
Hanging frame assembly
An article for hanging on a support surface includes a substrate having a first end and a second end. The article includes a pair of rails with each rail including a recessed channel that extends in a longitudinal direction. A pair of splines is provided with each spline including a raised ridge that extends in a longitudinal direction. The raised ridge is inserted into the recessed channel. The article also includes a first pair of end caps. An elongated hanging element passes through the slots of the first pair of end caps. Wherein in an assembled state, one rail and one spline are disposed adjacent one another such that the raised ridge is at least partially inserted into the recessed channel and the substrate is captured within the recessed channel and the first pair of end caps are disposed over opposite ends of the one rail and one spline to join and hold the one rail and one spline against one another with the substrate captured therebetween.
HANGING SYSTEM AND BRACKET THEREOF
A hanging system and a method of hanging a support structure from a support surface. The hanging system may include a support structure and a hanging bracket for hanging the support structure from a support surface such as a wall. The support structure may include a mounting groove that accepts a portion of the hanging bracket to facilitate the coupling therebetween. The support structure may be able to slide side-to-side along the support surface while remaining coupled to the hanging bracket. The hanging system may alternatively, or additionally, include a reinforcement bracket. The reinforcement bracket may serve the dual purpose of holding the various mitered components of the support structure together and facilitating the hanging of the support structure from the support surface.

WALL ARTICLE HANGING DEVICE AND METHOD OF USE
A wall article hanging device uses a plate having at least one prong, a bent configuration, and a keyhole opening to allow the wall article hanging device to be easily attached to from a wall article using a screw protruding from a back of the wall article and removed without having to remove the screw.
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.
ART FRAME AND ORGANIZER
A display organizer includes a front wall, a first side wall, a second side wall opposite of the first side wall, a back wall opposite of the front wall, and a bottom wall. The front wall, first side wall, the second side wall, the back wall, and the bottom wall form an opening and receptacle. The display organizer further includes an openable frame positioned on top of the front wall. The openable frame has a cut out. The cut out allows a portion of the front wall to be visible through the cut out when the openable frame is in a closed position. The display organizer includes a magnet located within the front wall. The openable frame includes a magnetic piece that corresponds to the magnet and is used to secure the openable frame to the front wall in a closed position.
DISPLAY BOARD
An art piece includes a core structure, having: a three-dimensional core having a front surface and a back surface; a first rigid board attached to the front surface; a second rigid board attached to the back surface; and respective rigid skins applied to an exposed surface of each of the first rigid board and the second rigid board. An aperture extends i) through the rigid skin applied to the second rigid board, the second rigid board and the back surface and ii) into the three-dimensional core a depth that is less than a thickness of the three-dimensional core. An image receiving medium to receive a personalized digital printed image thereon includes a digital ink/toner receiving layer or a digital ink/toner receiving surface structure. An insert complementarily shaped with the aperture is inserted into the aperture and has a mount receiving portion formed therein.
MAGNETIC PICTURE FRAME SYSTEM, KIT AND METHOD FOR HANGING A MAGNETIC PICTURE FRAME
The present invention relates to a magnetic picture frame system to be hung to a supporting structure, the magnetic picture frame system comprising a frame body defining a picture receiving area and having a front face and a back face; a backing plate having an inner face engageable to the back face of the frame body to cover at least partially the picture receiving area, and an opposed outer face having a ferromagnetic area. The system further comprises a fixing apparatus having a magnetic portion magnetically removably couplable to the ferromagnetic area of the outer face of the backing plate; and a coupling portion couplable with the supporting structure.
