The modular picture frame system comprises a starter strip and a plurality of frames. The starter strip may be mounted horizontally with on a wall. The plurality of frames may be hung from the starter strip in positions that are below the starter strip. Each individual frame selected from the plurality of frames may display a photograph. A new frame may be added to the plurality of frames by sliding a T-track of the new frame into the starter strip or into an extender channel of a previously hung frame. The plurality of frames may be organized into a horizontal arrangement, a vertical arrangement, a grid arrangement, an irregular arrangement, or combinations thereof.

A shadow box assembly adapted for quick and easy insertion and removal of artistic works that includes a frame member, a shadow box insert member, and a frame backing member wherein the shadow box insert member may be of a substantially pliable and selectively adjustable material to accommodate a closer view, and more secure fit, of the shadow box work therein. The shadow box assembly may further comprise an insertion slot or access mechanism wherein shadow box work can be quickly and efficiently inserted and extracted. A locking mechanism may further complement the insertion slot or access mechanism for sealing of the same and securement of the shadow box work therein. The shadow box assembly may be displayed by hanging it on a wall, propping it up against a wall or other vertical structure, or standing it in an upright position on a flat surface or shelf.

The present disclosure relates to a frame assembly. More particularly, this disclosure describes a frame assembly having a frame with a slot for inserting and removing holiday card slips. In one illustrative embodiment, the frame may include a front surface and a back surface separated by a plurality of sides forming an interior portion for securing a card slip. The frame may include a slot between the front surface and the back surface for receiving and removing the card slip. The frame assembly may include a plurality of card slips representing holidays through the year. Double-sided card slips maybe used.

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.

A self-locking collapsible display frame is described. Some implementations can include a frame kit having a top frame piece, a bottom frame piece, a left side frame piece, a right side frame piece, a first planar member, and a second planar member. The frame includes slanted dovetail joints that become locked when the first and second planar members engage the frame pieces.

A tri-face artwork display device that allows for three different views within the same frame. One embodiment includes upper and lower rows of corresponding slits on the top and bottom of the frame. The slits have a predetermined depth so as to not penetrate through the other side of the frame. The slits hold the image panels that display the second and third image to compliment the first image. The image panel has a second image on its first face and a third image on its second face. The present invention includes a second embodiment that is used to retrofit an existing standard frame. The fillet assembly uses a plurality of receiving cavities defined by two side walls to hold image panels. The fillet may also have a locking flange, which extends perpendicular from the fillet and fits underneath the matting of a frame to securely hold the fillet in place.

A changeable frame allows exhibits presented therein to be exchanged in a simplified manner. The frame includes a frame element surrounding a frame opening in which the exhibit is visible from an observer side. A recess in the frame element leads from a lateral outer surface to an opposite inner surface of the frame element and opens into the frame opening for insertion of the exhibit into and removal of the exhibit from the frame opening. A drawer slidably mounted in the recess has a receptacle for positioning the exhibit. The drawer is slidable between an insertion position, in which the exhibit is visible in the frame opening, and a removal position, in which the receptacle of the drawer is outside of the frame element for the removal of the exhibit from the receptacle.

A display assembly having a first backlit display including a first panel with a first color image formed thereon, the first color image including a first transparent portion of a first color and a second transparent portion of a second color, a second panel including a first transparent portion of a first color and an opaque portion so that light from the light source does not pass through a corresponding portion of the first panel, and a light source that emits at least a first color light and a second color light, wherein the first color of the first transparent portion of the first panel is a different color than the first color of the first transparent portion of the second panel, and light from the light source passes through the first transparent portions of both the first panel and the second panel.

A poster frame assembly includes a base frame having a front side, back side and sidewalls with a thickness, a plurality of cover members pivotally connected to the base frame at the top portion of the sidewall, and a pair of upright side rails interconnected by a bottom rail disposed on the back side of the base frame and shaped to define a channel configured to slidably receive a display sheet. A method of using the poster frame assembly of the present invention is also disclosed.

A photograph frame has a backing plate with an integrally formed support member that can be bent out of a plane of the backing plate to support the frame at a viewing angle. The support member incorporates an integral locking member that is bent out of a plane of the support member to maintain the support member in a fixed position. Both the support member and locking member are formed in situ with the backing plate.
