DETAILED DESCRIPTION

(7) Hereinafter, detailed contents for implementing a canvas frame according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

(8) A canvas frame 1 according to the present invention is used to tightly pull and fix a canvas used to draw a picture in an art studio and the like, and referring to FIGS. 1A to 3, the canvas frame 1 is formed by coupling a first frame 100 made of metal and a second frame 200 made of a foam synthetic resin to each other.

(9) The first frame 100 is formed of a light metal material such as aluminum, and a plurality of unit frames are connected to each other by a welding or coupling member to be formed in a rectangular frame shape, and a part of the front surface is provided to be in contact with a canvas C. For this end, the first frame 100 may be configured by including a body part 110 that is hollowed so that the inside is empty, an inner fastening part 120 connected to an inner surface 113 of the body part 110, and an outer fastening part 130 connected to an outer surface 114 of the body part 110.

(10) The body part 110 has a shape in which four bars are coupled to each other, and includes a front surface 111 which has a hallow inside and is inclined downward toward the inside, inner and outer surfaces 113 and 114 connected to both sides of the front surface 111 in a vertical direction, respectively, and a rear surface 112 horizontally connecting lower ends of the inner and outer surfaces 113 and 114.

(11) In addition, the inner fastening part 120 and the outer fastening part 130 have inner and outer fastening grooves 121 and 131 so that all or some of an inner insertion part 220 and an outer insertion part 230 of the second frame 200 are inserted and fastened, respectively, thereby enabling the first and second frames 100 and 200 to be firmly and easily fastened to each other.

(12) In addition, the outer fastening part 130 is provided with a support surface 133 of which a front surface is flatly formed to support the canvas C which is tightly tensioned and fixed so as to prevent the canvas C from falling down, and the front surface 111 of the body part 110 is inclined to minimize an area in contact with the canvas and prevent a drawing operation from being hindered.

(13) As such, since the first frame 100 is made of metal such as aluminum and the canvas C is in contact with metal, as compared with a conventional canvas frame in which wood has been included, its weight is light, an assembled state is tight, and the discoloration and contamination of the canvas or a picture drawn on the canvas are prevented depending on a change in external environment, such as temperature, moisture, mold, etc.

(14) Since the second frame 200 is made of a foam synthetic resin, the second frame is excellent in molding and processability and excellent in insulation, waterproof, and warmth to be protected from temperature, moisture, mold, etc., so that a product value increases, has an impact absorbing property to be protected from external impacts, and may be recycled as a resource.

(15) Further, the second frame 200 is coupled to the rear surface side of the first frame 100, may have various cross-sectional shapes such as “L”, “”, and the like, and is coupled to the first frame by an insertion method other than an adhesive or screw fastening in the related art, so that a manufacturing process is simple, and as a result, the second frame may be easily manufactured and a firmly coupled state may be maintained.

(16) To this end, in the second frame 200, an insertion groove 211 is formed on the support part 210 to be inserted and fastened with a part of the body part 110, an edge of the tensioned canvas C is fixed and supported to the lower portion of the support part 210 through a fixing member (not illustrated), an inner insertion part 220 is formed on the inner surface of the support part 210 to be inserted and fastened to the inner fastening part 120, and an outer insertion part 230 is formed on the outer surface of the support part 210 to be inserted and fastened to the outer fastening part 130, so that the first and second frames 100 and 200 may be firmly coupled to each other.

(17) At this time, the outer insertion part 230 may be formed to expose most of the outer surface to the outside to further firmly fix and support the tensioned canvas C through the fixing member.

(18) In addition, an inner connection groove 212 is formed inside the insertion groove 211 of the support part 210, and an inner connection piece 112a is formed to protrude from one end or both ends of the rear surface 112 of the body part 110 to be connected to the inner connection groove 212. In addition, an inner connection groove 221 and an outer connection groove 231 are formed on the inner surface of the inner insertion part 220 and the outer surface of the inner insertion part 230, respectively, to be connected to an inner connection piece 122 and an outer connection piece 132 formed on the inner fastening part 120 and the outer fastening part 130, respectively. As a result, the first and second frames 100 and 200 are connected to the inside and the outside so as to be firmly fastened each other and be prevented from being separated from each other or moving to have no gap, thereby increasing the durability.

(19) In addition, the second frame 200 coupled to the first frame 100 is manufactured and prepared at various thicknesses, and when the second frame 200 having a suitable thickness is selected as need for a canvas size or the like to be fastened to the first frame 100, the thickness of the canvas frame 1 may be adjusted.

(20) In the case of fixing the canvas C to the canvas frame 1 according to the present invention described above, while the canvas C is tensioned by a tension device (not illustrated), the canvas C is curved to the rear surface of the canvas frame 1 to be fixed to the second frame 200 using a fixing member such as tacks, metal pins, fixing pins, staplers, etc. Since the canvas fixation using this fixing member is a well-known or commonly used technique, the detailed description will be omitted.

(21) That is, the canvas C is placed so that a surface Cl on which the picture is drawn faces the front surface and a back surface opposed thereto faces the rear surface. In this state, when the edge of the canvas C is tightly pulled and tensioned and curved twice in a rear surface direction, the edge of the canvas C is in contact with the rear surface of the second frame 200 through the outer fastening part 130 and the outer insertion part 230, and in this state, is fixed to the second frame 200 using a fixing member such as tacks, metal pins, fixing pins, staplers, etc. At this time, the fixing member is also fastened to the outer surface of the outer insertion part 230 to further firmly fix the canvas C.

(22) As such, the canvas frame 1 according to the present invention is made of the metal and the foam synthetic resin to be light in weight and protected from temperature, moisture, mold, etc., and as a result, the canvas is not discolored or contaminated and not easily twisted or deformed to have excellent durability. Furthermore, the wood is bad in molding and processibility, but the present invention uses the foam synthetic resin to enable precise processing. Thus, thin grooves are easily formed to insert and fasten various connection pieces of the first frame 100 made of the metal material, thereby performing more firmly coupling.

(23) Further, referring to FIG. 4, as another embodiment, a third frame 30 made of a metal material may be further fastened to the front surface side of the first frame 100 to be extended, and the third frame 300 has an inclined surface 310 formed on the front surface thereof to be inclined downward toward the inside, a flat support surface 320 formed at one side of the inclined surface thereof, and fastening pieces 330 formed at both sides thereof.

(24) The third frame 300 may be prepared at a size having various thicknesses, and the third frame 300 having an appropriate size is selected as needed for a size of the canvas C or the like to be fastened to the first frame 100, thereby enabling the thickness adjustment of the canvas frame. At this time, the fastening pieces 330 formed at both sides of the third frame 300 are fastened to upper grooves 111a and 134 formed on the body part 110 and the outer fastening part 130 of the first frame 100, respectively, thereby increasing the scalability.

(25) Further, referring to FIGS. 5A and 5B, the inner fastening part 120 has an insertion piece 123 formed on the inner surface thereof so that an inner frame 400 passing through a rectangular inner space of the canvas frame may be inserted and fastened to the insertion piece 123. Such an inner frame 400 may be formed in a “−” or “+” shape, thereby further strengthening the canvas frame and preventing the falling-down of the canvas when an artist draws a picture.
