Description

HANGING SYSTEM FOR A DISPLAY SHEET
Technical Field [0001] The present disclosure relates to a hanging system for a display sheet.
Background [0002] Picture frames are known and generally comprise a picture sandwiched between a front glass pane and a rear mounting pane, as well as a frame that holds the front glass pane, rear mounting pane and picture together. Such picture frames are restrictive and inflexible in that they can only be used for pictures that are sized to fit within the frames. Further, interchanging pictures can be cumbersome and time-consuming as this often requires the picture frame to be disassembled. In an attempt to address these problems, picture frames comprising magnetically connectable frame members have been devised to allow pictures to be more easily and quickly interchangeable.
[0003] The above known picture frames are typically mounted to a wall via a string or wire attachment that is suspended on a wall-mounted hook. Ensuring that the string or wire attachment is accurately suspended on the wall-mounted hook so that the picture frame is not tilted can also be cumbersome and time-consuming. Further, such picture frames do not often sit flat against the wall when mounted via a string or wire, which can compromise the aesthetics of the picture.
Object [0004] It is an object of the present disclosure to substantially overcome or ameliorate one or more of the above problems.
Summary [0005] In an aspect of the present disclosure, there is provided a hanging system for a display sheet, comprising:
2019205975 15 Jul 2019 an upper frame comprising first and second elongate members configured to magnetically connect to each other to secure an upper end portion of the display sheet therebetween;
a wall-mountable bracket configured to removably engage the first elongate member to support the upper frame to a wall so that the display sheet secured between the first and second elongate members is suspended therefrom.
[0006] The wall-mountable bracket may comprise:
a mounting portion having a rear mounting surface and a front surface configured to abut the first elongate member during use; and an engagement portion projecting forwardly from the mounting portion and having an upper flange surface configured to abut the first elongate member during use.
[0007] Each of the front surface and the upper flange surface may be planar, and the front surface and the upper flange surface may define a bracket angle therebetween.
[0008] The bracket angle may be between 30 to 80 degrees. In one embodiment, the bracket angle may be 60 degrees.
[0009] The first elongate member may comprise a rear abutment surface for abutment with the front surface of the mounting portion during use, and a lower abutment surface for abutment with the upper flange surface of the engagement portion during use.
[0010] Each of the rear abutment surface and the lower abutment surface may be planar, and the rear abutment surface and the lower abutment surface may define a member angle therebetween.
[0011] The member angle may be between 30 to 80 degrees. In one embodiment, the member angle may be 60 degrees. In some embodiments, the member angle may substantially correspond with the bracket angle.
[0012] The first elongate member may further comprise a longitudinally extending lower surface having a downwardly open recess. The lower abutment surface may partially define the downwardly open recess.
2019205975 15 Jul 2019 [0013] The downwardly open recess may be configured to at least partially and fittingly receive the engagement portion during use.
[0014] The first elongate member may further comprise a longitudinally extending rear surface having a rearwardly open recess. The rear abutment surface may partially define the rearwardly open recess.
[0015] The rearwardly open recess may be configured to at least partially and fittingly receive the mounting portion so that the longitudinally extending rear surface of the first elongate member may be located rearward of the rear mounting surface of the mounting portion during use.
[0016] The first elongate member may be further configured to magnetically connect to the mounting portion of the wall-mountable bracket during use.
[0017] In some embodiments, the mounting portion of the wall-mountable bracket may be mountable to the wall by a screw. In other embodiments, the mounting portion of the wallmountable bracket may be mountable to the wall by an adhesive.
[0018] The hanging system may further comprise a lower frame comprising first and second elongate members configured to magnetically connect to each other to secure a lower end portion of the display sheet therebetween.

Description of Embodiments [0028] Figs. 1 and 2 show a hanging system 10 for a display sheet 20, according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The hanging system 10 comprises an upper frame 100 having first and second elongate members 102, 104 configured to secure an upper end portion 22 of the display sheet 20, a lower frame 200 having first and second elongate members 202, 204 configured to secure a lower end portion 24 of the display sheet 20, and a wall-mountable bracket 300 configured to removably engage the first elongate member 102 to support the upper frame 100 to a wall 30. The display sheet 20 may be an artwork, a print, or the like.
[0029] The wall-mountable bracket 300 will now be described in further detail with reference to Figs. 3 and 4. The wall-mountable bracket 300 comprises a mounting portion 302 having a rear mounting surface 304 and a front surface 306. The front surface 306 is configured to abut the first elongate member 102 of the upper frame 100 during use. In some embodiments, the mounting portion 302 may be mountable to the wall 30 by an adhesive (not shown) applied between the rear mounting surface 304 and the wall 30. In other embodiments, the mounting portion 302 may be mountable to the wall 30 by a screw (not shown). In the embodiment depicted in Fig. 3, the mounting portion 302 comprises an aperture 308 for receiving a screw therethrough. In further embodiments, the mounting portion 302 may be mountable to the wall 30 using both an adhesive and a screw. The wallmountable bracket 300 also comprises an engagement portion 310 projecting forwardly from the mounting portion 302 and having an upper flange surface 312 configured to abut the first elongate member 102 of the upper frame 100 during use. Each of the front surface 306 and the upper flange surface 312 is planar and together define a bracket angle 314 therebetween.
2019205975 15 Jul 2019
The bracket angle 314 may be between 30 to 80 degrees, for example. In the embodiment depicted in Fig. 4, the bracket angle 314 is 60 degrees. The wall-mountable bracket 300 may be formed from metal.
[0030] The upper and lower frames 100, 200 will now be described in further detail with reference to Fig. 1. The first and second elongate members 102, 104 of the upper frame 100 are configured to magnetically connect to each other to secure the upper end portion 22 of the display sheet 20 therebetween, such that the display sheet 20 is suspended therefrom during use. The first and second elongate members 202, 204 of the lower frame 200 are configured to magnetically connect to each other to secure the lower end portion 24 of the display sheet 20 therebetween. In the embodiment depicted in Fig. 1, the first and second elongate members 102, 104, 202, 204 are magnetically connected via one or more magnets (not shown) embedded in the first and second elongate member 102, 104, 202, 204. The first and second elongate members 102, 104, 202, 204 may be made of wood, or any other suitable material such as plastic.
[0031] Turning now to Figs. 5 to 7, the first elongate member 102 of the upper frame 100 comprises a rear abutment surface 106 for abutment with the front surface 306 of the mounting portion 302 during use, and a lower abutment surface 108 for abutment with the upper flange surface 312 of the engagement portion 310 during use. Each of the rear abutment surface 106 and the lower abutment surface 108 is planar and together define a member angle 110 therebetween. The member angle 110 substantially corresponds with the bracket angle 314 and may be between 30 to 80 degrees, for example. In the embodiment depicted in Fig. 7, the member angle 110 is 60 degrees.
[0032] The first elongate member 102 of the upper frame 100 further comprises a longitudinally extending lower surface 112 having a downwardly open recess 114. The downwardly open recess 114 is defined at least by the lower abutment surface 108 and two lower side surfaces 116 disposed on opposed sides of the lower abutment surface 108 and extending downwardly therefrom. The downwardly open recess 114 is configured to at least partially and fittingly receive the engagement portion 310 during use. The lower side surfaces 116 are configured to abut the engagement portion 310 during use to achieve a snug-fit and to substantially limit lateral movement of the first elongate member 102 relative to the mounting portion 302.
2019205975 15 Jul 2019 [0033] Further, the first elongate member 102 of the upper frame 100 comprises a longitudinally extending rear surface 118 having a rearwardly open recess 120. The rearwardly open recess 120 is defined at least by the rear abutment surface 106 and two rear side surfaces 122 disposed on opposed sides of the rear abutment surface 106 and extending rearwardly therefrom. The rearwardly open recess 120 is configured to at least partially and fittingly receive the mounting portion 302 so that the longitudinally extending rear surface 118 is located rearward of the rear mounting surface 304 of the mounting portion 302 during use. The rear side surfaces 122 are configured to abut the mounting portion 302 during use so as to achieve a snug-fit and to limit lateral movement of the first elongate member 102 relative to the mounting portion 302.
[0034] In some embodiments, the first elongate member 102 of the upper frame 100 is further configured to magnetically connect to the mounting portion 302 of the metallic wallmountable bracket 300 during use. In the embodiment depicted in Figs. 5 to 7, a magnet 124 is embedded in the first elongate member 102 and disposed in close proximity to the rear abutment surface 106.
[0035] An exemplary use of the hanging system 10 will now be described with reference to Fig. 8. The wall-mountable bracket 300 is first positioned and mounted on the wall 30 by an adhesive. The upper end portion 22 of the display sheet 20 is positioned and secured between the first and second elongate members 102, 104 of the upper frame 100, and the lower end portion 24 of the display sheet 20 is positioned and secured between the first and second elongate members 202, 204 of the lower frame 200. The upper frame 100 is mounted on the wall-mountable bracket 300 by first locating a part of the mounting portion 302 of the wallmountable bracket 300 into the rearwardly open recess 120 such that the rear abutment surface 106 abuts with the front surface 306 of the mounting portion 302 and the magnet 124 in close proximity to the rear abutment surface 106 magnetically connects to the front surface 306. A part of the engagement portion 310 of the wall-mountable bracket 300 is then located into the downwardly open recess 114 by moving the upper frame 100 downwardly such that the lower abutment surface 108 abuts with the upper flange surface 312 of the engagement portion 310. In this position, the longitudinally extending rear surface 118 is substantially flat to the wall 30 and the lower frame 200 is suspended below the upper frame 100 by gravity. It is recognised that friction between the longitudinally extending rear surface 118 and the wall 30 limits movement of the first elongate member 102 relative to the wall 30. The upper frame
2019205975 15 Jul 2019
100 may be dismounted from the wall-mountable bracket 300 by lifting the upper frame 100 such that the magnetic attraction between the magnet 124 and the front surface 306 is overcome and the mounting portion 302 and the engagement portion 310 are no longer abutting the first elongate member 102.
[0036] The hanging system 10 described above has numerous advantages. Firstly, the upper frame 100 can be quickly and accurately mounted on, and easily released from, the wallmountable bracket 300. Further, having the longitudinally extending rear surface 118 of the first elongate member 102 substantially flat to the wall 30 and the lower frame 200 suspended below the upper frame 100 during use, allows the display sheet 20 to be substantially taut and parallel to the wall 30, thus improving the aesthetics of the display sheet 20. Moreover, the hanging system 10 allows for display sheets of different sizes to be used as well as for display sheets to be easily and quickly interchangeable.
[0037] It will be appreciated by persons skilled in the art that numerous variations and/or modifications may be made to the above-described embodiments, without departing from the broad general scope of the present disclosure. The present embodiments are, therefore, to be considered in all respects as illustrative and not restrictive.
