Figure 7 is a perspective view of a second embodiment of° the frame assembly, wherein the individual frames are not in contact with one another; and, Figure 8 is a perspective view of a third embodiment of the frame assembly, similar to that depicted in Figure l, except with the plurality of frames arranged in a single tier.
At the outset, it should be appreciated that like drawing numbers on different drawing views identify identical structural elements of the invention. While the present invention is described with respect to what is presently considered to be the preferred embodiments, it is understood that the invention is not limited to the disclosed embodiments.
Figure 1 is a perspective view of display assembly 10 as viewed from the front.
Display assembly 10 broadly comprises a plurality of hollow wedge-shaped frames (11, 13, 16, 17 and 18) secured together to form an assembly. (Although five hollow wedge-shaped frames are shown in the drawings, the claims are directed to a display assembly having only a plurality (at least two) of hollow wedge-shaped frames.) In a preferred embodiment, at least two of the plurality of frames share a common co-planar surface, as will be described infra, which co-planar surface enables respective works of art 14 to be displayed is a common plane.
Also, in a preferred embodiment, the individual frames are arranged directly adjacent one another, although the claims are not intended to be so limited (i.e., two or more of the frames may be arranged in spaced-apart relationship, with a gap therebetween). It should also be appreciated that Figure 1 depicts an assembly where the frames are stacked in two tiers, with frames 13 and 16 arranged on a bottom tier, and frames 17, 18 and 11 arranged in a second upper tier. It should be apparent that the frames may be arranged in a single tier (as shown in Figure 8, for example), stacked in a double-tier arrangement as shown, a triple-tier, etc. Also, although the arrangement of assembly shown in Figure 1 generally resembles a rectangle in overall shape, it should be apparent to those having ordinary skill in the art that other shapes of the assembly are possible, including but not limited to round (circular), polygonal (triangular, rectangular, etc.), asymmetrical, etc.
Figure 2 is a perspective view of the display assembly shown in Figure l, except viewed from the back. Framing member 19 circumscribes the plurality of hollow wedge-shaped frames 1 l, 13, 16, 17, and 18. In this embodiment, then, framing member 19 is located "behind"
the plurality of frames as shown in Figure 2. however, it should be readily apparent to one skilled in the art that framing member 19 may be attached to the plurality of frames in another configuration, such as around the outsides of the frames.
Figure 2 also shows rear panel 32 and support means 30, as is well known in the framing art. As shown in Figure 2A, support means 30 comprises hinge 34 having a first hinge element 36 fixedly connected to rear panel 32. Second hinge element 38 is pivotally connected to the first hinge element. Support elexhent 40 is faxedly secured to second hinge element 38.
Support element 40 is operatively arranged to be rotated away from backing panel 20 to provide a structural support when apparatus 10 is placed on a horizontal surface. When display 10 is to be stored or hung on a wall, support element 40 may be rotated to lie flat against rear panel 32.
Retaining means 24 (shown in Figure 2) holds rear panel 32 in place behind the plurality of frames. In the embodiment shown in Figure 2, retaining means 24 comprise three rotating tabs. However, it should be readily apparent to one skilled in the art that other means of securing a backing panel to a frame are possible, and these modifications are intended to be within the spirit and scope of the invention as clairrned.
Figure 3 is an exploded perspective view of the display assembly shown in Figure 1. This view clearly shows that display assembly 10 comprises a plurality of hollow wedge-shaped frames 17, 18, 1l, 13 and 16. By "wedge-shaped" it is meant that each frame assumes a v~ell-known shape of wedge. For example, frame 11 includes a "thick" end comprising member 1 la, and a "thin" end comprising member 11c. The remaining two side members l 1b and l 1d are tapered from the thick end to the thin end. By "hollow" it is meant that the four frame members create a viewing aperture bounded by the frame members. For example, frame 11 includes viewing aperture 11 e.
For clarity and completeness in description, Figure 3 also shows frames 13, 16, 17 and 18. Frame 13 includes "thick" frame member 13a, opposing parallel "thin"
frame member 13c, and tapered side members 13b and 13d, joined together as shown. Frame 16 includes "thick"
frame member 16a, opposing parallel "thin" frame member 16c, and tapered side members 16b and 16d, joined together as shown. Frame 17 includes "thick°' frame member 17a, opposing parallel "thin" frame member 17c, and tapered side members 17b and 17d, joined together as shown. Frame 18 includes "thick'° frame member 18a, opposing parallel '°thin" frame member 18c, and tapered side members 18b and 18d, joined together as shown, Figure 3 also illustrates another novel aspect of the display assembly, that of "angular orientation'" of the plurality of frames. With reference to Figure 3, note that frame 11 is positioned such that "thick" end 1 l a is at the top of the view, and "thin"
end l l c is at the bottom of the view. We refer to this as the 0° angular orientation. Note that frame 13 is rotated 90°
clockwise with respect to frame 11, such that "thick" member 13a is now rightward of "thin°~
member 13c. We define this as the 90° orientation. Similarly, frame 16 has been rotated 90°
clockwise with respect to frame 13, such that "thick" member 16a is now at the bottom of the view, and "thin" member 16c is now at the top of the view. We define this as the 180°
orientation. Finally, frame 17 has been rotated 90° clockwise with respect to frame 16, such that "thick" member 17a is now at the bottom of the view, and "thin" member 17c is now at the top of the view. We define this as the 270° orientation. Frame 18 is shown in the 90° orientation. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, at least two of the frames of the plurality have different angular orientations.

Figure 7 is a perspective view of a second embodiment of° the frame assembly, wherein the individual frames are not in contact with one another; and, Figure 8 is a perspective view of a third embodiment of the frame assembly, similar to that depicted in Figure l, except with the plurality of frames arranged in a single tier.
At the outset, it should be appreciated that like drawing numbers on different drawing views identify identical structural elements of the invention. While the present invention is described with respect to what is presently considered to be the preferred embodiments, it is understood that the invention is not limited to the disclosed embodiments.
Figure 1 is a perspective view of display assembly 10 as viewed from the front.
Display assembly 10 broadly comprises a plurality of hollow wedge-shaped frames (11, 13, 16, 17 and 18) secured together to form an assembly. (Although five hollow wedge-shaped frames are shown in the drawings, the claims are directed to a display assembly having only a plurality (at least two) of hollow wedge-shaped frames.) In a preferred embodiment, at least two of the plurality of frames share a common co-planar surface, as will be described infra, which co-planar surface enables respective works of art 14 to be displayed is a common plane.
Also, in a preferred embodiment, the individual frames are arranged directly adjacent one another, although the claims are not intended to be so limited (i.e., two or more of the frames may be arranged in spaced-apart relationship, with a gap therebetween). It should also be appreciated that Figure 1 depicts an assembly where the frames are stacked in two tiers, with frames 13 and 16 arranged on a bottom tier, and frames 17, 18 and 11 arranged in a second upper tier. It should be apparent that the frames may be arranged in a single tier (as shown in Figure 8, for example), stacked in a double-tier arrangement as shown, a triple-tier, etc. Also, although the arrangement of assembly shown in Figure 1 generally resembles a rectangle in overall shape, it should be apparent to those having ordinary skill in the art that other shapes of the assembly are possible, including but not limited to round (circular), polygonal (triangular, rectangular, etc.), asymmetrical, etc.
Figure 2 is a perspective view of the display assembly shown in Figure l, except viewed from the back. Framing member 19 circumscribes the plurality of hollow wedge-shaped frames 1 l, 13, 16, 17, and 18. In this embodiment, then, framing member 19 is located "behind"
the plurality of frames as shown in Figure 2. however, it should be readily apparent to one skilled in the art that framing member 19 may be attached to the plurality of frames in another configuration, such as around the outsides of the frames.
Figure 2 also shows rear panel 32 and support means 30, as is well known in the framing art. As shown in Figure 2A, support means 30 comprises hinge 34 having a first hinge element 36 fixedly connected to rear panel 32. Second hinge element 38 is pivotally connected to the first hinge element. Support elexhent 40 is faxedly secured to second hinge element 38.
Support element 40 is operatively arranged to be rotated away from backing panel 20 to provide a structural support when apparatus 10 is placed on a horizontal surface. When display 10 is to be stored or hung on a wall, support element 40 may be rotated to lie flat against rear panel 32.
Retaining means 24 (shown in Figure 2) holds rear panel 32 in place behind the plurality of frames. In the embodiment shown in Figure 2, retaining means 24 comprise three rotating tabs. However, it should be readily apparent to one skilled in the art that other means of securing a backing panel to a frame are possible, and these modifications are intended to be within the spirit and scope of the invention as clairrned.
Figure 3 is an exploded perspective view of the display assembly shown in Figure 1. This view clearly shows that display assembly 10 comprises a plurality of hollow wedge-shaped frames 17, 18, 1l, 13 and 16. By "wedge-shaped" it is meant that each frame assumes a v~ell-known shape of wedge. For example, frame 11 includes a "thick" end comprising member 1 la, and a "thin" end comprising member 11c. The remaining two side members l 1b and l 1d are tapered from the thick end to the thin end. By "hollow" it is meant that the four frame members create a viewing aperture bounded by the frame members. For example, frame 11 includes viewing aperture 11 e.
For clarity and completeness in description, Figure 3 also shows frames 13, 16, 17 and 18. Frame 13 includes "thick" frame member 13a, opposing parallel "thin"
frame member 13c, and tapered side members 13b and 13d, joined together as shown. Frame 16 includes "thick"
frame member 16a, opposing parallel "thin" frame member 16c, and tapered side members 16b and 16d, joined together as shown. Frame 17 includes "thick°' frame member 17a, opposing parallel "thin" frame member 17c, and tapered side members 17b and 17d, joined together as shown. Frame 18 includes "thick'° frame member 18a, opposing parallel '°thin" frame member 18c, and tapered side members 18b and 18d, joined together as shown, Figure 3 also illustrates another novel aspect of the display assembly, that of "angular orientation'" of the plurality of frames. With reference to Figure 3, note that frame 11 is positioned such that "thick" end 1 l a is at the top of the view, and "thin"
end l l c is at the bottom of the view. We refer to this as the 0° angular orientation. Note that frame 13 is rotated 90°
clockwise with respect to frame 11, such that "thick" member 13a is now rightward of "thin°~
member 13c. We define this as the 90° orientation. Similarly, frame 16 has been rotated 90°
clockwise with respect to frame 13, such that "thick" member 16a is now at the bottom of the view, and "thin" member 16c is now at the top of the view. We define this as the 180°
orientation. Finally, frame 17 has been rotated 90° clockwise with respect to frame 16, such that "thick" member 17a is now at the bottom of the view, and "thin" member 17c is now at the top of the view. We define this as the 270° orientation. Frame 18 is shown in the 90° orientation. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, at least two of the frames of the plurality have different angular orientations.
