Abstract
Magnetic Photo Gallery is a triple layer magnetic multiple photo frame that enables the user to place multiple pictures, in one frame, on any magnetic surface. The top and bottom layers are made of magnetic material (the bottom to adhere to the magnetic surface of choice and the top to adhere to the bottom magnet over the clear center cover).
The center layer is made of a clear plastic sheeting to protect the user's picture (s) from the elements, such as a regular picture frame would employ.

Description
PROVISIONAL PATENT APPLICATION
Specification Name/Title of the Invention Magnetic Photo Gallery Background Or Problem:
Most people display pictures on their refrigerator, as well as various other magnetic surfaces.
This is often accomplished by utilizing a magnet or a single-picture magnetic frame.
Unfortunately, if a person wishes to display more than just one picture on their refrigerator, they, have to use another magnet and risk giving their refrigerator door a cluttered or disorganized look. Currently, there is no means of displaying a collection of pictures on a refrigerator, in one organized frame.
Solution:
Magnetic Photo Gallery is a multi-picture frame that adheres to a refrigerator or any magnetic surface. This displays a collage of photographs of family, friends, landscapes or anything else, in one, compact space, eliminating the typical, cluttered look when multiple pictures are secured to a refrigerator. The user would be able to choose and change any number of pictures in and out of Magnetic Photo Gallery, and when they are done, they can simply adhere it the refrigerator or any other magnetic surface. This would provide a convenience for anybody who enjoys displaying pictures in their household, and especially on their refrigerator, as Magnetic Photo Gallery would provide them the option of hanging multiple pictures in a new and more organized manner. With Magnetic Photo Gallery, all of the displayed pictures would remain securely in place when the refrigerator door is opened and closed and they would also be protected from excessive heat and other cooking elements in the kitchen. Magnetic Photo Gallery gives a person a secure, easily visible place to display more than one picture.
Detailed Description Of Invention:
Magnetic Photo Gallery is collage-style picture frame that secures to a refrigerator door or any other magnetic surface. Magnetic Photo Gallery would measure approximately 16"
in width and 12" in height, providing enough room to accommodate up to 13 separate photos.
The individual pictures would be displayed in variously shaped cutouts on one large, magnetic frame. Magnetic Photo Gallery could be manufactured in a variety of colors, shapes and layouts to accommodate user needs and preferences. With its three-layer design, Magnetic Photo Gallery would provide a fast and easy way to exhibit multiple pictures, securely, on the front of a refrigerator door or any other magnetic surface. The bottom layer is the portion that features the magnetic securing device that attaches to the refrigerator. The user would arrange the selected photos on the surface of this layer. A clear, plastic cover would then be placed over the photos, for protective purposes.
The user would then apply the cutout frame on top of the clear cover and simply place the entire unit on the refrigerator, where it will magnetically adhere in a firm and secure manner. Because of Magnetic Photo Gallery's easy assembly, the user can change the pictures as often as they would like, in a matter of minutes.
