Description

The invention relates to a picture frame for the rapid exchange of images and photos, comprising a profile frame, a rear wall, a passe-partout, and optionally a glass pane, wherein magnets detachably connect the rear wall and passe-partout.

Picture frames have already been proposed in which magnets are used. An example of this is the German patent DE 2527711 C3 in which the back wall is fixed by magnets in the frame.

It is an object of the invention to provide a picture frame in which the pictures or photos are interchangeable quickly and with little effort. Also, the risk of arrangement errors of the image, in particular relative to the mat, during assembly compared to known picture frames to be reduced.

The stated object is achieved by the subject matter of claim 1. Advantageous embodiments are subject of the dependent claims or described below.

The invention relates to a picture frame with a frame structure for the rapid exchange of images and photos comprising or consisting of a profile frame, a rear wall, a mat and, if available, a glass pane. The picture frame uses magnetic attraction forces of at least one magnetic pairing which fixes the back wall with the pictures or photos against the mat and, if present, also the glass pane in the profile frame. The passe-partout and, if available, the glass pane are firmly connected to the profile frame during normal use. In each case a part of the magnetic mating is attached to the mat and the other part to the rear wall. The rear wall is free, preferably free on all sides, against the magnetic forces from the frame removable (preferred) or sitting on the frame and is removable from the frame against the magnetic forces.

One advantage of the invention is that the passe-partout and, if present, also the glass pane are firmly connected to the profile frame during the use of the rule. So it's just the picture or photo on the back wall to align.

The risk of slipping when inserting the image is reduced. The correct re-inserting of pictures and photos is thus significantly simplified and accelerated.

The back wall can be left without erecting when joining frame and rear wall in the horizontal and the frame is simply slipped over this. Preferably, the rear wall is flat on the rear frame or is preferably freely inserted into the frame, so that the frames of the frame secure the rear wall against lateral displacement, but the rear wall is freely removable from the frame.

"Front" and "Rear" are relative indications. Unless stated otherwise, "rear" means directed to the wall to which the picture frame is attached, and "front" means directed to the viewer standing in front of the picture.

If the magnets or ferromagnetic counterparts are not attached to the profile frame as before, but according to the invention on Passepartout, then there is more freedom in their placement. It is preferably provided that the magnetic pairings, i. two permanent magnets or a permanent magnet and a ferromagnetic counterpart, in the rear wall or in the Passepartout or in the back wall and passepartout are wholly or partially embedded. Preferably, each of the magnetic pairings is embedded in each case in the back wall and mat. If the magnetic pairings are each embedded in the rear wall, then the mat and the back wall can come to lie flat on each other. The magnetic pairings are preferably designed in the form of platelets.

According to a preferred embodiment of the invention it is provided that the magnets consist of alloys of magnetizable materials, such as iron or nickel, with at least one element selected from the group of rare earths, in particular neodymium, e.g. under the name "neodymium magnets" are commercially available. These magnets have despite their high attraction only a small size and can be made very thin. The magnets are permanent magnets.

According to one embodiment of the invention it is provided that the profile frame has an L-shaped or U-shaped profile, wherein in a U-shaped profile of the rear leg to the rear wall has a shorter leg length. The front leg of the L-shaped or U-shaped profile, which defines the viewing cutout, is used on the inside to create the passe-partout and, if present, also the glass pane.

Passepartout and if available also glass pane are fixed by means of fasteners such as pins or pressure springs on the profile frame, so that these on the inside of the front leg of the L-shaped or U-shaped profile rest. The pins can be stuck laterally in the profile frame or glued into the profile frame.

For the use of pressure springs is provided according to a further embodiment of the invention that the U-shaped profile has a rear leg on which support the pressure springs and set in the assembled state, the mat and, if available, the glass.

According to a further embodiment of the invention, it is provided that the fastening means, such as pins or pressure springs, are wegbiegsam or pressed to exchange the Passepartout and / or the glass.

According to a further embodiment of the invention, it is provided that the inside of the front leg acts like an undercut, and that in each case a part of the magnetic pairing in the undercut is arranged outside the sight of the viewing cutout in the mat.

According to a further embodiment of the invention it is provided that the rear wall is a rigid foam plate. In these, the recesses can be incorporated for each part of the magnetic pairing, e.g. in the form of a hole or in the form of a depression, which is open to the image and closed towards the wall.

According to a further embodiment of the invention it is provided that in the Passepartout depressions for each part of the magnetic pairing einarbeitbar, e.g. in the form of a hole or in the form of a depression, which is open to the image and closed towards the wall.

According to a further embodiment of the invention it is provided that the passepartout has several passepartout sections for storing images or photos. In this way, for example, photos and calendar sheets can be arranged above or below each other. An arrangement with several Passepartoutausschnitten is from the DE 202007018212 U1 known.

The invention will be explained in more detail with reference to the drawing. Show it:

1 a picture frame according to the invention in section, wherein a passepartout a glass pane in the profile frame firmly connected to the profile frame during rule use and the passe-partout and the glass pane are fixed in the profile frame with pins,

2 the picture frame 1 , wherein the mat and the glass pane in the profile frame but are attached with pressure springs.

1 shows an embodiment of the invention in which a picture frame ( 1 ) with a profile frame ( 2 ) of L-shaped profile ( 3a ) is used. The profile frame ( 2 ) can be made of wood, metal or plastic. The L-shaped profile ( 3a ) of the profile frame ( 2 ) has a back wall ( 4 ) and a front leg ( 5 ), which projects inward and a picture frame view cutout ( 6 ) limited. The front leg ( 5 ) has an inside ( 7 ), which look like an undercut ( 23 ) and to a passepartout ( 8th ) and, if present, a glass pane ( 9 ) can be created or pressed. The application or pressing can by means of thin pins ( 10 ), for example, in the back wall ( 4 ) are shot.

The use of a glass sheet ( 9 ) in addition to the mat ( 8th ) is optional.

In the embodiment according to 2 has the profile frame ( 2 ) a U-shaped profile ( 3b ) with the back wall ( 4 ), the front leg ( 5 ) and a shorter rear leg ( 11 ). On the back thigh ( 11 ) are inside pressure springs ( 12 ). The pressure springs ( 12 ) press the inserted passe-partout ( 8th ) and the possibly existing glass sheet ( 9 ) against the inside ( 7 ) of the front leg ( 5 ).

As a rule, the pens ( 10 ) or the pressure springs ( 12 ) the passepartout ( 8th ) and, if present, also the glass pane ( 9 ) on the profile frame ( 2 ) firmly. There is only one special case when, for example, the passepartout ( 8th ) or the glass pane ( 9 ) should be replaced. Then the bendable thin pins ( 10 ) or pressure springs ( 12 ), for example, bent away to make the exchange. After this change process are passepartout ( 8th ) and glass pane ( 9 ) again on the profile frame ( 1 ).

The pencils ( 10 ) and pressure springs ( 12 ) are just examples of the mounting options. Any other type of attachment, which can be canceled at short notice and which allows a clear view of the rear wall or this made removable without resistance, can be used.

To the picture frame ( 1 ) belongs to the profile frame ( 2 ) with the passe-partout attached to it ( 8th ) and, if present, also the glass pane ( 9 ) as a back wall ( 13 ) serving foam board. The foam board ( 13 ) may have a thickness of eg 5 mm. This back wall ( 13 ) when loading the picture frame ( 1 ) with a picture or photo ( 19 ) in the profile frame ( 2 ) brought in. Magnetic attractions are used for this.

Magnetic attractions are provided by magnetic pairings ( 14 ). These consist of pairwise attracting magnets ( 15a . 15a ) or magnets ( 15b ) and ferromagnetic counterparts ( 15b ), also each referred to as part of magnetic pairings. As magnets neodymium magnets are used. These consist of alloys of magnetizable materials containing neodymium. The magnets are commercially available under the name "Neodymium Magnets" and are characterized by platelet-like design. For example, the neodymium magnets have a diameter of 10 mm and a thickness of 2 mm. There are four pairs of magnets ( 14 ) for tightening the rear wall ( 13 ) intended.

For the magnetic pairings ( 14 ) is a part of the pairings ( 14 ) on the mat ( 8th ). The other part of the mating ( 14 ) is applied either to the rigid foam board ( 13 ) glued ( 1 ) or in holes ( 16 ) of the foam board ( 13 ) ( 2 ).
