Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen zur Aufnahme einer beliebigen Anzahl von Bildern insbesondere photografischer Art ausbildbaren Bildhalter, mit einem vorderseitigen, wenigstens ein Bildfenster umschliessenden Rahmenorgan, sowie einer gegen dieses festgelegten Rückplatte zwecks Lagesicherung eines hinter dem Bildfenster plazierbaren Bildes.The invention relates to an image holder which can be designed to take any number of images, in particular a photographic type, with a front-side frame member enclosing at least one image window, and a back plate fixed against it for the purpose of securing the position of an image which can be placed behind the image window.

Jeder Hobby-Photograf hat das Bedürfnis, einige besonders gelungene Photos des einen oder anderen Films für einige Zeit als gediegenen Wandschmuck präsent zu haben und diese Photos anlässlich eines nächsten guten.Filmresultats mühelos wechseln zu können.Every hobby photographer has the need to have some particularly successful photos of one or the other film present for a while as a solid wall decoration and to be able to change these photos effortlessly on the basis of the next good film result.

Das bestehende Angebot von Wechselbildhaltern wird diesem Bedürfnis nicht gerecht; sei es aus Gründen der Handhabung und/oder der Aesthetik. Diese Bildhalter - mit Rahmen oder rahmenlos, mit oder ohne Maske - animieren äusserst selten jemanden, einen Bildwechsel vorzunehmen (im Gegensatz zur Artikeldefinition): die Manipulation ist offensichtlich zu umständlich. Ausserdem schliessen diese Wechselrahmen eine moderne Anordnung einer Mehrzahl von Photos mit Standardformat aus.The existing range of alternate image holders does not meet this need; be it for reasons of handling and / or aesthetics. These picture holders - with or without a frame, with or without a mask - very rarely animate someone to change the picture (in contrast to the article definition): the manipulation is obviously too cumbersome. In addition, these removable frames exclude a modern arrangement of a large number of photos with a standard format.

Ein bekanntes, aus kassettenartigen Elementen kombinierbares Bildhaltersystem ist mit gleichen Nachteilen behaftet.A known image holder system that can be combined from cassette-like elements has the same disadvantages.

Die Aufgabe der Erfindung besteht darin, einen zur Aufnahme einer beliebigen Anzahl von Bildern ausbildbaren Bildhalter zu schaffen, der sich ganz besonders zur Plazierung von Photos rechteckiger Standardgrösse in Längs- oder Querformat eignet (z.B. im Format 9x13 cm), jedoch auch Photos quadratischer Standardgrösse aufnehmen kann (z.B, im Format 9x9 cm). Die Konstruktion soll möglichst einfach, das Auswechseln der Bilder sehr handlich sein.The object of the invention is to provide an image holder which can be formed to take any number of images and which is particularly suitable for placing photos of rectangular standard size in longitudinal or landscape format (for example in the format 9x13 cm), but also take photos of square standard size can (e.g., in the format 9x9 cm). The construction should be as simple as possible, the end changing the pictures can be very handy.

Die Erfindung besteht darin, dass das Rahmenorgan des Bildhalters in Draufsicht pro Bildfenster zwei flächen- und formgleiche, sich in der Art eines griechischen Kreuzes symmetrisch kreuzende Rechteckrahmen aufweist, und dass das Bildfenster wenigstens auf zwei parallelen Seiten je durch einen von einem Endbereich eines Rechteckrahmens überragten Längsbalken des anderen Rechteckrahmens begrenzt ist. Durch diese Gestaltung wird die Rechteckform des Bildfensters zu einer quadratischen Grund- bzw. Hüllform der Bildeinheit erweitert, ohne dass die Quadratform optisch in Erscheinung tritt. Quadrate lassen sich jedoch beliebig aneinanderfügen, derart, dass für jede Bildeinheit das Bildfenster quer oder länger ausgerichtet werden kann. Dabei erscheint der Bildhalter jedoch keineswegs als eine Gruppierung von Quadraten sondern als Geflecht von Rechteckrahmen. Weitere Vorteile der Kreuzform bezüglich der Anordnung der Rückplatte und des Bildlagerbettes, einer zusätzlichen Frontplattenstabilität usw. sind aus der Figurenbeschreibung ersichtlich.The invention consists in the fact that the frame organ of the picture holder in plan view has two rectangular frames of the same shape and shape, which intersect symmetrically in the manner of a Greek cross, in plan view, and that the picture window protrudes at least on two parallel sides by one of an end region of a rectangular frame Longitudinal bar of the other rectangular frame is limited. With this design, the rectangular shape of the picture window is expanded to a square basic or envelope shape of the picture unit, without the square shape appearing optically. However, squares can be joined together in any way so that the image window can be aligned across or longer for each image unit. However, the image holder does not appear to be a grouping of squares, but rather a network of rectangular frames. Further advantages of the cross shape with regard to the arrangement of the back plate and the image storage bed, an additional front plate stability, etc. can be seen from the description of the figures.

Die weitere Erfindung betrifft einen Bildhalter der eingangs präzisierten Gattung in der Ausbildung als Kombinationssystem, dessen Kombinationseinheit aus einer für eine gegenseitige Verbindung ausgebildeten Einb'ildkassette besteht, welche ein ein Bildfenster aufweisendes Rahmenorgan besitzt, dem rückseitig ein Lagerbett für ein hinter dem Bildfenster plazierbares Bild und ein Sitz für eine Rückplatte angeformt sind. Sie besteht darin, dass das eine quadratische Grund- bzw. Hüllfläche aufweisende Rahmenorgan in symmetrischer Anordnung ein längliches Bildfenster aufweist, dass sich die rückseitig im Rahmenorgan gelagerte Rückplatte mit dem Bildfenster kreuzt und so bemessen ist, dass wenigstens einer von zwei Endbereichen des Bildlagerbettes rückseitig offen ist, und dass die Rückplatte im Bildfensterbereich einen geringen, das Bildlagerbett bildenden Abstand von der Rückseite des Rahmenorgans aufweist.The further invention relates to an image holder of the type specified at the outset in the form of a combination system, the combination unit of which consists of a single-image cassette designed for a mutual connection, which has a frame member having an image window, on the back of which a storage bed for an image that can be placed behind the image window, and a seat for a back plate are molded. It consists in that the frame member, which has a square base or envelope surface, has an elongated picture window in a symmetrical arrangement, that the rear plate mounted in the rear of the frame member intersects with the picture window and is dimensioned such that at least one of two end regions of the picture bed is open on the back and that the back plate in the picture window area is at a small distance from the back of the frame member forming the picture storage bed.

In der Zeichnung sind Ausführungsbeispiele der Erfindung dargestellt. Es zeigen:

  • Fig. 1 bis 5 ein aus Einbildkassetten bestehendes Bildhaltersystem,
  • Fig. 6 und 7 einen aus ineinandergreifenden Schienen bestehender Bildhalter und
  • Fig. 8 und 9 einen Bildhalter mit einem für mehrere Bildfenster ausgebildeten einteiligen Rahmenorgan.
Exemplary embodiments of the invention are shown in the drawing. Show it:
  • 1 to 5 an image holder system consisting of single image cassettes,
  • 6 and 7 an image holder consisting of interlocking rails and
  • 8 and 9 an image holder with a one-piece frame organ designed for a plurality of image windows.

Der Bildhalter nach den Fig. 1 bis 5 weist die Einbildkassette E auf. Entsprechend Fig. 5 sind sieben solcher Kassetten miteinander kombiniert. Jede Kassette E besteht aus dem als Frontplatte ausgebildeten Rahmenorgan 1 und der Rückplatte 2. Vorderseitig besitzt die Frontplatte 1 die beiden sich symmetrisch kreuzenden Rechteckrahmen la, lb, wodurch sich ein kreuzförmiger Grundriss mit quadratischer Hüllform 3 ergibt. Der eine Rechteckrahmen lb ist durch den anderen (la) unterbrochen, wodurch im letzteren das rechteckige Bildfenster lc entsteht. Um die Seitenlänge des Hüllquadrates 3 und somit die Grösse der Kassette E für eine gegebene Bildfenstergrösse möglichst klein zu halten, sind die Querbalken ld der Rechteckrahmen la, lb schmaler als deren Längsbalken le.The image holder according to FIGS. 1 to 5 has the single-image cassette E. 5, seven such cassettes are combined. Each cassette E consists of the frame member 1 designed as a front plate and the rear plate 2. On the front side, the front plate 1 has the two symmetrically crossing rectangular frames 1 a, 1 b, which results in a cruciform plan with a square envelope shape 3. One rectangular frame lb is interrupted by the other (la), which creates the rectangular picture window lc in the latter. In order to keep the side length of the envelope square 3 and thus the size of the cassette E as small as possible for a given picture window size, the transverse bars ld of the rectangular frames la, lb are narrower than their longitudinal bars le.

Infolge des rückseitigen Umfangsrandes lf wird in der Frontplatte 1 zunächst ein Sitz für die Rückplatte 2 gebildet. Diese hat einen rechteckigen Grundriss und erstreckt sich - den unterbrochenen Rechteckrahmen lb ausfüllend - quer zur Bildfensterlängsrichtung. Sie ist an den mit 4 bezeichneten Stellen mit dem Umfangsrand if der Frontplatte 1 verrastet. Die Rückplattenschlitze 2a erleichtern den Rast-und Entrastvorgang. In seiner Querrichtung ist die Rückplatte 2 mit dem etwa Bildfensterbreite aufweisenden flachen, gemeinsam mit der Frontplatte 1 das Lagerbett 5 für ein zu plazierendes Photo bildenden Kanal versehen. Da die Endbereiche 5a des Bildlagerbetts 5 rückseitig offen, d.h.As a result of the rear peripheral edge lf, a seat for the rear plate 2 is first formed in the front plate 1. This has a rectangular plan and extends - filling the interrupted rectangular frame lb - transversely to the longitudinal direction of the picture window. It is locked at the points labeled 4 with the peripheral edge if of the front plate 1. The back plate slots 2a facilitate the locking and unlocking process. In its transverse direction, the back plate 2 is provided with the flat, approximately picture window width, together with the front plate 1 the bearing bed 5 for a photo-forming channel to be placed. Since the end regions 5a of the image storage bed 5 are open on the back, ie

nicht durch die Rückplatte 2 abgedeckt sind, lässt sich das Bild (Photo) von einer Bildfensterquerseite her (in Richtung des Pfeiles P) in das Lagerbett 5 einschieben und wieder entnehmen. Aufgrund der Randunterbrechung lh und der bogenförmigen Frontplattenvertiefung li kann der Rand des zu entnehmenden Bildes z.B. mit dem Daumennagel untergriffen werden. Der leichteren Bildentnahme dienen auch die Schrägflächen 2c der Rückplatte.are not covered by the back plate 2, the image (photo) can be inserted into the bed 5 from a side of the image window (in the direction of the arrow P) and removed again. Because of the edge interruption lh and the arcuate front plate recess li, the edge of the image to be removed can e.g. can be reached under with the thumb nail. The inclined surfaces 2c of the rear plate also serve to facilitate image removal.

Zur gegenseitigen Befestigung der Einbildkassetten E dienen die Verbindungslaschen 6. Für diese ist der Rückplatte 2 längsmittig einer jeden Umfangsseite je ein dreiseitig von dem Steg 2d umschlossener Sitz 2e rückseitig angeformt. Innerhalb des Sitzes erhebt sich eine konvexe Wölbung 2f mit einer Rastöffnung 2g. Diese wirkt druckknopfartig mit den Verbindungslaschen 6 angeformten Vorsprüngen 6a zusammen. Da sich der Laschensitz 2e örtlich nicht auf einen schmalen Rückplattenrandbereich beschränkt, sondern einen verhältnismässig grossen Flächenbereich der Rückplatte 2 einnimmt, ist die Verbindung äusserst stabil. Mit den beiden einen Kanal bildenden Stegen 6b hintergreift die Verbindungslasche 6 entsprechende Bereiche des Frontplattenumfangsrandes lf. Die Laschenanformungen 6c dienen dem Ansetzen eines Schraubenziehers oder Messers zum Zwecke der Entrastung.The connecting straps 6 serve to fasten the single-image cassettes E to one another. For this, the rear plate 2 is formed on the rear side on the rear side of the rear plate 2 along the center of each circumferential side, on each side on three sides by the web 2d. A convex curvature 2f with a latching opening 2g rises within the seat. This interacts with the projections 6a molded onto the connecting lugs 6 in the manner of a push button. Since the tab seat 2e is not limited locally to a narrow rear plate edge region, but rather occupies a relatively large surface area of the rear plate 2, the connection is extremely stable. With the two webs 6b forming a channel, the connecting lug 6 engages behind corresponding regions of the front plate peripheral edge lf. The tabs 6c are used to attach a screwdriver or knife for the purpose of unlocking.

In den Eckbereichen der Rückplatte 2 befinden sich rückseitig weitere konvexe Wölbungen 2h mit den Schlitzanordnungen 2i. Diese dienen der Festlegung von mit knopfartig verdickten Enden versehenen schnurartigen Befestigungsorganen 7. Jede Schlitzanordnung besteht aus drei T-förmig zueinander angeordneten Schlitzen mit einem schlüssellochartig erweiterten Zentralbereich, wobei jeweils der mittlere Schlitz diagonal in die jeweilige Ecke des Hüllquadrats 3 gerichtet ist. Um die Vorteile dieser Schlitzanordnung zu verstehen, ist zu bedenken, dass jede Kassette mit längs oder quer ausgerichtetem Bildfenster lc montierbar-ist, und dass die Schwerpunktslinie kassettenmittig liegen kann (Fig. 5) oder aber auf der Trennlinie zwischen zwei benachbarten Kassetten (z.B. bei vier miteinander ein Quadrat bildenden Kassetten). Im letzteren Fall ist die Schnur 7 nicht wie in Fig. 2 zu befestigen, sondern erstreckt sich von einer Schlitzanordnung einer Kassette zur benachbarten Schlitzanordnung der Nachbarkassette. All diese Anforderungen sind bei der Aufhängevorrichtung berücksichtigt.In the corner areas of the back plate 2 there are further convex curvatures 2h with the slot arrangements 2i on the back. These are used to fix cord-like fastening elements 7 provided with button-like thickened ends. Each slot arrangement consists of three T-shaped slots with a keyhole-like enlarged central area, the middle slot being directed diagonally into the respective corner of the envelope square 3. In order to understand the advantages of this slot arrangement, it should be borne in mind that each cassette can be mounted with a longitudinally or transversely oriented picture window 1c and that the center of gravity can lie in the center of the cassette (Fig. 5) or on the dividing line between two adjacent cassettes (for example, with four cassettes forming a square). In the latter case, the cord 7 is not to be fastened as in FIG. 2, but extends from a slot arrangement of a cassette to the adjacent slot arrangement of the neighboring cassette. All of these requirements are taken into account in the suspension device.

Die Rechteckrahmen la, lb der aus transparentem thermoplastischem Material geformten Frontplatte 1 sind z.B. als Siebdruck oder Folienheissprägung auf diese aufgebracht.The rectangular frames la, lb of the front plate 1 formed from transparent thermoplastic material are e.g. applied to these as screen printing or hot foil stamping.

Die Vorteile dieses Bildhalters sind verschiedenster Art. Die quadratische Hüllform der mit den Rechteckfenstern lc versehenen Kassetten erlaubt eine problemlose unbeschränkte Kassettenkombination, wobei für jede Kassette die Fensterausrichtung (Längs- oder Querformat) nach Belieben wählbar ist. Bei einer Kassette mit rechteckigem Bildfenster lc verbleiben vom unterbrochenen Rechteckrahmen lb nur die die Längsseiten lk des anderen Rechteckrahmens la überragenden Endbereiche 11. Jedes rechteckige Bildfenster lc kann durch Anbringen der an sich unterbrochenen Längsbalkenbereiche le' des entsprechenden Rechteckrahmens lb in ein quadratisches Bildfenster lc' verwandelt werden, das sich gleichgut der Gesamtkombination anpasst. Es ist von Vorteil, die Längsbalkenbereiche le' bedarfsweise nachträglich in Form einer entsprechend bedruckten Klarsichtfolie vorzusehen, die einfach in das Bildlagerbett 5 eingeschoben wird. Dadurch erhöhen sich die Kombinationsmöglichkeiten für den Benutzer, indem dieser einen z.B. für die Photostandardgrösse von 9x13 cm bemessenen Bildhalter nach Bedarf für 9x13-Photos in Längs- und/oder Querformat und/oder für 9x9-Photos auslegen bzw. kombinieren kann. Trotzdem die Kassetten E mit ihren Rändern unmittelbar aneinanderstossen, liegen die Bildfenster lc, lc' wenigstens zweiseitig auf gegenseitiger Distanz. Das ergibt innerhalb und trotz der Gruppenanordnung eine individuelle Präsentation eines jeden Bildfensters lc, lc', d.h. Bildes. Trotzdem sind alls Bildfenster lc'lc' untereinander (durch den sich zwangsläufig ergebenden, einem einfachen Geflecht ähnelnden Verband) in gediegener Art miteinander verbunden. Die einfache Aufhängevorrichtung in Form der Schlitzanordnungen 2i trägt jeder möglichen Bildhalterkombination Rechnung. Ein Wechsel der Bilder mit Rechteckformat kann selbst bei an der Wand hängendem Bildhalter vorgenommen werden. Die Gesamtkonstruktion erfordert einen minimalen Aufwand an Bauteilen, Material und Montage.The advantages of this image holder are of various kinds. The square envelope shape of the cassettes provided with the rectangular windows lc allows a problem-free, unlimited combination of cassettes, the window orientation (longitudinal or landscape format) being freely selectable for each cassette. When a cassette with a rectangular display window lc remain from the interrupted rectangular frame lb only the longitudinal sides of the other rectangular frame lk la superior end portions 1. 1 Each rectangular picture window lc can be converted into a square picture window lc 'by attaching the longitudinal bar areas le' of the corresponding rectangular frame lb, which adapts equally well to the overall combination. It is advantageous to provide the longitudinal beam areas le 'subsequently, if necessary, in the form of a correspondingly printed transparent film which is simply pushed into the image storage bed 5. This increases the possible combinations for the user, in that he can lay out or combine an image holder, for example, for the photo standard size of 9x13 cm, for 9x13 photos in longitudinal and / or landscape format and / or for 9x9 photos. In spite of the fact that the edges of the cassettes E abut one another directly, the picture windows 1c, 1c 'lie at least on both sides at a mutual distance. This results in an individual presentation of each picture window lc, lc ', ie picture, within and despite the group arrangement. Nevertheless, all the picture windows lc'lc 'are in ge with each other (due to the inevitably resulting association that resembles a simple network) diegen kind connected. The simple suspension device in the form of the slot arrangements 2i takes into account every possible image holder combination. The pictures with rectangular format can be changed even with the picture holder hanging on the wall. The overall construction requires a minimum of components, material and assembly.

Insbesondere die breiten Längsbalken le der Rechteckrahmen la, lb eignen sich gut für eine verschiedenartigste graphische Gestaltung.In particular, the wide longitudinal bars le of the rectangular frames la, lb are well suited for a wide variety of graphic designs.

Entsprechend der gestrichelten Darstellung 2k in Fig. 3 ist es möglich, der Rückplatte 2 wenigstens eine mit leichtem Druck gegen die Frontplatte 1 anliegende Feder 2k anzuformen. Dadurch wird es möglich, in einem Bildfensterendbereich den Umfangsrand lf zwecks noch leichteren Photowechsels völlig zu unterbrechen. Desweiteren würde die Feder 2k ein quadratisches Photo, sowie ein Photo mit erheblichem Untermass zentrieren.According to the dashed representation 2k in FIG. 3, it is possible to form at least one spring 2k which lies against the front plate 1 with slight pressure. This makes it possible to completely interrupt the peripheral edge lf in an image window end area in order to make changing photos even easier. Furthermore, the spring 2k would center a square photo, as well as a photo with considerable undersize.

Die Kreuzform wirkt sich insbesondere bei als dünne Frontplatte 1 ausgebildetem Rahmenorgan stabilisierend aus.The cross shape has a stabilizing effect, in particular when the frame member is designed as a thin front plate 1.

Mittels einer hinter die plazierten Bilder geschobenen flexiblen Folie lassen sich diese auch innerhalb der nach hinten offenen Endbereiche 5a der Bildlagerbetten 5 schützend abdecken.By means of a flexible film pushed behind the placed images, these can also be covered in a protective manner within the end regions 5a of the image storage beds 5 which are open towards the rear.

Die die Bildfenster lc, lc' umschliessenden, beim Ausführungsbeispiel als Belag der Frontplatte 1 erstellten Rechteckrahmen la, lb lassen sich natürlich auch in klassischer Bauweise als unabhängige Rahmenkörper erstellen, in die zur Abdeckung der Bildfenster lc, lc' von hinten transparente Scheiben eingelegt werden (auf die natürlich auch verzichtet werden kann). Bezüglich der Ausführung genannter Rechteckrahmen la, lb stellen die Ausführungsbeispiele lediglich besonders kostengünstige, sich trotzdem durch einen besonders modernen Stil auszeichnende Realisierungen dar.The rectangular frames la, lb enclosing the picture windows lc, lc ', which in the exemplary embodiment are used as a covering for the front panel 1, can of course also be constructed in a conventional manner as independent frame bodies, into which transparent panes are inserted from behind to cover the picture windows lc, lc' ( which of course can also be dispensed with). With regard to the execution of the said rectangular frames 1a, 1b, the exemplary embodiments merely represent particularly inexpensive implementations which are nevertheless distinguished by a particularly modern style.

Der Bildhalter nach den Fig. 6 und 7 setzt sich in alternativer Bauweise aus den vier Schienen 11 zusammen. Zwei der Schienen sind als Teillängen dargestellt (an den Stellen llf gebrochen), um die Erweiterungsmöglichkeiten des Systems anzudeuten. Die Schienen kreuzen sich in der Art eines einfachen Geflechts. Innerhalb ihrer Kreuzungsbereiche übergreifen sie sich gegenseitig, wozu sie mit den in Querrichtung verlaufenden Kanälen lla, llb versehen sind. Die in den Kreuzungsbereichen jeweils obenliegenden Schienenlängsbereiche llg sind mit den längs und quer ausgerichteten Bildfenstern 12a, 12b versehen, die - in der Art des ersten Ausführungsbeispiels - von sich kreuzenden Rechteckrahmen 13 eingeschlossen sind. Anhand von Fig. 6 ist gezeigt, dass sich die Rahmenlängsbalken gut z.B. mittels Lochreihen 13a, Querstreifen 13b, Längsstreifen 13c oder dergl. graphisch gestalten lassen.6 and 7 is composed of the four rails 11 in an alternative construction. Two of the rails are shown as partial lengths (broken at points llf) to indicate the expansion options of the system. The rails cross in the manner of a simple network. Within their intersection areas they overlap one another, for which purpose they are provided with the channels 11a, 11b running in the transverse direction. The longitudinal rail areas 11g located at the top of the intersection areas are provided with the longitudinally and transversely oriented picture windows 12a, 12b, which — in the manner of the first exemplary embodiment — are enclosed by intersecting rectangular frames 13. With reference to Fig. 6 it is shown that the longitudinal frame beams are well e.g. can be designed graphically by means of rows of holes 13a, transverse strips 13b, longitudinal strips 13c or the like.

Die Querkanäle llb der Schienenlängsbereiche llg sind zwecks Bildung der Bildlagerbetten 14 unterhalb ihrer Bildfenster 12a, 12b von der gegenseitigen Auflageebene llc aus vertieft und in Schienenlängsrichtung beidseitig erweitert. Die Ausnehmungen lld der sich in den Kreuzungsbereichen rückseitig befindenden Schienenlängsbereiche llh dienen der Realisierung in etwa gleicher Wandstärken.The transverse channels 11b of the longitudinal rail areas 11g are deepened from the mutual support plane 11c for the purpose of forming the picture storage beds 14 below their picture windows 12a, 12b and expanded on both sides in the longitudinal direction of the rails. The recesses lld of the longitudinal rail areas 11h located at the rear in the crossing areas serve to implement approximately the same wall thicknesses.

Zur gegenseitigen Befestigung der Schienen 11 sind in den Ecken der Kreuzungsbereiche Bohrungen lle für nicht dargestellte selbstrastende Verbindungszapfen vorgesehen. Diese könnten bildhalterrückseitig zusätzlich zur Befestigung einer Aufhängeschnur o.dgl. dienen. Es ist natürlich möglich, den Schienen 11 entsprechend dem ersten Ausführungsbeispiel angeordnete Rastmittel zur gegenseitigen Direktverrastung anzuformen.For mutual fastening of the rails 11 bores are provided in the corners of the intersection areas for self-locking connecting pins, not shown. These could be on the back of the picture holder in addition to attaching a hanging cord or the like. serve. It is of course possible to form locking means arranged on the rails 11 in accordance with the first exemplary embodiment for mutual direct locking.

Werden alle Schienen 11 nur in der Länge eines Bildfensters 12a, 12b ausgeführt, so entstehen dadurch Einbildkassetten ähnlich dem ersten Ausführungsbeipiel (mit gleich vielen Kombinationsmöglichkeiten). In diesem Fall müssten die rückseitigen Schienen der Kassetten mit Mitteln für eine gegenseitige Laschenbefestigung versehen sein.If all rails 11 are made only in the length of an image window 12a, 12b, this results in single image cassettes similar to the first embodiment (with the same number of possible combinations). In this case, the back rails of the cassettes be provided with means for a mutual tab attachment.

Verzichtet man auf Kombinationsmöglichkeiten durch den Benutzer, so lässt sich ein für mehrere Photos ausgebildeter Bildhalter nach der Erfindung auch mit einer einteiligen Frontplatte versehen. Ein solches Beispiel ist anhand der Fig. 8 und 9 schematisch dargestellt. Die Frontplatte 21 ist vorderseitig entsprechend Fig. 6 gestaltet und mit vier Bildfenstern versehen. Rückseitig besitzt die Frontplatte 21 den umlaufenden Rand 21a, die Trennstege 21b sowie den zentrischen, ein Quadrat bildenden Steg 21c. Die Lagerbetten 23 für die gestrichelt eingezeichneten Photos 22 liegen in Richtung der Pfeile, die auch die Einschubrichtungen für die Photos angeben. Die Rückplatte 24 ist ebenfalls einteilig und lässt die äusseren Endbereiche 23a der Lagerbetten frei, damit die Photos 22 seitlich eingeschoben und entnommen werden können.If the user does not have any combination options, an image holder designed for several photos according to the invention can also be provided with a one-piece front plate. Such an example is shown schematically with reference to FIGS. 8 and 9. The front plate 21 is designed on the front according to FIG. 6 and provided with four picture windows. On the back, the front plate 21 has the peripheral edge 21a, the separating webs 21b and the central web 21c forming a square. The storage beds 23 for the photos 22 shown in broken lines lie in the direction of the arrows which also indicate the insertion directions for the photos. The back plate 24 is also in one piece and leaves the outer end regions 23a of the bearing beds free so that the photos 22 can be inserted and removed from the side.

Rückseitig sind dem Umfangsrand 21a Klemmvorsprünge 25 angeformt. Zwischen diesen lagert eine elastische, rückseitig der Rückplatte 24 verlaufende, selbstklemmend verspannte Kordel 26. Der Kordelbereich 26a dient zur Aufhängung.On the back, the peripheral edge 21a is formed with clamping projections 25. Between these rests an elastic, self-clamping tensioned cord 26, which runs on the rear side of the back plate 24. The cord region 26a is used for suspension.

Bei jedem der Ausführungsbeispiele könnte man für den Zuschnitt der Frontplatte auch die äussere Hüllform wählen und die Eckbereiche (21d, 21e nach Fig. 8) der kreuzförmigen Einheiten z.B. transparent belassen.In each of the exemplary embodiments, one could also choose the outer envelope shape for cutting the front panel and the corner regions (21d, 21e according to FIG. 8) of the cruciform units, e.g. Leave transparent.

Ein leichtes Plazieren und Wechseln quadratischer Bilder (Photos) kann z.B. durch Aufheften derselben (mittels eines Stückchens doppelseitigen Klebbandes) auf eine dünne Unterlage entsprechenden Rechteckformats erreicht werden.Easily placing and changing square pictures (photos) can e.g. can be achieved by attaching the same (by means of a piece of double-sided adhesive tape) onto a thin base of appropriate rectangular format.

Bei den Ausführungsbeispielen sind die Bildfenster lc; 12a, 12b stets rechteckig ausgebildet bzw. allseitig gradlinig begrenzt. Stattdessen ist auch eine ovale oder gar kreisrunde Fensterform denkbar; insbesondere in Abwechslung zum rechteckigen Bildfenster innerhalb einer grösseren Bildhalterkombination. Durch einen geschwungenen Verlauf der Begrenzungslinien eines Bildfensters etwa rechteckiger Grundform ist ein eher romantisches graphisches Design realisierbar.In the exemplary embodiments, the image windows lc; 12a, 12b always rectangular or delimited on all sides in a straight line. Instead, an oval or even circular window shape is also conceivable; especially in alternation to the rectangular picture window within a larger picture holder combination. A more romantic graphic design can be realized through a curved course of the boundary lines of a picture window of approximately rectangular basic shape.
