Definitions

  • This invention relates to a device for displaying a sheet of artwork such as a print, poster, advertising material, photograph, or any other material which may be inserted in a picture frame.
  • the removable side of the frame is held in place solely by fingers which are provided adjacent its ends and which are a sliding fit in channels provided in the adjacent sides of the frame.
  • the present invention provides a device in which the removable side of the frame is fixed to the corresponding edge portion of the backing board by releasable means independent of the remainder of the frame.
  • the releasable means comprises one or more snap fitting connectors on the removable frame side and the corresponding edge portion of the backing board.
  • Such connectors may, for example, be of the ball-catch type or ball-and-socket type.
  • the device illustrated comprises a rigid backing board 1 (with a thickness of about 9mm) surrounded by a frame 2 which is fixed to the backing board and supported by it in use, when the backing board 1 is secured to a wall or other site location by means of screws passing through countersunk holes 3.
  • the shorter sides 4 and the lower side 6 of the frame 2 are permanently or semi-permanently fixed to the backing board 1 (and to each other), e.g. by glueing and/or pinning.
  • the upper side 7 of the frame is removable and its mitred ends 8 simply bear against corresponding mitred ends 9 of the side 4.
  • Each connector comprises a downwardly widening element 11 fixed on the side 7 and a double ball catch 12 fixed in a recess 13 in the upper edge of the backing board 1.
  • the action of the balls 14 on the element 11 urges the side 7 downwards, thereby pressing its ends 8 against the corresponding ends 9 of the sides 4, these ends co-operating to locate the side 7 accurately in conjunction with the connectors 11/12.
  • the side 7 may abut against the upper edge of the backing board 1, but there will normally be a slight gap between them.
  • the frame section has a front flange 16 from which the backing board 1 is spaced rearwardly to define a peripheral internal frame channel 17 for receiving and locating a transparent sheet 18 (e.g. glass or plastic) and a sheet 19 of artwork.
  • a transparent sheet 18 e.g. glass or plastic
  • the transparent sheet 18 is removable vertically when the upper frame side 7 is removed. (Alternatively, the sheet 18 may be fixed in the frame.)
  • the upper edge of th backing board 1 has a recess 21 which is overlapped by the artwork sheet 19.
  • pads 22 on the rear of the frame 2 space the frame from the site location, in order to prevent mutual damage to the frame side 7 and the site location during removal and fitting of the side 7.
  • Figure 4 shows a modified frame section having a rear flange 23 which abuts the rear of the backing board 1, thereby providing a more robust construction and improved location of the removable upper frame side 7.
  • ends of the side 7 may be provided with downwardly projecting elements received in corresponding guides in the sides 4.
  • the elements 11 may be fixed on the backing board and the ball catches 12 on the side 7.
  • the side 7 may be releasably connected to the backing board by other means than those described above.
  • a sliding connection such as a dovetail joint or tongue and groove joint may be provided so that the frame side is removable by sliding it along the edge of the backing board; in this case at least one end of the removable side would be so arranged as to be unimpeded by the adjacent frame side.
  • more than one of the sides of the frame may be made removable, since the basis of the support for the artwork is the rigid backing board, which is fixed to the site location.
  • One or more of the non-removable frame sides may themselves be fixed on the site location.
  • the device may be fixed to the site location by other convenient means. e.g. eyelets screwed into the backing board and suspended from the site location.
  • the backing board may be fixed in the frame so as to be removable.
  • the upper edge of the backing board may have a single elongate recess replacing the recesses 13 and 21, or it may be cut down to the level of the recesses l3 along the whole of its length, so that the sheet of artwork extends beyond the entire upper edge of the backing board.
