Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method and arrangement for framing posters or the like according to the preambles of claims 1 and 3 respectively.
- a frame suitable for use in the method and arrangement according to the present invention is disclosed in EP-B-0 141 823.
- the frame consists of a top arrangement 8 and a plurality of side members 5.
- the top arrangement and side members are linked together by removable corner pieces 1 to form an enclosing frame.
- the side members 5 are each provided with a groove 6 which is intended to receive edge portions of a rigid display sheet 7.
- the top arrangement 8 presents a slot 9 to allow the rigid display sheet 7 to be slid into the grooves 6 in the frame.
- the frame defines an opening in which e.g. a display sheet can be accommodated.
- the display sheet must be sufficiently rigid so that it will not flex to an extent where its edge portions come out of the grooves, otherwise the sheet could fall out of the frame.
- This need for a rigid sheet implies that, although the frame can be easily dismantled, the rigid sheet will always present a certain fixed surface area, thereby hindering transportation.
- the rigid sheet is to be inserted into the frame via the slot in the top arrangement, sufficient space must be left adjacent the top arrangement to allow the sheet to be brought up to the slot.
- Applicant has recognized a need for a method and an arrangement for framing posters or the like which facilitate both the insertion of the poster in a frame of the above-mentioned type and the transportation and storage of the frame and its contents.
- a method for framing a poster or similar in a frame said frame made up of a top arrangement and at least two side members, said at least two side members each being provided with a groove intended to receive edge portions of said poster and a backing element, and said top arrangement presenting a slot to allow said poster and backing element to be slid into the grooves in the frame in a direction of insertion, characterized in that said backing element is made from a material which is sufficiently flexible to allow it to be rolled up along its length corresponding to said direction of insertion so that during insertion only those parts of the backing element which are either within the frame or immediately adjacent the slot in the top arrangement lie in a plane accommodating said grooves.
- the invention further provides an arrangement for framing a poster or similar, said arrangement comprising a frame and a backing element for supporting said poster in said frame, the frame having a top arrangement and at least two side members, said at least two side members each being provided with a groove intended to receive edge portions of said poster and a backing element, and said top arrangement presenting a slot to allow said poster and backing element to be slid into the grooves in the frame in a direction of insertion, characterized in that said backing element is made from a material which is sufficiently flexible to allow it to be rolled up along its length corresponding to said direction of insertion so that during insertion only those parts of the backing element which are either within the frame or immediately adjacent the slot in the top arrangement lie in a plane accommodating said grooves.
- Fig. 1 corresponds to Fig. 1 of EP-B-0 141 823.
- reference numeral 2 denotes a frame consisting of a top arrangement 8 and a plurality of side members 5.
- the top arrangement and side members are linked together by removable corner pieces 1 to form the enclosing frame.
- the side members 5 are each provided with a groove 6 which is intended to receive edge portions of a rigid display sheet 7.
- the top arrangement 8 presents a slot 9 to allow the rigid display sheet 7 to be slid into the grooves 6 in the frame 2.
- the rigid display sheet 7 is replaced by a backing element 10 of certain flexibility.
- the backing element must, however, be sufficiently rigid so that when it is inserted in the frame 2 it imparts adequate support for a poster 11 or similar.
- the material for the backing element is selected so that it is sufficiently flexible to allow the backing element 10 to be rolled up along its length corresponding to its direction of insertion into the frame 2.
- the flexibility of the backing material is such that during insertion only those parts of the backing element 10 which are either within the frame 2 or immediately adjacent the slot 9 in the top arrangement 8 lie in a plane accommodating the grooves 6.
- Suitable material for the backing element 10 includes corrugated cardboard, the corrugations of which extend transversely to the direction of insertion of the backing element in the frame 2.
- the backing element 10 may be made from a plastic laminate of the type shown in Fig. 3.
- the laminate consists of two parallel sheets 12, 13 of plastic, joined together by ribs 14 to thereby create channels 15 extending transversely across the backing element 10.
- Such a laminate can have a total thickness of around 3 mm.
- the laminate is provided with a series of transversely extending cuts 16 which penetrate one layer 13 of the laminate, to thereby open up selected channels 15. These cuts 16 enable the backing element 10 to be rolled up in the direction of the arrows A.
- the flexibility of the backing element 10 presents two major advantages. Firstly, a consumer can purchase the frame 2 in a disassembled state together with the backing element 10 in a rolled up state. This greatly facilitates both the storage of the frame and element as well as their transportation. Secondly, the flexibility of the backing element 10 aids the framing of the poster 11 or similar, as will be described in the following.
- the poster 11 to be framed is laid onto the backing element 10.
- the leading transverse edges of the backing element and poster are inserted in the slot 9 in the top arrangement 8 of the frame.
- edge portions of the backing element 10 and poster 11 are automatically accommodated by the grooves 6 in the frame side members 5.
- top arrangement 8 of the frame may also be positioned on one side of the frame 2 to thereby allow insertion of the backing element 10 from the side.
- the required flexibility of the backing element can be imparted by scoring stiff paper or cardboard with lines transverse to the direction of insertion of the backing element in the frame.
- the frame itself need not be rectangular, but can present a partially circular or multi-sided shape.
- the poster be pre-affixed to the backing element, for example via adhesive, so that the poster may present a smaller surface area than the backing element.
- the backing element itself be directly printed with display material.
