Definitions
- the present invention relates to a borderless frame for photographs, prints and the like, with simplified packaging.
- borderless frames are currently commercially available and generally are provided by means of a panel-like backing element, which is typically made of cellulose-based wood-like material, known commercially by the trade name Masonite®, on which a pane of optically transparent material, which can be made of glass or plastics, is superimposed.
- a panel-like backing element typically made of cellulose-based wood-like material, known commercially by the trade name Masonite®, on which a pane of optically transparent material, which can be made of glass or plastics, is superimposed.
- elastic clips are generally used which have an end that can be coupled to the edge of the transparent pane and another end that enters with a snap action in millings provided parallel to the edge of the panel-like element.
- Such embodiment allows to couple easily the transparent pane and the backing element, but has exposed corners, and therefore during packaging for sale it is necessary to provide blocks made of expanded material that have the function of protecting the corner regions to avoid damage thereto.
- FR 1 121 210 A discloses another type of borderless frame according to the preamble of claim 1.
- the aim of the invention is to solve the problems described above by providing a borderless frame for photographs, prints and the like with simplified packaging, which allows to protect the corners of the frame without having to resort to the use of blocks of expanded material, which are moreover an element that requires subsequent disposal.
- an object of the invention is to provide a frame in which the corners are not accessible, consequently having the advantage of better complying with accident prevention regulations.
- Another object of the present invention is to provide a borderless frame for photographs, prints and the like with simplified packaging which, thanks to its particular constructive characteristics, is capable of giving the greatest assurances of reliability and safety in use.
- Still another object of the present invention is to provide a borderless frame for photographs, prints and the like with simplified packaging that can be obtained easily starting from commonly commercially available elements and materials and is also competitive from a merely economical standpoint.
- the borderless frame for photographs, prints and the like generally designated by the reference numeral 1, comprises a panel-like backing element 2, which can be made of any material deemed appropriate and typically is made of a material known commercially as Masonite ® , mdf (medium-density fiberboard), and others.
- the size of the panel-like backing element may be any according to the requirements.
- a pane 3 made of optically transparent material is superimposed on the panel-like backing element 2 and can be made of glass, plastics and the like; it is optionally also possible to apply a mirror.
- bracket-like bodies are provided which can be arranged so as to straddle the edge of the panel-like element 2 and of the pane 3 so as to firmly fasten together the panel-like element 2 and the pane 3 with the photograph, print or the like arranged in the frame.
- Bracket-like body there is at least one angular bracket-like body, generally designated by the reference numeral 10, which has front edges 11 arranged at right angles to each other and superimposed on the outer face of the transparent pane 3.
- edges 11 are associated with a central portion 12, which is arranged at right angles to the plane formed by the edges 11 and is connected to a rear edge 13, which lies substantially parallel to the edges 11.
- the angular bracket-like body which advantageously is made of optically transparent material, can be arranged so as to straddle the edge of the panel-like element 2 and of the pane 3 at the corner regions.
- bracket-like body 10 In order to make the coupling stable, there are means for fastening the bracket-like body 10 on the panel-like element 2, which are provided by means of a through seat 20 that is formed on the rear edge 13, in which it is possible to insert a fastening screw 21, which advantageously has an expanded head 22 for manual actuation, optionally provided with a cross-shaped recess 23 for actuation by means of a tool.
- the fastening screw 21 has a tip 24 which in practice engages the panel-like backing element 2, achieving both the locking of the angular bracket-like body on the frame and the mutual fastening between the pane 3 retained by the front edges 11 and the panel-like backing element 2, which is firmly pressed.
- At least one contact protrusion 30, which is laterally adjacent to the fastening screw 21 and is designed to define a wall contact plane, such that the head of the screw does not touch the wall.
- the angular bracket-like bodies besides acting as a frame assembly element, also perform a packaging function, since they protect adequately the corner region; therefore, during packaging it is not necessary to use the blocks of expanded material, as typically provided in the solutions of the background art, but a heat-shrink sheet is sufficient to protect the frame adequately.
- bracket-like bodies generally designated by the reference numeral 40, which have an elongated shape and a U-shaped transverse cross-section, so as to straddle a straight portion of the edges; the same reference numerals as the body 10 are used for the parts that constitute the body 40.
- Figure 2 shows a frame in which, in addition to the angular bracket-like bodies, two intermediate bracket-like bodies have been arranged on the long sides, but it is of course also possible to provide a frame in which the connection between the panel-like backing element and the transparent pane is provided by utilizing a plurality of intermediate bracket-like bodies arranged on the respective sides.
- Another important aspect of the invention further consists in that the frame can be assembled without using tools of any kind.
