Definitions

  • the present invention is designed for the object decoration market. It is a frame construction system, which allows the assembling of an infinite number of frames, making a frames panel with infinite configurations, only dependent on the number and sizes of single frames acquired.
  • the system to disclose is conceived to work for any graphics on paper format, like photographs, drawings or similar (hereinafter referred as "graphics") , and another to work for painting canvas frame or other graphics whose support is thicker than paper.
  • This patent aims to innovate the existing frame market with the described system, which besides having a common function of a simple frame (to protect, to expose, to emphasize or decorate graphics) , allows the users to combine and assemble infinite frame panels, personalized and adapted to the decoration of spaces, to the thematic of the graphics and to the individual personal taste.
  • the Frames' market is widely developed with a large variety of different kinds of frames: from the simplest to the more ornamented, for one or more exposing areas, different sizes, colors and materials, to apply on walls or to settle on horizontal surfaces.
  • Frames with more than one exposing area are limited to its own original shape and configuration, which is fixed and limits the user forcing him to adapt to them his own intentions and graphics to expose.
  • One of the frame aspects which has originated some patent creations is the wish to make them versatile in respect to their dimensions, in a way of a standardization that one frame can change its dimensions, height and width, and that can be reused.
  • the present invention is connected to the problematic of the versatility of frames in respect to the matter of conjugate more than one single frame to compose multiple exposing areas making a frame panel and expose several graphics of the same theme or not, constituting decorative panels, on an infinity of configurations and sizes.
  • matrix a matrix of horizontal and vertical coordinate axes, perpendicular and at the same distance between them. This matrix defines the unity base of the smallest frame and all of the progression sizes of the major frames (fig.l) .
  • a single frame is constituted by two different parts, the corner part and the side part.
  • the corner part is unique, which means it is always the same; the side part is made with different length sizes.
  • the small size corresponds to the unity of the matrix, which originates the smallest frame .
  • the corner part has a square shape and it holds on its four sides a female mortise to assemble four side parts of frames ( fig .2 ) .
  • the side parts have a tenon on top and along with their length, on the shortest frame size, they have one female mortise at the mid length, that works for both sides to allow assembling two others side parts, one on each side.
  • the number of this female mortise along the side parts increases gradually at the same time as it increases the side part dimension, both defined on the matrix (fig. 3) .
  • the female mortises are placed on the side parts on the intersection points coincident to the matrix axes (fig.4) . In this way it is possible to articulate and assemble all sizes of parts and to build infinite configurations of frame panels, depending only on the number and dimensions of parts that the user has, of which some examples are presented (fig.5) .
  • the base frame and the smallest of the matrix have a square shape. Following the progression unities in the matrix, it is possible to define the dimensions of the bigger frames. They have a square shape when they have equal side sizes, and rectangular when they have sides with different sizes, two by two .
  • the frame parts have a "T" profile shape, where the upper part is larger and it is the visible one.
  • the part below is thinner, structural and contains the female mortises and tenons .
  • Mortises and tenons can be made in different ways, of which two examples are presented.
  • the male mortise is a protruding pin on the top of the side parts of the frame, made on the central axes of the below part of the "T" profile which fits in one female mortise on the corner parts, and on the female mortises along the frame side parts.
  • the fixation of this assembling is made by a screw that completes this connection (fig.6).
  • the second shape presented is constituted by the mail mortise on top of the sides parts made by a 45° cut and at a half height of the low "T" profile part to overlay over the corner parts, which have half of is original height on the lower "T” profile part.
  • the side parts have their female mortises along the length made by two 45° cuts at half of the height of the lower "T” part to allow assembling two other side parts per mortise one on each side.
  • the complete connections of this assembling are also made by screws (fig.7) .
  • the upper and larger part of the "T" profile apart from being the visible part, it also serves as backboard and guard to the layers of the acrylic protection, to the graphics on paper support and back card protection.
  • the fixation of the graphics layers to the frame is made by fixing parts according to the adopted female and male mortises.
  • this fixing part is similar to the top tenon of the side parts, which also have a larger and cut "head" to fit on the female mortise holes of the frame side parts fixed with a screw (fig.8) .
  • this fixing part has a wedge shape with one of the sides cutted at 45° to fit on the female 45° mortise on the frame side parts also fixed with a screw (fig.9) .
  • the upper and visible "T" profile part can be flat and smooth or contain any kind of decoration, being an option of the production studies for commercialization.
  • fixation of the frames and the frames panel to the walls are made by any kind of resistant string which snares the graphics layer fixing parts, and then are hanged up on any kind of resistant wall fixing screw made for this obj ective ( figs .11 e 12) .
  • the presented frame can be produced with any kind of material currently used for this type of object like, massive wood, recycled wood, plastic, or any metal alloy, being this decision left to the study and the producer.

Abstract

La présente invention concerne le marché des cadres existant, avec pour but de marquer sa différence par la caractéristique innovante du système de construction de cadre. Le système de cadre infini permet le montage et le démontage de cadres uniques ou l'assemblage de plusieurs cadres, de façon à créer ainsi des panneaux de cadre avec une infinité de configurations et de tailles, en fonction du nombre et des dimensions des cadres acquis, d'une façon personnalisée et créative, visant à la présentation de plusieurs graphismes tels que des photographies, des dessins, des peintures sur toile, ou similaires, aptes à la décoration d'espaces et à l'exposition de thèmes, en fonction du goût personnel de l'utilisateur. Le système est conçu à l'aide d'une matrice d'axes de coordonnées, perpendiculaires et à la même distance entre eux, qui définissent les dimensions de cadres et leurs points de liaison, les cadres étant constitués par deux types de parties, la partie coin et la partie latérale, qui sont attachées entre elles par des vis sur des mortaises mâles/femelles.
