The present invention relates to a frame for displaying photographs, paintings, prints, calligraphy, and the like.

When exhibiting photographs, paintings, prints, calligraphy, etc. (hereinafter referred to as "photographs, etc.") at an exhibition or exhibition, they must be exhibited in a frame designated by the exhibition or exhibition. A typical picture frame consists of a backing board on which a photo, etc. is placed, an outer frame (frame material) made of wood or aluminum installed around the backing board, a mat placed on the front side of the photo, etc. It is equipped with a surface material made of glass or plastic that protects the

However, picture frames having face materials made of glass or plastic are very dangerous as they may be damaged if dropped. In addition, since the frame of the picture frame mentioned above is made of wood or aluminum, it is troublesome to assemble.Especially when installing a string for wall hanging, it is necessary to attach clips to the outer frame of wood or frame the aluminum frame. In this case, after adjusting the position of the clip by sliding it, the string must be attached to the clip, which is very troublesome.

Therefore, the present invention has been made to solve such problems, and can be sold as a product in an already completed state, with a wall hanging string already attached, and the work of simply pasting photos, etc. To provide a picture frame that can be used to decorate a wall surface using only a piece of paper. Another object of the present invention is to provide a picture frame in which both sides of the frame can be used without the need to remove a wall-hanging string from the frame.

The present invention employs the following means to achieve the above object.

The picture frame according to the present invention includes:
A base member formed of rectangular cardboard made of paper or plastic with different designs, colors, and patterns on the front and back sides;
an outer peripheral frame provided on the outer periphery of the base member and having a through hole on the outer peripheral surface;
a wall hanging cord installed on the opposite side of the outer peripheral frame;
Equipped with
The wall-hanging string includes a ring-shaped string that is attached to the through hole of the outer peripheral frame, and a construction string that is installed on the ring-shaped string so that the tension can be adjusted using a flexible metal fitting or a similar device made of resin. It is characterized by becoming.

Since the picture frame according to the present invention is provided with an outer peripheral frame around the cardboard, it is possible to provide a picture frame that can be displayed immediately by simply pasting a photograph or the like onto the cardboard. Moreover, since the picture frame according to the present invention has different designs, colors, and patterns on the front and back sides of the cardboard, it is possible to select and use the front and back sides of the frame as desired. Furthermore, since the picture frame is already provided with a construction string whose tension can be adjusted, it can be hung on a wall without having to attach the construction string.

Moreover, in the picture frame according to the present invention, the cardboard may be a two-layer type cardboard.

By using a two-layer type of cardboard, a picture frame with high strength can be obtained.

Furthermore, in the picture frame according to the present invention, the wall-hanging string may be capable of being hung on opposite sides when made longest using a flexible metal fitting or a similar device made of resin. .

By adopting such a configuration, the wall hanging string can be placed on both the front side and the back side without removing it from the outer peripheral frame. Therefore, regardless of whether a photograph or the like is pasted on either the front side or the back side, the wall hanging string can be placed on the opposite side to the side on which the photograph or the like is pasted, and it can be attached to the wall.

Furthermore, the picture frame according to the present invention may be characterized in that a cushioning sheet having a removable double-sided tape or a hook-and-loop fastener is provided to protect the surface of the base member.

By adopting this configuration, a cushioning sheet can be pasted on the side that is not in use, so that even if the cardboard comes into contact with a wall hook or nail when it is hung on a wall, it will not be damaged. The surface can be protected and contact marks can be prevented from being formed on the surface.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view schematically showing a picture frame 100 according to an embodiment. FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram showing a cross section of the frame 100 according to the embodiment.

Next, an embodiment of the picture frame 100 according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. Note that the embodiments and drawings described below illustrate some of the embodiments of the present invention, and are not used for the purpose of limiting the configurations to these, and do not depart from the gist of the present invention. It can be changed as appropriate within the range.

FIG. 1 shows a perspective view of a picture frame 100 according to an embodiment. As shown in FIG. 1, the picture frame 100 according to this embodiment mainly includes a base member 10, an outer frame 20, and a wall hanging string 30.

The base member 10 is a rectangular plate-like member made of cardboard made of paper or plastic, and is used by directly pasting works such as photographs on its surface. The cardboard may be of a single-layer type, but as shown in FIG. 2, it is preferable to use a two-layer type of cardboard in which the wavy core portion is formed in two layers. By using such corrugated cardboard, the base member 10 can be made with high strength and not easily crushed. The base member 10 has different designs, colors, patterns, etc. on the front and back sides, and the side with the desired design can be used depending on the photo to be attached. Note that the front and back sides do not necessarily have to have designs, patterns, etc., and may simply be different colors, such as black on the front side and white on the back side.

As shown in FIG. 2, the outer peripheral frame 20 is made of a long member having a U-shaped cross section, and is arranged so as to sandwich the outer peripheral sides of the base member 10. The four corners are tapered at 45 degrees and are provided so that they can be attached without any gaps. The outer frame 20 is fixedly attached to the base member 10 with adhesive, double-sided tape, hook-and-loop fastener, or the like. A through hole 21 is provided on the outer peripheral surface of the outer peripheral frame 20, and a wall hanging string 30, which will be described later, is attached to the outer peripheral frame 20.

As shown in FIG. 1, the wall hanging string 30 is a string installed between opposite sides of the picture frame 100, and is used when hanging the picture frame 100 on a wall. As shown in Figure 1, by installing the picture frame 100 vertically and horizontally and between the top and bottom, it can be used even when the frame 100 is rotated 90 degrees, and if it is rectangular, it can be hung either vertically or horizontally. You will be able to do this. The wall-hanging string 30 has a ring-shaped string 31 attached to the through-hole 21 of the outer peripheral frame 20, and the ring-shaped string 31 is formed so that its tension can be adjusted via a flexible metal fitting or a similar device 40 made of resin. It consists of a constructed construction string 32. The ring-shaped string 31 is attached from the through hole 21 so as to form a ring shape. Specifically, both ends of the string may be inserted from the outside of the outer circumferential frame 20 through the through hole 21 and tied inside to form a knot so that they cannot be removed from the through hole 21. One end 32a of the construction string 32 is fixed to one ring-shaped string 31a, and the other end 32b is attached to a flexible metal fitting or similar instrument 40 made of resin through the ring of the other ring-shaped string 31b. Fixed. A swivel or similar device 40 made of plastic has two holes through which the tether 32 can be threaded and attached by tying a knot at the end, as shown in FIG. By using such a flexible metal fitting or a similar device 40 made of resin, tension is applied when the flexible metal fitting or similar device 40 made of resin is separated from the ring-shaped string 31b on the other side, and the flexible metal fitting or similar device 40 made of resin is tensioned. It is fixed by friction between the hole part of a similar instrument 40 made of resin and the string. The construction string 32 is formed so that it can be moved to the opposite side (for example, from the back side to the front side) as shown by the arrow when the wall hanging string 30 is formed long in the loosened state. has been done. Thereby, even if a work such as a photograph is attached to either the front side or the back side, it can be hung on the wall by moving it to the opposite side without removing the wall hanging string 30. At this time, in order to shorten the length of the string 30, the through hole 21 is preferably provided within 1/3 of the length of the frame side from the corner. That is, when hung on a wall, it is preferable that the ring-shaped string 31 be placed within the upper ⅓ of the length in the height direction. This is because by adopting such a configuration, the length when moving the wall hanging cord 30 to the opposite surface can be shortened, compared to the case where the through hole 21 is arranged at the center of each side. .

Furthermore, a buffer sheet 50 for protecting the surface of the base member 10 may be optionally provided. The cushioning sheet 50 is not particularly limited, but preferably uses a bubble cushioning material that is formed from a plastic film and traps air in cylindrical protrusions, and uses the air pressure to realize the function of the cushioning material. good. Bubble cushioning material is translucent, so even if a cushioning sheet is provided, photographs etc. can be seen. It is preferable that the buffer sheet 50 is provided with a removable double-sided tape or hook-and-loop fastener 51 so that it can be attached and removed freely. In addition, in the case of a hook-and-loop fastener, it is necessary to provide a male or female hook-and-loop fastener on each of the buffer sheet 50 and the base member 10 of the frame 100. By providing such a buffer sheet 50, the surface of the base member 10 can be protected. It is especially good to use it to protect the side opposite to the side on which a work such as a photograph is pasted. In this way, by hanging the picture frame 100 on the wall while protecting the side opposite to the side on which works such as photographs are pasted, the back side of the base member 10 can be prevented from being damaged by the hook for hanging the wall hanging string 30. It can prevent dirt from getting dirty due to dust, etc.

As shown in the embodiments described above, it can be used as a frame for photographs and the like.
