Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Industrial application field] The present invention relates to a picture frame in which photographs, printed paintings, certificates, etc. are attached for viewing and enjoyment as decoration. This invention relates to a structure of a picture frame that can be reliably fitted with a single touch, and also allows easy attachment and detachment of the back plate.

[Prior Art] As shown in FIG. 2, conventional picture frames that are commercially available and used include placing a photograph or the like on a frame body 10, fitting a back plate 11 into the frame body 10, and attaching each frame on the back side of the frame body 10. Four claw-like fasteners 12 provided approximately at the center of the sides were rotated and passed over the back plate surface, thereby attaching photographs and the like. Note that 13 is a leg.

[Problems to be solved by the invention] In this conventional picture frame, the back plate is attached and detached by sequentially operating each of the four claw-like stops.
This operation is extremely cumbersome, and since the claw-like stopper is designed to hold the back plate on the same surface as the back of the frame, it is weakly held down, and photos inside the frame are In small cases, there was a drawback that photos etc. moved.

The present invention eliminates the above-mentioned drawbacks of conventional picture frames.

[Means for Solving the Problems] The gist of the present invention is to cut inward the side edge of at least a portion of the back plate that fits inside the frame. It is characterized in that the plate is formed with an irregularly shaped portion that protrudes elastically from the inner fitting surface of the frame body, and the irregularly shaped portion is configured to come into pressure contact with the inner fitting surface of the frame body when the back plate is fitted inside. It's a picture frame.

[Example] The present invention will be described in more detail below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing an example of the picture frame of the present invention from the back side, with the frame and the back plate separated.

First, in FIG. 1b, reference numeral 1 denotes a frame body constituting the main body of the picture frame, which is molded from hard plastic.

The center of this frame 1 forms a through hole 2, and a transparent plastic plate or glass plate is placed on it, and a photograph or the like (not shown) is placed thereon so that it can be seen from the front. This is what I did.

Reference numeral 3 denotes a fitting frame formed on the frame 1 so as to protrude toward the rear surface.

Reference numeral 4 in FIG. 1a is a back plate, which is made of the same hard plastic as the frame 1, and has a leg 5 at the center of the back surface of the back plate 4, whose peripheral edge 6 is attached to the frame 1 when fitted. It is inscribed in the fitting frame 3.

A notch facing inward of the back plate 4 is formed in a part of the peripheral edge 6 of the back plate 4, and a notch 7 is formed by rapidly enlarging the notch from the middle.
The cutout portion 7 having such a shape forms band-like portions 8, 8 whose tips are spaced apart from each other.

The band-shaped parts 8, 8 are formed so as to slightly project from the inside of the fitting frame 3 of the frame body in the direction of the arrow.

Further, reference numerals 9 and 9 denote circular end portions that constitute a part of the above-mentioned overhang and are provided to reinforce the tips of the band-shaped portions 8 and 8 and to facilitate attachment and detachment of the back plate.

[Function] The back plate 4 is fitted into the frame 1 described above, and at that time, the strips 8, 8 provided on the back plate 4
Since it protrudes slightly outward, it presses against the inner wall of the frame body to ensure its fitting, and it can also be fastened to any part corresponding to the thickness of the photograph, etc. be able to.

In the picture frame of the present invention, the shape of the back plate does not have to be the irregularly shaped part formed by the pair of band-like bodies described above. In any case, it may be any irregularly shaped portion that protrudes elastically from the fitting frame.

[Effects of the invention] According to the invention, the back plate is partially shaped differently from the shape of the fitted part of the frame, and the elasticity of this irregularly shaped part is used to press the back plate against the inner circumferential wall of the frame. This eliminates the need for individual operations such as those required with conventional claw-like fasteners, allows for one-touch fitting, and is extremely easy to remove. What is particularly advantageous is that the back cover can be fitted arbitrarily according to the thickness of the photograph, etc., so that there is no misalignment of the attached photograph, etc.

Further, the structure of this pressure welding is not complicated at all and is simple, and the back plate and frame body having such a structure can be easily molded.
