Abstract

PURPOSE:To simultaneously place plural photographs by covering the outer edge of a base board in which the surface of an iron plate is covered with plating, painting or paper and cloth, with a frame body, and detaining the photograph to the base board with a magnet. CONSTITUTION:A photograph detaining picture frame set 1 is constituted of a picture frame 2, a substrate 3 and plural magnets 4, and as for the picture frame 2, the substrate 3 is fitted into a step difference part 21 of the reverse side and fixed. As for the base board 3, on the surface of an iron plate 5, thin cloth 6 of a single color, for instance, having a ground design is stuck, the magnet 4 is that of an anisotropic and columnar shape having strong magnetic force, and on other face than the bottom face, the same cloth 6 as that of the base board is stuck. As for the magnet 4, since its magnetic force is strong, even if each photograph P is superposed and detained, it does not slip down, and an arrangement of the photograph P can be set freely.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Industrial Field of Application] The present invention relates to the structure of a picture frame set for easily securing photographs.

[Prior Art] Photo frames have various structures and shapes and are widely used.

A typical structure consists of a frame-like frame, a transparent body such as glass or transparent plastic, and a plate of the same size, and the photograph is sandwiched between the transparent body and the plate. It is locked at.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] However, as long as the photo is held in such a sandwiched manner, there is a high possibility that the photo will shift within the photo frame. Therefore, photo frames are usually sized according to the size of the photos to be placed in them, and it is nearly impossible to fit many small photos into a large photo frame.

Also, the process of putting photos into these traditional photo frames is
It was complicated and it was difficult to replace it frequently. In particular, if you want to put multiple photos in one photo frame, you have to sandwich them between a transparent body and a plate and consider their placement, which, combined with the complexity of the work, makes it difficult to arrange them freely. becomes.

[Means for Solving the Problems] Therefore, in view of the above points, the present inventor has finally perfected the present invention as a result of intensive research.The characteristic of the present invention is that the surface is not covered with scratches, paint, paper, or cloth. The present invention consists of a substrate that is an iron plate covered with a material or a combination thereof, a frame that covers the outer edge of the substrate, and a plurality of magnets.

Here, the term "substrate" refers to a substrate whose surface is coated with plating, paint, paper, cloth, or a combination thereof. In other words, it corresponds to the plate of the photo frame mentioned above, but it is significantly different in that it uses iron, so it can be magnetized, and it is not the type that holds photos, so it does not require glass, etc. There is. Furthermore, since it is difficult to cause the photo shift, which is the drawback of the conventional method mentioned above, multiple photos can be locked at once, and the background of the board is often exposed, so cloth materials, etc. One of its features is that it has a great aesthetic effect when the surface is beautifully covered.

Further, a plate material may be further provided on the back side of the substrate.

When the covering is made of paper or cloth, it is usually pasted, but it is also possible to just put it on if it can be pressed against the step when fitting it into the frame. In that case, the coating has the effect of making it easier to change the etched background pattern and its color.

The F frame may be structurally similar to a conventional picture frame. Of course, taking advantage of the fact that the board is made of iron, magnetic force may be used to fix the frame and the board.

In addition to hanging the picture frame with the photo attached to the set of the present invention on the wall, it can also be placed on a horizontal surface like a photo frame by providing legs on the back side of the substrate or plate material or on the back side of the frame. good.

A "magnet" is used to attach a photograph to a substrate, mainly made of iron, using its magnetic force. Any type of material may be used, but it is particularly preferable to use a material whose surface is covered with a cloth material or the like like the substrate.

However, in that case, it is preferable that the surface facing the substrate (contact surface) be exposed. Furthermore, it is considered that the aesthetic effect will be greater if the surface coating is made the same as the substrate. Regarding the size, a small size is preferable in the sense that the area of the photograph hidden is minimized, but a certain height is preferable. Among the range of prototypes produced by the present inventor, a cylindrical one with a diameter of about 5lIII1 and a height of about 1cm was easy to handle and aesthetically pleasing.

Naturally, a larger magnetic force is preferable, and an anisotropic magnet is more suitable than an isotropic magnet. In addition, rare earth ferromagnetic materials (
For example, Gatrinium, Terbium, Dysprosium, Holmium, etc.) can be used because they are very strong magnetic substances.

Further, the number of magnets in the cent according to the present invention is not particularly limited, as it varies depending on the size of the substrate and the magnetic force of each magnet.

[Examples] The present invention will be described in more detail below based on examples shown in the drawings.

FIG. 1 shows one embodiment of the photo-locking picture frame set 1 (hereinafter referred to as "invention set 1") according to the present invention, and as is clear from the figure, a picture frame 2, a substrate 3, , a plurality of magnets 4. The picture frame 2 has a normal structure with a step on the back side, and a substrate 3 is fitted into the step 21 and fixed thereto.

The substrate 3 has a thin cloth 6 of a single color with a pattern on the surface of an iron plate 5.

The magnet 4 is an anisotropic one with a strong magnetic force, has a cylindrical shape, and has the same cloth 6 as the substrate stretched on surfaces other than the bottom surface.

Figures 2 and 3 are actual photographs (P
) is locked.

The magnet 4 has a strong magnetic force and will not fall off even if the individual photos (P) are overlapped and locked.
P) Since the overall arrangement can be set quite freely, it is possible to create a unique photo frame.

[Effects of the Invention] As explained in detail above, the photo frame cent according to the present invention includes a substrate whose surface is an iron plate covered with plating, painting, pasting with paper or cloth, or a combination thereof; This invention is characterized by being composed of a frame body that covers the outer edge of the substrate and a plurality of magnets, and is an extremely advanced invention that has various effects as described below.

■ Unlike conventional photo frames, the photo frame is not sandwiched between a transparent body and a plate, so it is easy to lock the frame, which reduces the burden of frequent replacement work. ■ Since multiple photos can be locked at once, the arrangement of the photos itself can be unique and aesthetically pleasing compared to displaying a single photo.

■ The shape of the magnet makes the work inside the frame three-dimensional, creating an aesthetic effect.
