Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To eliminate a clip and a frame, etc., offensive to the eye for fixing a transparent plate on a front side and a base plate at the back. SOLUTION: By sticking an iron plate 2 to the transparent plate 1 and providing a magnetic force part 3 on the base plate 4, both are closely adhered by magnetic force and a photograph is held between them.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a photo frame for decorating a photograph or a painting.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, when a photograph or the like is sandwiched in a photo frame, a spring or a clip has been used as a method for bringing a transparent plate on the front surface and a substrate on the back surface into close contact with each other, or a concave portion is provided on the edge of the substrate, I used to insert a transparent plate.

[0003]

However, with this method, an obtrusive spring or edging is always visible at the edge of the photo frame, and the aesthetic appearance is significantly impaired. In addition, it is difficult to fix the photo and it cannot be done in one operation.

[0004]

The present invention has solved the above problems by bringing a transparent plate on the front surface and a substrate on the back surface into close contact with each other by using a magnet.

[0005]

1 is a perspective view showing the structure of the present invention. A thin iron plate (2) is attached to the back surface of the transparent plate (1). Appropriate means such as adhesion, adhesion, and welding may be used for pasting. This allows the transparent plate (1) to be attracted to the magnet. On the other hand, the magnetic force part (3) is attached to the substrate (4). As a result, the transparent plate (1) can be brought into close contact with the substrate (4) by magnetic force, and the picture, the photograph (6), etc. sandwiched between them can be firmly fixed. A perspective view of the in-use embodiment is shown in FIG.

[0006]

EXAMPLE In the present invention, a magnet sheet may be used as the magnetic force part (3a) as shown in FIG. In this case, it is advisable to stick the entire surface of the substrate (4). In addition, if it is colored white, it will be excellent in design. The present invention is also shown in FIG.
As shown in (3), the transparent plate (1a) may be partially provided with the colored portion (5). This makes it possible to hide the iron plate (2). The colored portion may be provided inside the transparent plate and between the iron plate and the transparent plate. This allows the colored part to blend into the background naturally. Further, the colors of the colored portions may be mixed with each other by making the color of the colored portion the same as that of the magnet sheet, such as white.
Further, in the present invention, as shown in FIG. 4, the shapes of the iron plate (2a) and the colored portion (5a) can be arbitrarily selected. In the embodiment of FIG. 4, the iron plate (2a) and the colored portion (5a) are arranged at the four corners.
Along with this, magnetic force portions (3b) are provided at four corners on the back side of the substrate (4). At this time, a slight dent may be formed on the surface of the substrate according to the shape of the iron plate, and the iron plate may be fitted therein.

[0007]

As described above, according to the present invention, the transparent plate of the photo frame and the substrate are brought into close contact with each other by the magnetic force to fix the photograph, thereby eliminating annoying clips and edging around the frame and enhancing the design effect of the photo frame.
