DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a picture frame, and more particularly, to a picture frame which can be easily mounted, has a simple structure, and can be manufactured at low cost.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Decorating a room with a poster or a photograph of a landscape, a person or the like, a completed large jigsaw puzzle, or the like, adds color to life (hereinafter, such a work is referred to as a "work"). Decorating them in a work place, meeting room, or other place is also preferable in that the atmosphere of the place is softened. Conventionally, these works have been sold in department stores and the like, but in the form of sales, they are simply put in plastic bags or the like, or simply rolled up. Because of this,
In the case of decorating or posting, the edge was stopped with a thumbtack or tape, or otherwise put in a frame.

[0003]

However, it is not interesting to stop with a thumbtack or tape because the surroundings are killed. That being said, if you put it in a picture frame, these are generally large,
The price increases and the contents and the side (the work and the frame) become unbalanced. Whether you do it yourself or ask an expert, if you want to frame it, stop the back plate with fasteners, adhesive tape, nails, etc. In addition, you need a reasonable work time, labor, etc., and you need tools In some cases. For this reason, it was not easy to frame it.

By the way, in PATOLIS, "(IC = (A47G1 / 06 $ @ F + A4
7G1 / 08) + FT = (3B111BE03 + 3B111BE02)) * FK = (groove + tenon + slit + concave + concave + gap + fitting + fitting groove + fitting) I tried. With this, 50 patents,
89 practical answers were obtained, of which only the ones described in the following gazettes were relatively simple. Note: 50-29675, 55-118669, 58-1444

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The present invention will be described below in detail based on illustrated embodiments. FIG. 1 shows a cut end face of the frame 100 of the embodiment and a work flow. In the same figure, (A) to (C) show the flow of the frame, and (D) shows the state of removing the work. Actually, the picture frame is mounted with the picture frame face down on a table. Therefore, FIG. 1 shows the picture frame 100 of the embodiment with the picture frame front face down. The same applies to other figures.

In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 denotes a frame. The overall shape is the same as that of a conventional frame, and a frame having the same shape as the rod 11d shown in FIG. If resin molding is performed using a mold, it can be manufactured at lower cost. For convenience of explanation, it is assumed that the right side rod 11u in FIG. 1 is the upper side when the frame is set up. Similarly, it is assumed that the left side rod 11d is the lower side of the frame. The rod 11 of FIG.
"d" represents the lower rod 11d of FIG.

The positional relationship such as up / down, front / rear, left / right, etc. will be described in the above state, that is, in a state where the frame 100 is set up and the frame 100 is viewed from the table. Therefore, each drawing in FIG. 1 is viewed from the left side of the picture frame 100 of the embodiment. Further, the suffix “u, d” of the reference numeral 11 is “upper rod 11, lower rod 1”.
In the same manner, "l, r" is attached to each code for "left side, right side". When the plural components including the rod 11 are collectively referred to, these suffixes u, d, l, and r are omitted.

In FIG. 1, reference numeral 2 denotes a housing, which is sized to fit in the internal space 19 of the frame 1 and is composed of a work holder 3 and a front protection plate 4. The details are shown in FIGS. In FIG. 3, the left side of the paper is the lower side when the frame is erected, and the right side of the paper is the upper side. In FIG. 4, the front side of the paper is the lower side when the frame is erected, and the rear side of the paper is the upper side. FIGS. 1 (A) to 1 (D) correspond to AA in FIG.
FIG. 5 shows an end face when cut along a line, and FIG. 5 shows a cross section cut along a line EE of FIG. 4.

[0011] The work holder 3 is a thin synthetic resin plate,
A shallow box-shaped recess 9 is formed by blow molding or the like.
Here, the work 12 and the like are stored (FIG. 6, a storing procedure will be described later). However, there are no left and right (front and back sides in FIG. 3) side walls, and these are the entrances 131 and 13r for the work 12 and the like. As the material of the work holder 3, for example, polypropylene, hard or soft vinyl chloride, polycarbonate (P, C), polyethylene, or the like is used. The thickness is about 0.1 mm to 2 mm. It may be transparent, translucent, or opaque, and may have any color.

Tongue pieces 6u and 6d extend from the upper and lower edges of the concave portion 9 of the work holder 3 (toward the frame 1). The opening (front side) of the recess 9 is closed by the front protection plate 4 described above. In addition, above and below the front protection plate 4,
The tongue pieces 14u, 1 are overlapped with the tongue pieces 6u, 6d.
4d is extended, and both are fixed by heat sealing, an adhesive or the like. Tongue pieces 14l, 14r are also provided on the left and right sides. The left and right tongue pieces 14l, 14r protrude to the left and right of the recess 9 by substantially the same distance as the tongue pieces 14u, 14d.

The front protection plate 4 can be formed, for example, by cutting four corners of a square plate into a square. The four peripheral edges of the plate after the four corner resections correspond to the tongue pieces 14u, 14d, 14
1, 14r. The cost can be further reduced by resin molding using a mold. The material of the front protection plate 4 includes
For example, similarly to the work holder 3, polypropylene, hard vinyl chloride, polycarbonate (P, C), polyethylene, or the like is used. The thickness is also about 0.1 mm to 2 mm.

The inner surface of the frame 1 has a tapered surface 8 (FIGS. 1 and 2). The frame 1 has four rods 11u, 11d, 1
Since the frame 1 is composed of 11l and 11r, the entire inner surface of the frame 1 formed by the inner surfaces of these four rods has a truncated quadrangular pyramid shape (11r and 11l are left and right rods, but not shown). ). In this pyramid, the front side of the frame 100 is widened, and the skirt portion is connected to each of the grooves 7u, 7d, 71, and 7r (FIGS. 1 and 2; however, 7l and 7r are not shown).

The work is stored in the order shown in FIGS. 1A to 1C, and the work is removed as shown in FIG. First, when storing, the mat 16, the work 12, and the back plate 17 are overlapped, and these are inserted into the access opening 13 of the storage body 2 composed of the work holder 3 and the front protection plate 4, and stored in the recess 9. (FIG. 6). Next, one of the tongue pieces, for example, 6d and 14d, of the housing 2 is inserted into the groove 7d as shown by the arrow X in FIG. Then, the opposite side of the storage body 2 is pushed in the direction of arrow Y in FIG.

The tongue pieces 6u and 14u are made of a flexible material. Therefore, when pressed in this way, the tongue pieces 6u,
14u bends as shown in FIG. Then, when these ends get over the corner 18 of the rod 11u, they are fitted into the groove 7u. The left and right tongue pieces 14l, 14r also have grooves 7l, 7r.
Stuffed into. The work 12 is now in the internal space 19 of the frame 1
(C) is completely housed inside. Thus, the left and right entrances 131 and 13r are also closed by the rods 111 and 11r. Therefore, the work will not fall off. Note that the tongue pieces 6u and 14u extend slightly longer than the depth of the groove 7.
In this case, the outer peripheries of the tongue pieces 6u and 14u come into strong contact with the bottom (ceiling) of the groove 7u, and the looseness of the storage body 2 in the frame 1 is prevented.

When the work is taken out, the container 2 is placed in the position shown in FIG.
(D) Extrude in the direction of arrow Z. With this, the tongue piece 6u,
As shown in FIG. 1 (D), the end of the tongue 6u, 14u is bent at the corner 18 of the rod 11u.
When the vehicle gets over, the storage body 2 comes off the frame 1.

A modified example will be described. Embodiment 10
0, the groove 7 is directed toward the frame 1 and the tongue pieces 6 are directed toward the housing 2.
14 was formed. Conversely, tongue pieces 6, 14
The groove 7 may be formed in the storage body 2. In the embodiment 100, the upper and lower tongue pieces 14u,
14d and the upper and lower tongue pieces 6u and 6d of the work holder 3 were fixed. Do not fix both, just make the relationship between the body and the lid,
The front surface of the work holder 3 may be simply closed with the front protection plate 4.

Each of these overlapping tongue pieces 14u and 6u
u, or one of the combinations of 14d and 6d, the edges of which are made thin and continuous to form a hinge, and the front protection plate 4
As a lid for the work holder 3, the front protection plate 4 may be opened and closed around this hinge. When deformed into such a form, the front side of the concave portion 9 serves as a doorway for the work.
The opening 13 is closed and may be used as a side wall in a normal box.

The tongue pieces 6, 14 may be made of a material other than synthetic resin as long as it is flexible. For example, a very thin steel plate (spring plate) may be used. Only the tongue pieces 6 and 14 require flexibility, and the work holder 3
Other portions of the front protection plate 4 may be inflexible. For example, the front protective plate 4 may have the same size as the opening of the concave portion 9 and may be an acrylic plate as in the related art. The tongue pieces 6 and 14 do not need to be present over the entire circumference of the housing 2. For example, the left and right tongue pieces 14l and 14r may not be provided, and the upper and lower tongue pieces may be partially located at the left and right ends of the upper and lower sides when viewed from the front of the frame 100. Is also good.

When the tongues are formed only on the upper and lower sides as described above, only one of the tongues needs to be flexible, and the other need not have flexibility. When applied to the embodiment 100, the left and right tongue pieces 1 of the front protection plate 4
Even if the lower tongue piece 14d and the lower tongue piece 6d of the work holder are not flexible,
If the upper tongues 14d and 6d are flexible, FIG.
As shown in (A), it can be attached to and detached from the groove 7u.

In the embodiment 100, the entrance 13
Was formed on the left and right (131, 13u). This may be on one side only. Further, one or both of the upper and lower side walls of the shallow box-shaped concave portion 9 of the work holder 3 may be eliminated, and this may be used as a new entrance and exit instead of the reference numerals 131 and 13r.
When the work holder 3 is stored in the internal space 19 of the frame 1, the new access port is also used for the upper and lower rods 11u or 11u.
d, the work 1
2nd magnitude does not fall down or protrude from above. In the case of such deformation, the original entrances 131 and 13r are used as new side walls of the shallow box-shaped recess 9.

[0023]

As described above, according to the present invention, the housing has the front protection plate and the work holder, and the work holder has a recess for housing the work, and the front has a front protection plate. To form a fitting groove in one of the frame and the housing, and a flexible tongue in the other. Therefore, just store the work in the recess of the work holder and press it into the frame,
Framed easily. The work can be easily taken out just by pushing it out. Therefore, the work of fixing the back plate with a fastener, an adhesive tape, a nail, or the like is unnecessary, and no tools are required. In the case of factory production, only two processes,
That is, framed work can be carried out only by a process of storing a work in the storage body 2 and a process of fitting the work into the frame, thereby increasing productivity.
Also, because the structure has been simplified, it can be made cheaply,
In particular, it is possible to realize a frame that is optimal for framed inexpensive works such as posters and jigsaw puzzles. In addition, when the entire housing is formed of a synthetic resin film, the weight is reduced, and transport and handling are facilitated. The danger of falling from a wall or the like by weight is reduced. Even if it falls, no major damage such as splashing of glass will occur.
