The central portion of the substrate, which is recessed below the outer frame, is a portion for storing photographs, paintings, and the like. An inner frame having a hollow portion is provided inside the outer frame. Since the inner frame is fitted into the outer frame so as to be in close contact with the inner frame, the center portion is reduced by the thickness of the inner frame.

[0007] A smaller inner frame is provided inside the inner frame, and is fitted into the inner frame in close contact with the outer frame. In this manner, a plurality of inner frames having different sizes are sequentially fitted inside the outer frame. According to the present invention configured as described above, the inner frame can be fitted according to the size of the stored photograph or painting. That is, the number of inner frames can be reduced if the photograph or the painting is large, and the number of the inner frames can be increased if the photograph or the painting is small.

Accordingly, the size of the central portion can be adjusted by the number of inner frames, and the central portion can be adjusted to a size corresponding to the size of a photograph, a picture, or the like. Therefore, it is not necessary to prepare a plurality of types of picture frames according to the size of a photograph, a painting, or the like. According to a second aspect of the present invention, in addition to the configuration of the first aspect, the frame is made of a foamed resin such as styrene foam.

According to the present invention having such a configuration, the weight of the picture frame becomes very light. For this reason, the picture frame hung on the wall falls down in the event of an earthquake, cleaning, or the like, and is very safe with little injury or damage even when it hits a human body or equipment. Further, since the material cost is low and the manufacturing process is simple, the manufacturing cost can be significantly reduced.

[0010] The invention of claim 3 is claim 1 or claim 2.
In addition to the above configuration, a lid for covering the central portion is provided inside the inner frame provided at the center. In the present invention configured as described above, by fitting the lid inside the inner frame provided at the center, it is possible to cover a photograph, a painting, and the like stored in the center with the lid. For this reason, if you do not want to show photos and paintings, you can immediately cover them with a lid and also prevent the photos and paintings from being damaged or dusty. Is also useful.

[0011] The invention of claim 4 is the invention of claim 1 or claim 2.
In addition to the above configuration, the hollow portion of the inner frame provided at the center is formed in the shape of a figure. In the present invention configured as described above, the hollow portion is formed in a shape such as a heart shape or a circular shape instead of a rectangular shape, and the face or scenery of a person photographed in the photograph can be put in the hollow portion. Has the effect.

The invention according to claim 5 is the invention according to claims 1 to 4.
In addition to the above configuration, the present invention is characterized in that photographs, paintings, and the like stored in the inner frame are pressed. In the present invention configured as described above,
Since the stored pictures, paintings, etc. are pressed by the inner frame, the pictures, paintings, etc. can be stored without shifting within the frame.

[0013]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. 1 to 3 show an embodiment of a picture frame according to the present invention. FIG. 1 is a front view showing an entire structure of the picture frame, FIG. 2 is a sectional view taken along line AA in FIG. 1, and FIG.
It is a front view of two inner frames.

As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG.
A flat substrate 2, an outer frame 3 projecting upward from the substrate 2, an inner frame 5 provided inside the outer frame 3, and an inner frame 6 further provided inside the inner frame 5. It is configured. The substrate 2 and the outer frame 3 are integrated into a bonded state. Therefore, a central portion 10 that is recessed below the outer frame 3 is provided on the substrate 2, and a photograph or a picture P is stored in the central portion 10.

On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 3, an inner frame 5 having a hollow portion 20 is tightly fitted inside the outer frame 3. The inner frame 5 only comes into close contact with the substrate 2 and the outer frame 3 and can be separated from the substrate 2 and the outer frame 3. The fitting method is to push the inside of the outer frame 3 into close contact so that it is not easily separated, but in some cases, a double-sided adhesive tape or the like that can be peeled off is attached to the outside of the inner frame 5. It may be fitted and fitted inside the outer frame 3.
