It's about picture frames.

The present invention also relates to an elastic member for a front-opening picture frame that can provide an appropriate elastic force necessary for maintaining the opening and closing state of the front frame to the fixed frame and the fixed pressing of the front frame.

In order to replace the contents of a conventional frame or picture frame, a plurality of screws or fasteners formed on the back of the frame are dismantled, and then the back plate is removed to replace the contents, and the back plate is seated to fix the screws or fasteners again. do. Replacing the contents of such a conventional picture frame is time-consuming and considerably cumbersome, and if the contents are frequently replaced, screws or fasteners and frames of the picture frame may be damaged so that the picture frame cannot be used.

In order to solve the inconvenience of the conventional frame, the frame structure of the frame of the front frame of the frame is used, the coupling method using the projection and groove, such as the opening and closing method using a magnet, one-touch opening and closing method using a compression coil spring. And a method using a leaf spring.

Among the coupling methods using projections and grooves, Korean Utility Model Registration No. 226880 opens and closes by connecting the front frame and the fixed frame using hinges and fixing the contents installed in the front frame, the fixed frame and the frame by the coupling grooves and the engaging projection. It is easy to construct a picture frame. However, because the front frame and the fixed frame are connected only by the hinge, it is not fixed in the open state when the front frame is opened, so there is an unstable operation state, and because the fixing force by the coupling groove and the engaging protrusion is weak, the contents can be stably fixed. There was no problem.

In addition, Korean Utility Model Registration No. 2693945 also installs coupling grooves and engaging projections on each of the front frame and the fixing frame, and forms an uneven portion in contact with the fixing frame on the outside of the front frame so that the front frame rotates in a predetermined angle range. A picture frame is disclosed. However, the weak coupling force between the front frame and the fixed frame has a problem that the contents can not be stably fixed inside the frame.

As a magnet opening and closing method, Korean Utility Model Model No. 204221 installs a rotating protrusion on the front frame and a rotating groove is formed on the fixed frame corresponding thereto, so that the front frame rotates and opens and closes with the rotating protrusion fitted to the rotating groove. This is done, and the front frame is fixed to the fixed frame using a magnet. However, because the operation state of the front frame is poor and the fixing between the frames is made only by magnetic force, the fastening force is weak so that the contents cannot be stably fixed.

In addition, the picture frame disclosed in Korean Utility Model Registration No. 266076 has a rotating protrusion formed on the fixed frame and a rotating groove corresponding to the front frame is formed so that the front frame is opened and closed by rotating the rotating protrusion and the rotating groove.

In order to solve the problem of the lack of fastening force in the above-described prior art, an open-type picture frame using a leaf spring is used. As such a technique, Korean Open Utility Model Publication No. 2000-17374 installs a leaf spring between a support groove formed in the front frame and a support groove formed in the fixed frame, and the front frame is fixed by the action of the leaf spring. A picture frame is disclosed which is operated between a closed position for contacting the frame and fixing the contents and an open position approximately perpendicular to the fixed frame.

However, the elastic force varies depending on the length and thickness of the leaf spring, and the machining condition. Therefore, the bearing capacity is relatively strong and it is inconvenient for the elderly to use, and the front frame is completely open at a right angle to the fixed frame. There was a risk of falling while handling the contents.

In addition, Korean Utility Model Registration No. 259862 and Korean Utility Model Registration No. 302708 disclose a picture frame in which a front frame is elastically supported and opened and closed by a U-shaped leaf spring, but the leaf spring is installed in a space formed on a fixed frame. Since the state is maintained by its elastic force between the rear side of the front frame and the fixed frame space in the state, there was a problem that the installation state of the leaf spring and the operation of the front frame are unstable.
