Definitions

  • This invention concerns a hook means adapted to provide a locking connection between a back protection panel for a picture, like for instance a photograph or the like, and a picture frame body.
  • Hook means of the above type are known and in general they comprise a resiliently deformable metal plate provided, in general at the ends thereof, with suitable extensions adapted to become engaged into corresponding seats of said back protection panel and of the picture frame body. They get slightly deformed while being set in place and the hook means resiliency which tends to bring it back to the undeformed condition, is such that it provides forces which, owing to the hook means shape and to the way said hook means is connected to the panel and to the picture frame, cause mutual locking of these two members together.
  • hook means which, although they fulfill at a sufficient extent the function they are designed for, have a remarkable drawback in that their action is limited only to the lockingly connecting function while, as it is well known, the above mentioned lockingly connecting forces alone are not satisfactory for obtaining valuable results in providing stability to the assembly comprising the picture frame and the cont­ents thereof.
  • the hook means subjects to a stress action the assembly comprised of the back panel, the picture and the front transparent panel in order to keep said members in mutual contact and pressed against the picture frame body.
  • a first approach was to provide the hook means with an additional member, as for instance a tab or the like, with the purpose of keeping said members pressed against the picture frame body.
  • this type of hook means have drawbacks mainly in that manufacturing thereof is complicated and further­more said additional member looses its effectiveness in time since its resilient pressure action on the back panel gradually vanishes.
  • a second type of approach was to provide two different kinds of hook means the first of which lockingly connects the back panel to the picture frame body, while the second keeps the panels and the picture mutually contact­ing, and the assembly thereof in contact with the picture frame.
  • the hook means According to one of the basic features of the hook means according to this invention, it is suitable for accompl­ishing both tasks explained above, without being provid­ed with a tab or the like, and without requiring any provision for additional hook means.
  • the hook means of this invention has an essentially U-shaped substantially central portion, shown in general at 10.
  • a substantially triangular cutout 14 providing a means for hanging the picture frame on a wall.
  • One of the two arms of central portion 10, shown at 16, extends into a bent-over portion 18 which provides an extension adapted to be inserted into a suitable seat carved on picture frame back protection panel 20.
  • Said bent over portion 18 extends further into a tab 22 which remains slightly raised above back panel 20 when the hook means has been set into place, and said tab 22 is used to make removal of the hook means easier, concerning in particular portion 18 moving out of its seat in panel 20.
  • Figure 2 the picture, for instance a photograph or the like, is shown at 24, while at 26 there is shown the front transparent pane made for instance of glass.
  • the second arm of central portion 10, shown at 28, extends into a substantially U-shaped end portion, shown in general at 30.
  • main side 32 thereof blends through a curved portion 34 into arm 28 of central portion 10.
  • said curved portion 34 faces back panel 20 with its convex side, and engages therewith.
  • End arm 36 of end portion 30 engages into a recess 38 of a cavity 40 provided internally of picture frame body 42. As it is apparent in particular on Figure 2, end arm 36 of portion 30 engages against a protruding lip 44 of cavity 40. In addition, the side edges of transparent panel 26 engage into a part 46 of picture frame 42 adapted to locate said panel 26, picture 24 and back panel 20 which are pushed against it by the hook means of this invention.
  • FIG. 2 still shows in particular that side 32 of end portion 30 lies at an angle towards back panel 20, whereby it supports and enhances the hook means pressure action against panel 20, as it is pointed out in the following.
  • the hook means performs a double action relative to the picture frame and to the members held therein. In fact, it allows both back panel 20 to be lockingly connected to the picture frame, and above all the two panels 20, 26 and picture 24 to be retained under pressure against the picture frame.
