Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Industrial application field] This invention relates to a frame for displaying works such as calligraphy, paintings, photographs, etc. It should be noted that the concept of a picture frame here includes a "picture frame", and for convenience, the term "picture frame" will be used in the following explanations.

[Conventional technology]

Traditional picture frames are made by assembling vertical and horizontal frames into a rectangular shape, with a backing, mat, and glass plate placed inside, and the work is sandwiched between the mat and the glass plate.

When assembling the frame, if it is made of light metal, a dovetail groove is provided on the back side of the frame, and an L
By inserting the letter-shaped connecting fittings and screwing them together, the vertical and horizontal frames are connected and can be disassembled. Furthermore, if the parts are made of wood, they are assembled and glued together by tenoning, making it impossible to remove them.

In either case, a hanging piece is provided on the front side of the frame to hold the plate glass, and the back plate is pressed in that direction to stop the glass plate.

To fasten the back plate, a blade called a dragonfly is rotatably attached to the back of the frame using screws or rivets, and the back plate is latched by rotating the blade inward. However, if the blades become loose, they may come off the back plate, so if the frame is made of light metal, it is best to provide an inward projecting piece on the back side of the frame and interpose a spring between the back plate and the projecting piece. The back plate can be stopped.

Further, although conventional picture frames are generally hung on walls, support members are sometimes attached to the back plate so that they can be placed upright on desks, alcoves, etc.

[The problem that the idea aims to solve]

Traditional picture frames are framed by four frames as described above, so they feel stiff and lack smartness, and do not match modern sensibilities.
Another problem was that the frame inevitably led to high costs.

In addition, when putting in and taking out a work, it is troublesome to operate the blade that stops the back plate in order to remove it.
Since the back side of the frame has an inward projecting piece supported by the back plate, when the back plate is removed, it is necessary to assemble and disassemble the frame, which is more troublesome.

In addition, in the case of a picture frame or photo frame that has a supporting member attached to it to be placed on a desk, etc., not only is the cost high because of the supporting member, but also stability cannot be obtained unless the supporting member is tilted. There was a problem in that a considerable amount of space was taken up for the support member at the rear.

Considering the above-mentioned circumstances, this idea is smart and innovative because it can be assembled with a single frame, and it is easy to put in and take out the work.
Another object of the present invention is to provide an inexpensive picture frame that does not take up much space behind even though it can be placed upright on a flat surface such as a desk.

[Means to solve the problem]

In order to achieve the above purpose, this invention eliminates the frame at the top and both sides of the laminated display board that sandwiches the elastic mat and artwork between the plate glass and the back plate, and consists only of the support frame at the bottom. A support piece is provided on the rear surface of the support frame to prevent it from falling backwards, and a groove is provided on the top surface to hold the laminated display board between the edges against the elasticity of the pine. It was formed to be diagonally open so as to be inserted into the slope, and a ridge was provided on the bottom of the groove to be sandwiched between the plate glass and the back plate to form a picture frame.

[Effect]

With the frame configured as described above, to assemble the work so that it can be displayed, sandwich the elastic mat and the work between the glass plate and the back plate, and insert the laminated display board into the groove in the support frame. In this case, insertion is possible by reducing the thickness of the laminated display board against the elasticity of the elastic mat.

When the laminated display board is inserted into the groove, the protrusion at the bottom of the groove is sandwiched between the lower ends of the glass plate and the back plate, and the laminated display plate is sandwiched by the edge of the groove, so that the glass plate and the back plate hang on the protrusion. The lower ends of the panels are used as fulcrums to push them toward each other by the groove mouth edges, and the elastic mats are pinched over the entire area, so the laminated display board is held at a constant thickness from the bottom to the top, and the pinching force The work is stably fixed so that it does not fall off.

Since the stacked display board maintains a stable stacked state in this way and its lower end hangs on the protrusion, it can be stably maintained even when it is tilted backwards.

〔Example〕

Next, an embodiment of this invention will be described based on the drawings.

Figures 1 and 2 show one embodiment, and the picture frame consists of a laminated display board 1 and a support frame 2 at its lower end, and the frame is missing at the upper end and both left and right sides of the laminated display board 1. are doing.

The laminated display board 1 has an elastic mat 5 and an artwork 6 sandwiched between a glass plate 3 and a back plate 4, of which a plate glass of the same size as the glass plate 3 is used for the back plate 4.

In addition, the elastic mat 5 is made of a plastic material that is formed into a net shape in which fibers are entwined in various ways, and has a large internal space and is prone to denting. Piece 6 falls into the elastic mat 5, so that
At the peripheral portion away from the work 6, the plate glass 3 is bonded to the elastic mat despite the thickness of the work 6.

In addition, since the elastic mat 5 is made of a material that easily dents, even thicker objects such as the key 7 and the clock hands 8 can be placed between the plate glass 3 and the elastic mat 5, and the key 7 and the clock hands 8 can be inserted between the plate glass 3 and the elastic mat 5. Since the key 88 is buried in the elastic mat 5, the plate glass 3 will not rattle due to the key 7, etc.

The support frame 2 is made by cutting an extruded aluminum profile, and is formed into a channel shape having a groove 9, and has a support piece 10 protruding from the upper end of the rear side at right angles to the opening direction of the groove 9. There is. Therefore, when it is placed on the plane F, the support piece 10 is inclined, and the groove 9 is in the opening direction of the backward inclination.

The groove 9 is dovetail-shaped and has edges 11, 11 bent inwardly on both sides of the opening, and a protrusion 13 is provided at the center of the width of the bottom surface, so that the opening width of the groove 9 is laminated. The width is slightly narrower than the thickness of the display board 1,
The width of the protrusion 13 is made slightly narrower than the thickness of the elastic mat 5.

Since the concave groove 9 is formed in this manner due to dimensions, the edges 11, 11 sandwich the laminated display board 1 against the elasticity of the elastic mat 5.

When assembling the picture frame, the back plate 4, elastic mat 5, artwork 6, and plate glass 3 are stacked in this order, and the lower end of the stacked display board 1 is inserted into the groove 9 of the support frame 2. Then, when it is placed on a flat surface F on a desk or the like and tilted backward, the support piece 10 is received by the flat surface, so that the state of standing on a backward slope is maintained.

The plate glass 3 and the back plate 4 have protrusions 13 in the grooves 9.
The lower end of the protrusion 13 hangs on the rim and is pushed toward the side where it hangs, that is, inward by the mouth edges 11, 11.
Forces P and P act on the plate glass 3 and the back plate 4 in the directions approaching each other, using the point where they hang as a fulcrum, and in order to sandwich the elastic mat 5 between them, the laminated display plate 1 is moved from the lower end to the upper to maintain a uniform thickness.

In Fig. 2, the two-dot chain line indicates the position of a supporting member if it were attached to the back plate 4, and as can be seen from this, if such a supporting member is used, However, since the supporting piece 10 of this invention is provided at the lower end, a large space S remains on the back side of the frame.

[Other Examples]

FIG. 3 shows another embodiment, in which the support frame 2 is formed into a channel shape with a circular cross section, and the support pieces 10 are formed into steps bent in a zigzag manner.

Further, a bottom wall 15 of the groove 9 is provided inside, and a protrusion 13 is formed on the bottom wall 15, and the protrusion 13 is sandwiched between the plate glass 3 and the back plate 4 at the lower end, and the upper part thereof is recessed. The edges 11, 11 of the groove 9 are pressed against the elastic mat 5.

[Effects of the invention] As explained above, according to the picture frame of this invention, the upper end and the frames on both the left and right sides are missing, and only the support frame at the lower end is provided, so it is smart and novel, and also makes it easier to display works. When loading and unloading, there is no need to operate the wings known as dragonflies or to assemble and remove the frame, which is a hassle; just stack the plate glass, back plate, elastic mat, and artwork into the grooves of the support frame and insert them. It can be assembled easily, and the stacking is stable with only one support frame, and even though it is placed on a flat surface such as a desk, the support piece is located at the bottom edge. , it does not take up much space at the back, is convenient for placement, and has excellent effects such as being able to be provided at low cost because of the small number of parts.
