Definitions

• the invention relates to a picture frame comprising a frame profile.
• the previous picture frames have been manufactured by means of profiles forming the front and the back, respec ⁇ tively, of the frame in such a manner that the picture could only turn to one side-
• the back of the frame was used for mounting of corner joints, suspension fittings, and upright fittings.
• the corner joints were usually mitred. However, the mitering required two cuttings per frame side and implied a waste of material due to the cuttings perpendicular to each other.
• the picture frame according to th-e invention is charac ⁇ terised by the frame profile optionally being substan ⁇ tially symmetrical about a longitudinal axis and compris ⁇ ing two longitudinal recesses for insertion of a picture and mounting of a corner joint, suspension fittings or upright fittings.
• the shaping of the picture frame renders it possible to choose the side to which the picture should turn in the frame. Furthermore, the shaping of the frame only requires one cutting per frame. In this manner a framing of a pic- ture is obtained whereby two different visual angles of the frame may be chosen or the frame may be used as a turnable frame with a picture on both sides. Such a frame is moreover easy to manufacture as only one cutting per frame side is required at the same time as waste of mate- rial is avoided.
• the suspension fittings are formed by a ball, whereby a sus ⁇ pension cord is secured to said ball.
• the ball is fixed by a load of the cord from the suspension point. Moreover it is possible to adjust the picture frame in height by carrying the balls either up ⁇ wards or downwards into the recesses at the same time as the picture frame is raised.
• Fig. 1 illustrates a picture frame according to the in ⁇ vention
• Fig. 2 illustrates a suspension of the frame
• Fig. 3 illustrates a stand for the frame.
• the picture frame according to the invention comprises a profile 1 symmetrical about an axis and being provided with two recesses 2, 3.
• the recesses are used for insert- ing a picture, a corner joint, suspension fittings or a stand.
• the profile 1 is cut out in frame parts 4, 5, and ⁇ assembled in corners by means of corner joints 7.
• the picture frame is suspended by means of a ball 8, which is introduced into one of the recesses 2 or 3.
• the ball may be moved in the longitudinal direction of the recess, but is locked perpendicular thereto.
• a suspension cord extends about the ball.
• the ball is clamped by a
• Upright fittings for the picture frame are formed by a stand 10 comprising a resilient joint 11, which is pressed upwards into the recesses 2 or 3, whereby the stand is fixed in the frame.
• the frame profile is preferably substantially S-shaped.
• the corner joints may for instance be formed by L-pieces, the legs of which are inserted into the recesses, cf. Fig; - 1.
• Both the frame profile and the L-pieces may be made of metal or plastics.
• a picture frame is thus pro ⁇ vided which is easier to assemble and more flexible than the previous frames.
• the picture frame according to the invention may be varied in many ways without deviating from the scope of the in ⁇ vention.
