Abstract:
A frame assembly includes a frame base and a rear panel including a plurality of side walls that are configured to be received within a plurality of side walls of the frame base. Along an external surface of each side wall of the rear panel there is at least one locking tab that is configured for reception within one corresponding locking opening of the frame base when the rear panel is inserted into the frame base so as couple the rear panel to the frame base in a snap-fitting manner and permit a canvas substrate to be captured therebetween for holding the canvas substrate across a front face of the frame base.
Abstract:
The present disclosure is directed to a framed canvas. The framed canvas includes a frame including at least two sides, each of the at least two sides including a front surface and a rear surface, the rear surface of at least one of the at least two sides including a cavity, a canvas sheet contacting each of the at least two sides, and at least one support, the at least one support including a first end and a second end, the first end configured to extend into the cavity, the second end configured to contact a base.
Abstract:
An image display comprising a substantially rigid support structure including a rectangular central sheet, four side strips and four back strips can be provided. An image can be provided on at least the front of the central sheet. The side strips can extend alongside respective edges of the central sheet and be adjoined to form four corners. The back strips can extend along respective side strips and be adjoined at respective corners for forming the assembled support structure. A mechanical securement device can be connected to adjoined back strips at each corner for rigidly securing the adjoined back strips together and for retaining the side and back strips in an assembled position.
Abstract:
The system invention herein disclosed and claimed is an art work frame that can easily be folded into a smaller area such that shipping container and costs are reduced. Upon arrival at its destination, it can easily be unfolded into frame suitable for art work mounting.
Abstract:
An image display including an image substrate and a support structure. The image substrate has an image printed on a first surface. The support structure can include a front sheet and a plurality of side strips extending from the front sheet. The image substrate can be adhered to an external surface of the front sheet so that the front sheet forms a rigid backing for the image substrate. A variety of image substrates are provided.
Abstract:
The artist initiates the creative process: the viewer completes it. My invention facilitates both. Although there are numerous products that assist visual artists in the creative process with an easel that rotates, The RoFrame (TRF) can be used both in the creation of the art and, equally importantly, in the displaying of it on the walls of a gallery, business, or family home.

Abstract:
A stretcher frame apparatus and methods for stretching and mounting a fabric, such as canvas, to a supporting surface, such as a wall. The apparatus has two opposing elongated frame members that are attached to opposite sides of a fabric. When the frame members are first mounted to the wall, the fabric will have slack, but the fabric is made taut when the user inserts removable elongated tension member(s) between the wall and rear side of the fabric. Preferably, two tension members are inserted between the wall and the mounted fabric and then slid in opposite directions toward the mounted frame members. This apparatus and method allows a user to forgo cumbersome four-sided box frames, and instead provides a simple, easy to use apparatus for mounting decorative fabric-based images to a wall.
Abstract:
A master/museum picture frame containing integral lighting and a light director (1) in accordance with Snell's law of Total Internal Reflection and Refraction By a Prism. Said lights, wired in series with a resistance wire parallel to the filament on the lights dumet, in accordance with the Shunt Theory, such that if one light burns out the remainder remain lighted, to present the artwork in the most favorable manner for the longest period of time when viewed in a depreciating environment. The master/museum frame is interchangeable, both forward and backward. with the capability of being used as a lighted frame or an unlighted frame by substituting a spacer in place of the light director and vice versa as shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 4.
