Abstract
Various aspects of this disclosure relate to a frame configured to display a two-dimensional image, such as a photograph, that is framed by three-dimensional subject matter, such as rose flowers. The frame generally protects delicate three-dimensional subject matter during storage, shipping, and use. When the three-dimensional subject matter consists of flowers, then the frame can retain aromatic molecules, for example, to preserve the scent of the flowers.
Claims17
A frame, comprising a front plate, an inner wall, an outer wall, a back plate, a lid cover, a removable back insert, and flowers, wherein:
- the front plate is transparent and mounted to the inner wall;
- the removable back insert slidably engages the inner wall in a first direction, wherein, when the removable back insert fully engages the inner wall, then the removable back insert, the inner wall, and the front plate define a two-dimensional space in the frame between the removable back insert and the front plate and between sides of the inner wall;
- the inner wall, the outer wall, and the flowers are mounted to the back plate;
- the lid cover slidably engages the outer wall in a second direction, wherein, when the lid cover fully engages the outer wall, then (a) the lid cover, the outer wall, the inner wall, the front plate, and the back plate define a three-dimensional space in the frame between the lid cover and the back plate, between the outer wall and the inner wall, and between the lid cover and the front plate, (b) the flowers extend from the outer wall into the three-dimensional space, and (c) the lid cover protects the flowers;
- the lid cover and the outer wall are transparent such that the flowers are visible through the lid cover and the outer wall;
- the first direction is perpendicular to the front plate and the second direction;
- the second direction is parallel to the front plate;
- one or both of the removable back insert and the inner wall comprise magnetic fasteners, wherein the magnetic fasteners removably couple the removable back insert to the inner wall when the removable back insert fully engages the inner wall;
- the removable back insert comprises a handle configured to remove the removable back insert from the inner wall and thereby decouple the magnetic fasteners;
- and
- the back plate comprises an opening that is sized to allow removal of the removable back insert from the inner wall through the opening.

- the front plate is transparent and mounted to the inner wall;
- the inner wall and the outer wall are mounted to the back plate;
- the lid cover is transparent and slidably engages the outer wall in a first direction, wherein, when the lid cover fully engages the outer wall, then (a) the lid cover, the outer wall, the inner wall, and the back plate define a three-dimensional space in the frame between the lid cover and the back plate and between the outer wall and the inner wall and (b) the lid cover inhibits fluid communication between the three-dimensional space and air that surrounds the frame;
- the removable back insert slidably engages the inner wall in a second direction, wherein, when the removable back insert fully engages the inner wall, then the removable back insert, the inner wall, and the front plate define a two-dimensional space in the frame between the removable back insert and the front plate and between sides of the inner wall;
- the first direction is parallel to the front plate and perpendicular to the second direction;
- the second direction is perpendicular to the front plate and through the inner wall;
- one or both of the removable back insert and the inner wall comprise fasteners, wherein the fasteners removably couple the removable back insert to the inner wall when the removable back insert fully engages the inner wall;
- the removable back insert comprises a handle configured to remove the removable back insert from the inner wall and thereby decouple the fasteners;
- and
- the back plate comprises an opening that is sized to allow removal of the removable back insert from the inner wall through the opening.
