Wall mounted jigsaw puzzle work surface and storage system

A wall mounted jigsaw puzzle work surface and storage system, said system comprising

• a frame, a working surface, and a securing member,
• wherein the frame is comprised of a lower frame, an upper frame, and an attachment member, the upper frame is configured to be secured to a wall by the attachment member, the lower frame is pivotally attached to the upper frame by a pivotal attachment mechanism, the lower frame is configured to support the working surface, and the frame has a storage mode and a working mode, whereby when the frame is in storage mode the lower frame is oriented substantially vertically, and when the frame is in working mode the lower frame is oriented substantially horizontally;
• the working surface is a substantially rigid, substantially planar member configured to be placed onto the lower frame and is further configured to support one or more jigsaw puzzle pieces, said jigsaw puzzle pieces forming either an incomplete jigsaw puzzle or a completed jigsaw puzzle;
• and
• the securing member is configured to be placed onto the working surface to secure the one or more jigsaw puzzle pieces to the working surface when the frame is in storage mode and when the frame is in transition between storage mode and working mode, and the securing member is further configured to be removable from the working surface when the frame is in working mode, with the securing member being a substantially rigid member attached to the lower frame by a securing hinge mechanism that is located proximate to an end of the lower frame that is proximate to the pivotal attachment mechanism of the lower frame to the upper frame;
• wherein the securing member further comprises a pair of pivoting flanges, with each said pivoting flange located on an upper surface of the securing member distal from the location of the securing hinge mechanism and on opposite sides of the securing member from each other, and with each pivoting flange configured to extend into a corresponding groove formed into the perimeter of the lower frame when the securing member is placed onto working surface within the lower frame, such that each of the said plurality of pivoting flanges presses the securing member firmly against the working surface and any jigsaw puzzle pieces located thereon, and
• with each pivoting flange further configured to be pivoted away from the perimeter of the lower frame permitting the securing member to be removed from the working surface and any jigsaw puzzle pieces located thereon.

• wherein the lower frame further comprises a plurality of pivoting flanges, with each said pivoting flange located on a top edge of the perimeter of the lower frame and configured to extend into the interior portion of the lower frame and over the securing member when the securing member is placed onto working surface within the lower frame, such that each of the said plurality of pivoting flanges presses the securing member firmly against the working surface and any jigsaw puzzle pieces located thereon, and
• with each pivoting flange further configured to be pivoted away from the securing member thereby permitting the securing member to be removed from the working surface and any jigsaw puzzle pieces located thereon.
