Abstract
A frame assembly may include a frame and one or more integrated light fixtures. A light fixture can include a support that is integrated into or otherwise secured to a portion of a frame. The support can extend outwardly away from the housing to position one or more light housings in a desired location relative to the frame. The frame can be configured to supply power to the light fixture(s). A mounting assembly may be provided to facilitate mounting frame assemblies to a wall. The mounting assembly could function as a power source for the frame assemblies.

A frame assembly comprising:
- a frame having molding that forms an outer border of the frame;
- and
- a light fixture that is integrated with the frame, the light fixture comprising a support and a light housing, wherein a first end of the support extends through an external surface of a first portion of the molding of the frame to an internal wiring channel that extends within the first portion of the molding of the frame to thereby cause the first end of the support to be embedded within the first portion of the molding of the frame, wherein the light housing is coupled to a second end of the support.
A frame assembly comprising:
- a frame;
- and
- a light fixture that is integrated with the frame, the light fixture comprising a support and a light housing, wherein a first end of the support extends through an external surface of a first portion of the frame to an internal wiring channel that extends within the first portion of the frame to thereby cause the first end of the support to be embedded within the first portion of the frame, wherein the light housing is coupled to a second end of the support;
- wherein the frame is rectangular and the first portion of the frame is a top portion of the frame, and wherein the internal wiring channel extends across the top portion of the frame to a recess formed in the top portion of the frame, the recess being configured to receive batteries, the frame assembly further comprising wiring that extends from the recess, through the internal wiring channel and the support and to the light housing to thereby connect one or more light sources in the light housing to the batteries.

A frame mounting system comprising:
- a mounting assembly that is configured to be mounted to a wall, the mounting assembly forming a series of first interlocking members and being configured to function as a power source, each of the first interlocking members including first electrical contacts that are electrically connected to the power source;
- a plurality of frame assemblies, each frame assembly comprising:
- a frame;
- a light fixture that is integrated with the frame;
- second interlocking members that are configured to interlock with a particular one of the series of first interlocking members of the mounting assembly to thereby secure the frame assembly to the mounting assembly;
- and
- second electrical contacts formed on the second interlocking members, the second electrical contacts being configured to contact the first electrical contacts when the second interlocking members of the frame are interlocked with the particular one of the second interlocking members of the mounting assembly to thereby cause the light fixture to be powered by the power source;
- wherein the series of first interlocking members span a distance that is configured to permit the plurality of frame assemblies to be mounted to the mounting assembly at the same time.

An assembly for hanging and lighting one or more frames, the assembly comprising:
- one or more frame assemblies that each include a frame and one or more light fixtures that are integrated with the frame, each frame including one or more interlocking members;
- and
- a mounting assembly having sets of one or more interlocking members, each set of one or more interlocking members being configured to interlock with the one or more interlocking members of each frame such that each of the one or more frame assemblies may be secured to the mounting assembly via any of the sets of one or more interlocking members;
- wherein the mounting assembly provides power to the one or more frame assemblies.
1 more element
A frame assembly comprising:
- a frame having molding that forms an outer border of the frame;
- and
- a light fixture that is integrated with the frame, the light fixture including a support and one or more light housings, the support extending frontwardly from the molding to position the one or more light housings frontwardly of the frame;
- wherein a first end of the support extends through the molding to an internal wiring channel that extends within the frame to thereby cause the first end of the support to be embedded within the frame, wherein the one or more light housings are coupled to a second end of the support.
