Abstract
An elongated abuttable snap frame arrangement for biasably, removably, capturing a display graphic support and for display thereof, the arrangement comprising: an elongated base panel, an elongated cover that is flexibly attached to the base panel at its upper edge, and an elongated hinge member flexibly attached to the elongated base panel and the elongated cover, the cover able to rotate from a parallel closed position to a generally perpendicular open position without interfering with adjacent objects or other abutting snap frame arrangements.
Claims19
An elongated extruded abuttable snap frame arrangement for biasably removably capturing a display graphic for support and display thereof comprising:
- an elongated extruded base panel;
- an elongated first wall arranged perpendicular to the base panel;
- an elongated proximalmost second wall;
- an elongated cover flexibly attached by an elongated flexible web to the second wall, the elongated cover also having an elongated connecting leg extending inwardly therefrom;
- and
- an elongated first hinge leg flexibly connected by an elongated flexible web, to a distal edge of the elongated connecting leg extending from the elongated cover, the elongated first hinge leg also flexibly connected by an elongated flexible web, to an upper edge of the first wall, where movement of the elongated cover effects axial rotation of the elongated first hinge leg.
A method of retaining a display panel within an openable and closable frame member, with the frame member being in abuttable contact with a fixture, comprising:
- extruding an elongated base panel having an upper surface with a first wall extending perpendicularly therefrom, and a second wall connected to and spaced apart from the first wall, the second wall having a rearmost vertical plane;
- co-extruding a cover so as to be flexibly attached to the second wall by a flexible web, the first wall and the cover being connected to one another by a flexibly attached first leg connected to the first wall and also to a second leg connected to an inside portion of the cover, the cover in its openmost position extending no further open than the rearmost vertical plane of the second wall;
- closing the cover against a display panel by pivoting the cover about the flexible web by which it is attached to the second wall, by rotating the first leg and the second leg in directions counter to one another.
