Process for producing openable photograph holders

Process for producing openable photograph holders (1) characterized in that it comprises the following operations:

• providing a laminar sheet made of metallic material;
• plastically deforming by molding said laminar sheet in such a way as to obtain at least one first semi-finished piece (2) of rounded or deep-drawn shape and at least one second semi-finished piece (3) having a profile substantially equal to the profile of said first semi-finished piece (2);
• arranging a pair of shaped bottoms (4) made of metallic material and having profiles substantially equal each other and to said profile of said semi-finished pieces (2, 3);
• removing material at least in said first semi-finished piece (2) of rounded shape in such a way as to get an ornamental pattern (5) suitable to remain at sight while using said openable photograph holder (1);
• firmly coupling said shaped bottoms (4) one for each of said semi-finished pieces (2, 3) so as to form two half portions (6, 7) of said openable photograph holder (1), each of which presents an outer surface (6a, 7a) suitable to remain at sight in any condition of use of said openable photograph holder (1) and at least one of which presents an inner surface (6b, 7b) suitable to house a photo;
• rotatably constraining together said half portions (6, 7) so as to form said openable photograph holder (1) and define for said openable photograph holder (1) a closed position, in which said inner surface (6b) of a first of said half portions (6, 7) is entirely facing and substantially close to said inner surface (7b) of a second of said half portions (6, 7), and at least one opened position in which said inner surface (6b, 7b) of said half portions (6, 7) is at sight.
